[HECnet] LEGATO changed to CODA

[Sampsa Laine]

One thing I have found useful in stopping spam is using Google Apps as my front-line mail exchanger.

I just point my MX records at Google Mail, set up a catch all account and pick the mail up with fetchmail - port 25 traffic is outbound only.

Added bonus is that if my server is down no incoming mail is lost.

LEGATO is being retired - even though it's a fairly fast VAX as VAXes go,
it's just not fast enough to keep with all the SPAM that I receive every
day.   CODA is an AlphaServer, a DS20E, and a couple thousand SPAMs barely
even budge the CPU utilization numbers :-)

This shouldn't cause any problems for anybody - the general HECnet
connectivity is unaffected by this change, but I thought I'd mention it just
in case someone notices.
