Why security pros fear finance department middle managers
Aged 35-44 and work in finance? You're the most likely person to leak company data, according to top-level management
Security professionals live in fear or finance middle managers leaking data - but those concerns may not be realistic.
A poll of IT security pros revealed middle managers aged 35-44 who work in finance or HR departments are seen as the most likely culprits to leak company data - especially risky given the sensitive information they hold.
"The concern over HR and finance is, at least in part, due to the sensitivity of the data that could be leaked and the consequences of that, and not necessarily that these departments are more careless than others," according to Guy Bunker, Clearswift's SVP of products.
The survey of 5,000 individuals in four countries showed 48 per cent believed the finance department posed a security threat to the business, with HR coming second place with 42 per cent. The poll, carried out by tech research firm Loudhouse on behalf of Clearswift, spoke to both decision makers and line-of-business employees.
Additionally, most respondents believed middle-managers posed the greatest overall threat (37 per cent), compared to senior management (19 per cent) and administrative staff (12 per cent). What's more, those in the 35-44 age range were thought to be the most likely to leak data maliciously.
While there has been an increase in the number of insider attacks, many of the respondents' worries are a question of perception, not necessarily reality, Bunker told IT Pro.
However, he noted that companies only declare actual breaches to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), so IT staff might be basing their opinions on what happens behind the scenes, such as near misses and internal leaks.
New EU data protection rules, which are expected to be finalised by the end of this year, could make executives and board members "sit up and take notice" of security matters - particularly in the cases of large, global corporations, as the fines issued for data breaches will now be as a proportion of global turnover, and reporting will be mandatory.
"I do think that companies will start to put increased security processes and systems in place, to make sure that those near misses don't become incidents," Bunker said.

If It's Not Scottish, It's Crap!
What is it about Scotland, anyway? This is the cradle of culture that spawned Sean Connery, Primal Scream, Trainspotting, and Austin Powers' former enemy Fat Bastard. Add to that list Snow Patrol, related to fellow Scots Belle & Sebastian by friendship and musical influences. Where B&S couch their sardonic wit in deceptively gentle, '60s-ish, baroque pop, Snow Patrol combines a similar approach, along withfierce guitar noise -- not unlike My Bloody Valentine -- and elements of prog-rock. (Note the closer to SP's latest, Final Straw, "Same," progeny of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.) Where B&S aim to beguile, Snow Patrol emotes, albeit with a dash of affable rock-world bombast. By some, the band has been hailed as the next... whew, caught myself in time. There's no need to hobble a band as good as this with absurd expectations. I mean, how many "new Dylans " have there been, anyway?
Catch the Snow Patrol's drift in sunny Florida along with opener Athlete at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 28, at the Culture Room, 3045 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $16. Call 954-564-1074.

People, who have very little values, character traits, or self-respect. They are generally less able to make a success of themselves, since they spend most of their time and resources either purchasing a substance, sitting on a couch high for a temporary amount of time, or actually bragging about being high. When they get older and mature, they realize how much time and money they've wasted in order to have unhealthy lungs, bad memory, a criminal record, difficulty getting a job, and lack of muscle tone due to physical inactivity. On the other hand, people who become involved in weightlifting, sports, and other productive activities are known to have healthier minds and bodies, leading to self-confidence, self-discipline, women, and six figure salaries. Drug users tend to live in Ghettos or trailers, using their welfare money that comes from ambitious people's tax money to pay for marijuana, alcohol, ramen noodles, attire from Walmart, satellite TV, and the newest rap album which coincidentally has lyrics promoting their pathetic lifestyle. Why do you think drug use and crime is a problem in the urban, low class areas opposed to wealthy, suburban areas?
Jim sits around and smokes pot all day, being a typical Stoner, while Joe is working out, wrestling, playing golf and working hard for good grades. Joe ends up becoming a man, driving a Mercedes-Benz, marrying a woman who isn't a fat piece of trash and having a longer life. Jim ends up living in an apartment complex, and becomes dependent on government food stamps for the rest of his life. Hes basically a woman.

