Same here, no real problems (since Jules fixed the queue ID thing way
back). Very stable, very simple, yet .... very configurable(!)...
I especially like the ease of coupling anti-UCE PF things (and domain
anti-spoof) with MS versatility and resilience.... Best of everything!
(Well, I could probably do without McAfee, but don't tell the PHB I
said that:-):-)
Couldn't agree more about Mr Field and Mr Benema... Sometimes I think
one should turn to the time-tested nordic traditions.... Put 'em on a
small islet with some food and a big keg of booze (and some sharp
implements).... Pick 'em up a couple of days later.... Either they'll
be friends, or there will be a need for a coroner:-):-)
