What I disliked most of things in this institute is that its mail server is anti-spam free. The server is a Redhat box whose administrator seems to have little knowledge of anti-spam procedures. And because of accounts set up to facilitate communication among people of the institute, a sucked machine in the institute will stir a piling wave of spam fulling the mailboxes. Unfortunately nearly every worm that makes its footprint in the anti-virus progs’ databases will happily crawl in mailboxes of that server. I experienced for a couple of weeks with “Re:Hello” mails stuffing my mail box. So I gave up the hope that the virus-affected machine owner can some day update his virus database, and received all my mails using lab’s Debian machine, which is packed with Spamassassin and Amavis and read them with webmail prog.