someone who smokes weed almost every day, but they arent a pothead yet.
what i used to be :)
by kourtney June 28, 2004
Someone who smokes weed all the time, and is so stoned all the time that they are unaware of their surroundings. The person is liable to smoke up to 4 joints a day, and things that are done in the house are always gone un-noticed. A stoner can sometimes forget where he is or what he is doing and can leave lights on, doors open, taps running and the heating on all night.
For fuck sake, the stupid git left on the lights in the hall, the kitchen, the bathroom, left the heating on, and left the tap running. I'll give him 5 years and he'll be dead from smoking that shit everyday, the stupid smelly Dog.

An amature. Someone who only smokes every once in awhile, or a one-hitter quitter. stoners think they're the shit but they have waaaaay more experience to go before they become a true pothead. being a stoner is nothing to be proud of, in fact i'd take it as an insult. stop bragging about being a "stoner" because it only makes you look like a retard.

A huge pod of about 1,000 Common Dolphins stampeded off the coast of Dana Point, California, like a herd of wild horses. This has happened twice recently though it is very rare. The line of wild dolphins could be seen from miles away churning up the water and, to the delight of whale watching passengers and crew aboard Captain Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari, the dolphins turned and stampeded directly over to the boat. Often this unusual behavior happens without warning and without any observable cause, as was the case this time.
Southern California has the greatest density of dolphins per square mile than anywhere on earth. This includes nearly 450,000 common dolphins like the ones in this video. Dana Point is one of the best places in the world to see one of these large megapods that can number in herds of up to 10,000.
Thrilled passengers aboard Captain Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari were able to see the spectacular show from a unique perspective too: below the surface from the Eye to Eye Underwater Viewing Pods! In the two Underwater Viewing Pods passengers are able to BE one of the pod and feel what's it like to swim with wild dolphins without having to get wet.

VCI Cuts 2012 Forecast for Sales, Production on European Decline
Germany's chemical association VCI, which represents 1,650 chemical companies such as BASF SE and Linde AG, cut its full-year forecast for revenue and production for the industry as demand from customers in Europe declined.
Revenue is expected to remain unchanged at about 184 billion euros ($230 billion) while production will probably decline 3 percent compared with last year, the Frankfurt-based group said in an e-mailed statement today. Previously the VCI had predicted sales would gain 2 percent and production to remain unchanged.
BASF, the world's biggest chemical maker, in July cut its estimates for global economic growth and abandoned a prediction for an upturn in the second half. That caution was echoed by Lanxess AG, a maker of synthetic rubber, which said last month that profit would remain unchanged in the second half, indicating that full-year profit would come in at the low end of its target range.
"We're having to postpone for the time being our hope for a stable upturn in the chemical business," VCI President Klaus Engel said in today's statement. "The European Union debt crisis is making itself noticed in the domestic market."
Customers in Germany as well as other European countries ordered chemicals "cautiously" and chose to destock their warehouses, VCI said. Selling prices in 2012 are still expected to be 2.5 percent higher than last year, the VCI said.
Sales for the industry fell 0.5 percent to 45.2 billion euros in the second quarter compared to the first three months of the year, the association said. Chemical production dropped 2.8 percent, with the biggest decline coming from the producers of basic chemicals.

What a great dinner for tonight. The tomato/wine combo was excellent ! AN EXCELLENT RECIPE, MADE FOR 1 2 3 TAG. Great post, will make again
I made this for DH's lunch. I minced some onion & black olives to add to the sauce. He said it was an interesting way to have pasta. Thanks for the recipe...
This is good for a quick, easy dinner. The tuna kind of melts into the background of the sauce flavor, and what really stood out to me was the delicious flavor of the tomato/wine combination. At the table I served this with grated parmesan, and the meal was enjoyed by everyone. Thanks, Cooks4_6 for a quick, easy delicious meal!
