“This week, several interesting papers were released. “Using
Postfix for Secure SMTP Gateways,” by Mick Bauer and Brenno de
Winter, is particularly helpful to administrators new to
postfix. Also, if you’re new to constructing firewalls, “A Few

intrusion detection, and firewall penetration tests. This article
provides a good introduction to all of the major scanning software
available.”
