Better than the huge flood of skr1p7 k1dd33 attacks (and open relay hijackers)
operating from AOL before they proxied things. And just _how_ many AOL users
would normally know what a packet is, if it up and bit them on the ass? :)

That said, set up exim to listen on the MSA port (587) as well. That should
(ideally) solve the problem for you. And it is more RFC kosher than weird
ports like 25000, 2525 etc.

LOST #119     -**< Sub : How to make a Loadlin bootdisk >**-
This is the simplest way making your own boot disk.  Totally a
DOS prompt job. In DOS [1] "format a: /s/v" [2] Copy two files
your kernel (usually vmlinuz) and "loadlin.exe" to it, [3] and
make a one-line config.sys to point to your / device and boot:
e.g. "shell=a:\loadlin.exe a:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro"