This is a great from the pantry pasta! I've made similar ones in the past and did take a lot of creative license, but did follow the steps..browning the garlic with the tuna, cooking down the white wine, and then added my favorite marinara sauce, chickpeas, and parsley. I didn't use nearly the 3 ounces of olive oil (just a drizzle in the pan to start sauteeing) and am wondering if perhaps you cut back on that, the fat/cals will go way down, which would be nice since for once you aren't eating cheese with pasta! Anyway hope you don't mind my changes and really yummy, easy and makes a ton!

The present invention relates to protection of a security system from power surges, more particularly it relates to an apparatus for the efficient and quick replacement of surge protection devices.
Security systems for controlling accesses to a restricted area are in common use today. Apartment complexes, gated communities; individual residences; office complexes; factories; and research facilities often have these systems. Typically, the system consists of one or more gates located at various entrances to the restricted area, which require the entry of a code into a communication unit located at the gate or calling a person on the communication within the restricted are in order to have the gate opened and thus allow access. Some systems also use radio transmitters that communicate with a transponder located in a vehicle arriving at the gate to identify whether the party has authority to enter. These systems also include gate operators or controllers, gate motors as well dedicated computer systems to control the operation and functioning of the system.
Most security systems in common use today have units located in the open or other areas where they are exposed to the natural elements and other potential hazards. These include security gates with all of the auxiliary systems necessary for the gate to operate including a gate motor, gate controller, local communication unit, dedicated computer system with software for the system to properly function, etc. One of the more common hazards such units are exposed to are power surges from lighting strikes, errant power line surges or the like. In fact damage or disablement of security system as a result of a power surge has been a persistent problem since the advent of movable barrier security systems.
In the past some manufactures, if they use surge protectors at all, relied on standard type of surge protection devices made for general-purpose use. These devices typically come in a simple package. Although these surge protection devices protect the system from power surges when such episodes occur the power surge often results in the burn out of the surge protection device either by design or simply as a result the magnitude and extent of the surge. In such situations it is necessary for a technician to service the unit to replace the burned out surge protectors. This entails identifying the burned out surge protectors, disconnecting them from the system, replacing them and connecting the new surge protector into the system. Since these problems can frequently occur the need to send a highly trained technician out to the site to conduct the repair adds significantly to the cost of repair. Given the complexity of the typical security gate unit, which as noted, not only includes a motor and gate controller, but sensors to detect the presence of a vehicle, a dedicated computer and communication units, multiple disconnections will have to be made after the affected surge protectors are identified and reconnections made upon replacement. Any errors in making the disconnections or reconnections can result in an inoperative system. Additionally, the technician generally has to know which surge protector or protectors have blown due to an over load in order to know which type of surge protectors to take when making the service call on the disabled unit. Surge protectors that are incorporated into a standard terminal block have been available for years. However, installation of a standard terminal block with surge protections circuitry incorporated into it also requires a trained technician to complete installation in order to assure all of the correct connections have been made. Thus although, use of standard terminal blocks that incorporate surge protection devices has been common with various types of electrical equipment for years, given the complexities of the systems they are used with they still require a trained technician fully familiar with the equipment being serviced to assure proper installation.
Thus, what is needed is an efficient and economical method and apparatus to facilitate the manufacture, repair and replacement of surge protectors on security units that have been disabled by transient power or lightening induced surges. A method and apparatus that can replace burned out surge protectors and ready the unit for continued use that does not require the presence of a highly trained technician and that can be accomplished by a person without significant training including the owner of the unit.
It is an objective of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus to facilitate the repair and replacement of burned out surge protectors in and efficient and economical manner. It is yet another objective of the present invention to provide a method and device that will allow the repair and replacement of a surge protector by a relatively untrained individual. It is yet a further aspect of the present invention to provide a surge protection apparatus that is both durable and cost efficient to manufacture.
The present invention accomplishes these and other objectives by providing a modular terminal block having: a) a first set of modular connectors that make detachable conductive connections with components of a security system control unit; b) a second set of modular connectors that make detachable conductive connections with peripheral components of the security system, each connector of the second set of modular connectors being conductively linked to a specified connector of the first set of modular connectors through at least one surge protection device; c) wherein the first set of connectors are specifically identified for connection with at least one connector of the security system control unit and second set of connectors are specifically identified for connection with a connector of at least one peripheral device of the security system to thereby provide for ease in connecting and disconnecting the modular terminal block; and d) wherein the first and the second set of connectors with surge protection there between form a compact modular terminal block that can be easily attached or removed from the security system.
