Subject: Fighting Spam - Open Sept. 12, 2002
For Open magazine subscribers

As soon as Open posted issue #35 four weeks ago, readers started to 
fire
back with very insightful feedback. 

About that e-mail server review, which covered settings to prevent 
spam,
Kris Buytaert, a Senior Consultant at Stone IT in Belgium, responds 
with
a penetrating overview of the Open Source software now available to put
these spammers and their Windows-based tools on the defensive. 

Then there was the story we ran about vendor pitfalls and market
promises surrounding the embedded Linux market.  Among the responses,
two industry insiders revealed polar opposite views with some rather
instructive arguments. Read their confronting views for a telling 
primer
of players at war in the embedded systems market.

to
your friends mired in proprietary systems.
