Troy: First introduced to Linux in 1995 or so on the beloved and overworked
nermal.santarosa.edu. Switched to Linux on the desktop for fun and work in
1999. Finds booting other OS's less necessary with the advent of native
Linux games such as RTCW, Unreal Tournament and Frozen Bubble.

This is our normal monthly meeting at the normal scheduled time and place.
NBLUG meetings are open to all and are free of charge.
Hello NBLUG members!
We have a great presentation for you:
Dealing with spam in Linux...
Details:
Most of us get spam, and many of us who get spam don't want it. So, what
do we do about it? Come hear a panel of NBLUG members talk about various
methods that can be used in Linux to help decrease the amount of spam that
makes it to your inbox.
Eric (Acting NBLUG VP) is presently employed at SRJC and has found several
methods for filtering spam. He has experience with such tools as Procmail,
SpamAssassin and others.
Frank Ball (Active NBLUG Board Member) works at Agilent. He has found help
in avoiding spam with customized ipchains/iptables rules as well as
employments of other tools.
M.E. (Acting NBLUG President) quit his University staff job to become a
student of Computer Science who has found sanctaury from spam with
procmail and spamassassin.
