  • Create a secure intranet/extranet with TikiWiki and SecurePass – Giuseppe Paternò – [...]
    In this market segment, there’s still a need for a secure corporate intranet with the need to exchange private information and files. Collaborative places, such as wikis, are perfect solutions to quickly achieve this goal without spending a fortune. I found TikiWiki (http://www.tiki.org/) to suit best in these environments: while extremely easy to use for an end-user through WYSYWIG editor, the complex permission system allow you to set each page access or even show/hide part of the page to a given group of users, which is unique if compared to other solutions

  • E-MailRelay — SMTP proxy and store-and-forward MTA – E-MailRelay is a simple SMTP proxy and store-and-forward message transfer agent (MTA). When running as a proxy all e-mail messages can be passed through a user-defined program, such as a spam filter, which can drop, re-address or edit messages as they pass through. When running as a store-and-forward MTA incoming messages are stored in a local spool directory, and then forwarded to the next SMTP server on request.

    Because of its functional simplicity E-MailRelay is easy to configure, often only requiring the address of the target SMTP server to be put on the command line.

    E-MailRelay can also run as a POP3 server. Messages received over SMTP can be automatically dropped into several independent POP3 mailboxes.

    C++ source code is available for Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X etc, and Windows. Distribution is under the GNU General Public License V3.

  • OpenSource-IT.com – Finding the open source solutions ready for the enterprise
  • Ring of Saturn Internetworking – These documents and tools were created by me while I worked at Verio as well as all the time since then. As such, there are still some references to "customers" and maybe even some procedures we used while I worked there. Since the content is just fine, just a bit weird to read, I haven't updated these and am focusing more on adding new content rather than fixing these "bugs".
