[server-admins] mvnforums

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey Chris.  So are you back from your honeymoon?!

It seems like we should be able to run some cron job to do this stuff so
we don't have to keep checking in.

A couple things I noticed:

I sent an email a few days back about Barracuda marking us as spammers.
mvnforums seems to have a "send private mail" option.

Is there anyway spammers could be using that to send out spam through
our local smtp server?

Can we just turn off the private mail feature?

Troy
