[scottish] talks for September((not)August) 2002

[Huard, Elise - D C&W Consultant]

In Linux Format of last month they were praising SpamAsassin.  There were a
couple of interesting articles about security, as well (and it's
understandable for fairly inexperienced users like me).

	Well I am no expert on secure net connections, however to prevent
spam 
	there are a number of ways. One I currently  use is www.spamcop.net
its $30 
	per year filters spam before it even hits your system, moreover it
can be 
	accessed for POP and Webmail so you can read and write email on the
move. 
	Also if like me you have a Palmtop/Notebook for when you are out and
about 
	it prevents spam from costing you a fortune in call costs when using
your 
	mobile to download email.

	Spamcop isn't perfect but for someone like me who needs a desktop
and 
	mobile solution in one it's the most useful.

	cheers,

	rod