The invention will be better understood by an examination of the following description, together with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a surge protector terminal block made according to the present invention; and
FIG. 2 provides a simple schematic diagram of known surge protector circuits.
FIGS. 3A to 3G provide schematic diagrams of various simple surge protection circuits that the present invention might employee;
FIGS. 4A to 4C depict different types of electrical connectors that might be used in the unit of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is an example of another terminal block made according to the present invention;
FIGS. 6A-6C depict various type of indicia used to match up the correct connectors in their proper pairs; and
FIG. 6D depicts modular connectors with seals.
FIG. 1 presents a perspective view of a combination terminal block surge protector made according to the present invention. The terminal block 21 with surge protectors incorporated is attached to housing 23 of the gate controller and related devices. Along its top, terminal block 21 has various connection receptors 25. These connection receptors are designed to receive connection plugs 27 from various external units that are not shown. These include power sources, various external sensors and a separate communication unit if in fact the communication unit is separate from the gate controller, etc.
Terminal block 21 also has its own connection via lines 29 and plug 31 to outlet 33 on circuit board 39, in the example shown a gate operator control board. Terminal block 21 is attached in a securely but removable fashion by mounting eyelet 41 that forms a part of the terminal housing 43. Eyelet 41, and a duplicate of which is located on the opposite side of housing 43, but not shown, are secured to the housing 23 of the gate controller and related devices by standard sheet metal screws. Other means of connection of the terminal block to the unit are of course possible. Terminal block 21 also has a ground connection 47 to complete the connection of the various surge protection devices located in terminal block 21.
Circuit board 39 is a typical circuit board of a security gate operator in that it has the circuitry of the gate controller, a dedicated computer with appropriate memory and other related devices mentioned above and hereafter. It also has detection device analyzers that interpret signals from detection devices located within the area of the security gate, such as magnetic loop detectors. As soon as a change in the field of the loop detector is sensed the analyzers send an appropriate signal to the computer, and the computer, running special software generates the correct system response. Drawings of the items discussed in this paragraph are not included since they are in general well understood in the art. Thus, a number of sophisticated units are located in the gate controller housing that are highly susceptible to power surges and require substantial protection from such power surges.
FIG. 2 provides a simple schematic type of diagram of one version of the surge protection circuitry that would be contained in terminal block 21. Input of power and/or sensing signals or other signals from other units of the system would be at input point 53. Input point 53 corresponds to connector pairs 25-27 (FIG. 1). On the opposite side of input point 53 is output point 57 that corresponds to connector set 31-33 that connect into the gate operator or other unit to be protected. In between the two points are gas discharge tube 59, positive thermal coefficient device, 61 and transient voltage surge protection diode 63 that form the surge protection circuitry. The circuit shown in FIG. 2 is well known in the technology of surge protection devices. A description of the operation of the circuit in FIG. 2 is unnecessary since those skilled in the art are fully familiar with how it functions. FIGS. 3A to 3G provide schematic diagrams of a variety of other simple surge protection circuits that could be incorporated into the terminal bock of the present invention. In FIGS. 3A to 3G the left side of the schematic is the unprotected side and the right side of the schematic is the protected side. The devices schematically depicted in FIGS. 3A to 3G are: FIG. 3A a TVS diode, FIG. 3B a transient voltage diode, FIG. 3C transient voltage diode working in conjunction with a PTC device (positive thermal coefficient), FIG. D is a metal oxide varistor, FIG. 3E a zinc nonlinear resistor diode, FIG. 3F a gas discharge tube and FIG. 3G a gas discharge tube working in conjunction with a TVS type diode. However, the examples provided are only a sample of the types of surge protection circuits that could be used in the present invention and not meant to limit the possible alternatives for surge protection circuits. Any variety of other surge protection circuits could be used.
