[Mimedefang] Strange activity

[Kevin A. McGrail]

I know there have been other opinions posted about this but it makes some 
sense with people who block ICMP without understanding the ramifications. 
I've also had a nagging feeling I read this somewhere else recently.

OK, this is funny.  In searching, I read it on comp.mail.sendmail last also 
posted by Yizhar.

However, I've also read similar recommendations with exim and VPN especially 
so it's not really the craziest thing I've ever heard.  I'm interested in 
hearing more.  I mean 8 bytes every 1300 bytes rather than every 1500 bytes 
just doesn't seem like that big a deal if it fixes real-world problems.

Regards,
KAM
