GUM TOPIC: "Using Open Source Tools to Solve Big Problems: Email"
Speakers: Bill Moran of Potential Technologies
Host: Jonathan Billings
CoHost: Mark Dalrymple
Greeter: Brian Sammon

Talk Abstract:
Many independent sources have verified that one of the biggest problems in 
the world of computers today is email. Trying to stem the flow of viruses, 
spam, adware, and other unwanted emails, while still allowing important, 
legitimate email through, has become one of the most difficult things for 
IT departments to accomplish. In his presentation, Bill will explore what 
he learned while creating a mail server configuration that blocks 99% of 
unwanted mail, with no false positives.

This will be the same tall that Bill will give at the Ohio LinuxFest on 
October 2, 2004. Please go to their website for more information

Please note that the talk itself will be in the auditorium around the 
corner in Newell Simon Hall 1305. If you arrive late, Brian Sammon will