A wide variety of electrical connectors could be used with the present invention. A simple male female connector with multiple prongs could be used. As an optional feature male and female connectors could be used that form water impervious seals for the reasons noted below. FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C provides a view of various types of quick connect and disconnect electrical connectors that could be used in the present invention. In FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C plug 67 would connect to pinheadeer 68. Among other types of possible connectors are the following: 5 mm terminal block connector, a screw type of connector, single connector, quick disconnect terminal connector, RS 485 connector and modular clamp connectors. The proceeding is only a sampling of the possible electrical connectors that could be used with the present invention. Those skilled in the art, once they have read this specification and understand the concepts of the present invention will readily see that it could be practiced with a wide variety of other types of electrical and electronic connectors.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention the connectors could form water impervious seals such as seals 203 (FIG. 6D) when connected to electrical connectors of the security system control unit and the peripheral devices. Additionally, the terminal block would have a water impervious housing. The terminal block housing could be made of strong durable plastic like material or of metal with appropriate seals to make it water impervious. Thus, when the terminal block and its connectors are connected into to a security system it would form sealed electrical connections and not be subject to shorting due to dampness caused by water present when it rains or from other sources of water such as sprinkler systems etc. This could be of significance in certain applications where the terminal block of the present invention might be used in a wet or damp locations.
Although the above description describes use of the terminal block of the present invention with a gate controller, computer and related circuitry it can just as easily be used with other stand alone devices that make up the local security system. This would include communication devices that make up part of the system. U.S. Pat. No. 5,854,831, incorporated herein by reference, provides an example of another stand-alone communication unit with which the invention could be used. This patent is owned by a company related to the owner of this application, which are both commonly owned. FIG. 5 provides one example of such a device that could be used to protect the communication unit described in the '831 patent. In FIG. 5 terminal block 81 at its unprotected side has two input connectors a RS 485 connector and a DC or AC power input 85 depending on the power source for the communication unit. On its protected side terminal block 81 has a power cord 91 and connector 93 that would connect to the power line terminal connector 95 of the communication unit. Likewise terminal block 81 has RS 485 line 97 and RS 485 connector 99 that connects to the RS 485 connector 101 of the communication unit. In the example provided both connectors 95 and 101 are located on a PCB board 103 of the communication unit. Power line 107 and RS 485 line 109 would connect to the terminal block 81 at connectors 85 and 83 respectively to connect the communication unit to rest of the system and to the local phone system. Terminal block module 81 also has a ground connection to complete the surge protection circuit of terminal block 81. A surge protection circuit similar to the ones depicted above would be included in terminal block 81. As can be seen terminal block 81 could be easily installed or removed from the unit. In addition identifying indicia 105 are on all of the connectors to facilitate the correct connection of the terminal block into the system. Although the example uses a communication unit that uses an RS 485 connection and protocols other types of communication protocols could be just as easily used.
One of the unique features of the present invention is the inclusion of indicia on the various paired set of connectors of the first set 31-33 that connects terminal block 21 to the security system controller unit and the connectors of the second set 25-27. The indicia allow a quick and effective matching up of the connectors in their correct pairs. The identifying indicia can consist of numbers, letters, alphanumeric code, color-coding, roman numerals or virtually any type of identifiable coding. FIG. 6A depicts connectors 151 and 152 with a single letter A used as the indicia to indicate they are to be connected to each other. In FIG. 6B it is a combined alphanumeric code 12C is used to match up connector 157 and 158. In FIG. 6C color-coding illustrated by hatched lines 161 and 162 are used to indicate that connectors 171 and 173 are to be connected to each other.
The terminal block of the present invention is thus designed to be rugged and easy to install and replaced without the need for special training on the system itself. If a surge causes an overload of the local circuits the circuitry of terminal block 21 will, as described above, protect the circuitry and units of the gate controller and related devices and/or independent units including communications devices. However, the severity of the surge may cause one or more of the surge protection circuits to burn out and thus require their replacement. Since all of the surge protection circuits are located in terminal block 21 all that has to be replace is terminal block 21. Removal of terminal block 21 simply involves 1) the disconnection of the plugs 27 and 31, 2) disconnection of ground 47 and removal of screws from eyelet 41, as well as the eyelet on the opposite side of terminal block 21 and 3) lifting out the burnout terminal block 21. Replacement of the terminal block simply entails: 1) attaching a replacement terminal block in the same position as the one removed, 2) insertion of the screws into the eyelets 41 etc., 3) connection of the ground of the new terminal block at 47, 4) reconnection of connectors 27 and 31 of the new terminal block. Connectors 27 and 31 in a preferred embodiment would have identifying indicia on them 71 and 72 respectively that match them up with indicia 73 and 74 of outlets 25 and 33 respectively. Thus, a highly trained technician does not need to service the unit when all that is necessary is the replacement of the surge protection systems.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made to it without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Top 14 Words Used By Cybercriminals
We here at Hair Balls have gotten pretty good at recognizing e-mail scams when we see 'em. For example, we don't give our checking account info to just any Olatunde, Abimbola or Harry who says he's a Nigerian prince -- we make sure they prove it to us by getting their phone number first.
But others aren't as shrewd as we are: According to cyber-crime-fighter FireEye, "e-mail based attacks increased 56 percent" for the first six months of 2012. The company issued a comprehensive report on how to deal with these thugs, and our friends at The Police News kindly posted FireEye's list of most commonly used words in e-mail scams. Surprisingly, the word "enlarge" or the phrase "add extra inches" were not included. (Not that we'd fall for such tricks...again.) See the list after the jump.
Keep an eye out for these red flags:
1) DHL 2) Notification 3) Delivery 4) Express 5) 2012 6) Label 7) Shipment 8) UPS 9) International 10) Parcel 11) Post 12) Confirmation 13) Alert 14) USPS

The Police News summary of the report states that "urgent terms such as 'notification' and 'alert' are included in about 10 percent of attacks." Cybercriminals also like to include "malicious attachments" like "UPS-Delivery-Confirmation-Alert_April-2012.zip."
Of course, there's always the abstinence approach to safety, which guarantees you will never fall victim to one of these predators: Never, ever check e-mail. Don't even log on to your computer. The only drawback is that it will be difficult for those exiled Nigerian princes who really do need money to get the funds in an efficient manner. But hey, we can always wire the money to them.

Transport and public health29 Jun 2016
Air and noise pollution from transport cause a wide range of health problems, with road transport and diesel vehicles in particular the biggest contributors. The European Union and its Member States are taking a series of measures to reduce the impact of transport on health with some success. Innovative solutions and local action can improve the situation further.
As a major contributor to greenhouse gases, the transport sector figures high on the international climate change agenda. But for many living in cities, under flight paths or near major road and rail links, it's another of transport's by-products that causes most immediate harm: noise.

A Server (Almost) of Your Own
There have been many automated attacks against SSH. At the very least, you must use strong passwords, or your system will be compromised. The apg utility simplifies this task. It generates random, non-dictionary "words" that you can pronounce. There are apg packages for most popular Linux distributions.
Make sure to look in the on-line Resources for this article for more information. SSH security is not specific to the VPS environment—it is also an important issue in standard virtual hosting. With a VPS, however, you do have the flexibility to protect yourself properly. The resources page is at /article/9380.
The mail server, also known as the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), is a program that delivers and receives e-mail messages. The MTA will receive all the mail that others send you. Likewise, any messages you send to others will leave your VPS through the MTA.
The default MTA on your VPS is Sendmail. This sophisticated, powerful program has advantages for complex e-mail configurations. Unfortunately, it also is difficult to configure and tends to have a lot of security problems.
Therefore, we replace Sendmail with Postfix. Postfix is efficient, very secure and, most important, easy to configure. Before proceeding with the installation, shut down Sendmail, and make sure that it will not start again on reboot. Then, install Postfix:
[root@myvps ~]# /etc/init.d/sendmail stop Shutting down sendmail: [ OK ] Shutting down sm-client: [ OK ] [root@myvps ~]# chkconfig --del sendmail [root@myvps ~]# up2date --install postfix
Note that using the up2date command to install packages is specific to Red Hat and related distributions. You may be presented with a configuration screen the first time that you run up2date. You can simply press Enter to accept the default values. In addition, up2date is sometimes very slow and can even fail for transient reasons. You can try the command again if it does not work the first time.
The main Postfix configuration file is /etc/postfix/main.cf. Save a copy of this file to read later, because it contains many helpful comments. Then, replace /etc/postfix/main.cf with the code from Listing 1. You should modify your new main.cf to specify the domain names that you will be hosting on your VPS.
# Example "main.cf" file for Postfix on a VPS. # # Note that lines that begin with whitespace # continue the previous line. # # LOCAL PATHNAME INFORMATION queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix # QUEUE AND PROCESS OWNERSHIP mail_owner = postfix # Host name is usually the domain name on a VPS. myhostname = first.domain mydomain = first.domain # Where locally-posted mail will come from. myorigin = $myhostname # Listen on all interfaces. inet_interfaces = all # This server is the final destination for these domains. mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain, second.domain # IMPORTANT -- accept mail for relaying ONLY from # the local machine. mynetworks_style = host # Where your aliases are. alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases # This user should receive any mail whose recipient # could not otherwise be matched. luser_relay = firstname.lastname@example.com # IMPORTANT -- local recipient checking must be # turned off for the "luser_relay" directive to # work. local_recipient_maps = # Error code to reject mail with when the local # recipient is not known. unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 # Your server's greeting banner. IMPORTANT -- it # MUST start with your server's hostname, and the # reverse DNS lookup on the server's IP address MUST # match this hostname, or your outgoing mail could # be rejected as SPAM. smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP # See the "main.cf" that came with your Postfix # distribution for discussion on the rest of the # directives in this file. debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5/README_FILES
Replace all occurrences of first.domain in Listing 1 with your own fully qualified domain name, such as openlight.com. The reverse DNS lookup of your VPS's IP address must return this domain! Otherwise, your outbound messages may be rejected as spam.
If you are hosting an additional domain name, substitute it instead of the second.domain entry. Otherwise, delete second.domain before using Listing 1. If you wish, you can also, replace maila in Listing 1 with the user name of your choice.
Now, append an entry to the /etc/aliases file to specify the user who will receive root's mail. Here is an example:
root: maila
Next, create accounts for the other e-mail users. Append any aliases for these users to /etc/aliases. The following example entry will cause user mailb to receive all messages sent to email@example.com:
promo: mailb
Note that if you have an additional domain name, messages to email@example.com will also go to mailb. For a small organization, this is probably the right default behavior, because all domain names that you will be hosting are almost certainly related. For example, if you are hosting an additional domain for your product, then tech-support questions about the product should likely go to the same person, regardless of which domain name appears in the e-mail address.
When you are finished, update the alias database file, and start Postfix:
[root@myvps ~]# postalias /etc/aliases [root@myvps ~]# /etc/init.d/postfix start Starting postfix: [ OK ]
Check the log file /var/log/maillog for any errors.
You can update the aliases file even while Postfix is running, just run postalias /etc/aliases again when you are finished.
You should now verify that Postfix is doing what you expect. Connect to port 25 on your VPS using telnet, as shown in Listing 2. Enter just the text highlighted in bold—the rest of the text is the system's responses. Of course, you should type the IP address of your VPS in place of MY.VPS.IP.ADDRESS, and your actual domain name instead of first.domain.
The articles is good,
The articles is good, however when it comes about email I think qmail offers more flexibility. From my experience I found Debian to be more apropriate for VPS than Fedora.
great article :)
Since I prefer postfix, too and use it together with dovecot I found this article very helpful. I think postfix together with dovecot is easy to configure and flexible enough for most tasks. Though it's a matter of personal taste as always.
the article is very good :P
I desagree with that i prefer postfix than qmail much easier to personalize and resolving problems and qmail u allways to have a patch to fix something or add something.....
The article is very informative.....thanks for providing such an in depth knowledge

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
