Well, granted, most of the items in this cf are announcement items, for once
I have my own announcement to enter.

So here is an announcements item.

I would like to anounce that this morning I passed 70-081 Implementing and
Supporting Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5.

you gop!

        Microsoft Sexchange

Ali, wnat a job?

I would like to announce that I've been an Exchange admin for the past couple
months, and I've never even seen 70-081 :-P

Isn't the correct answer to Microsoft Exchange "no"?  Surely a complete
course isn't necessary for this?

You're confusing Exchange with Lotus Notes.

And with Lotus, you do need a complete course so that you can back up your
statement every time you have to say "No. It can't do that."

VMS Mail.  You read; you send.  You receive; you transmit.  No virii.

Oh, I don't think I'm confusing exchange with lotus notes.  This *is*
the mail software that eats machines for breakfast and wants more?  The
one that needs a full-time person to baby-sit it just to keep it from
self-destructing? The one where security was so much of an after-thought
that the anti-virus "fixes" cripple it?

re: 11 -- No, that's Lotus Notes. A properly-built Exchange server will run
for months, with little intervention. And as long as you update your virus
defs (which do not cripple the server), it's all good.

The security issues are problems with Outlook, not Exchange Server.

Because it was not built properly.

Why is it the Exchange server I built at work hasn't been rebooted in a month,
and is faster than greased shit?

Greased shit?!?!?!



I'm using Exchange here at work right now and it's kinda like greased shit
too... er, wait... I meant greasy shit.

        I miss VMS mail.

Me, too.  Elegance by simplicity.  Do one thing and do it well.

i have to use lotus notes at work.  and at times i am VERY frustrated 
with it. uuf!

We use Lotus Notes, and I am always frustrated with it.

We're going to be switching to MS Outlook in the near future.  I expect 
not to like that a lot more, but at least the user interface is not 
designed specifically to prevent the sending, receiving and storing of 
e-mail.  It's designed, instead, to encourage the spread of 
system-destroying viruses.  

This, at a company that sometimes sends one-line text messages as MS 
Word attachments.  A company which daily sends links to an internal WWW 
site, from which you read MS Word attachments that are 1-5 screen text 
messages.  (Psst!  Guys!  Just send the text, right in the body of the 
e-mail!)

One of my coworkers, who is a certified lotus notes administrator (that's not
what she's doing now) says that John is correct.

Lotis Notes is specifically designed to prevent the sending, receiving and
storing of email.

Why did you have to ask, Rick?  You know I never exaggerate.  
Exaggeration is the worst possible thing anyone can ever do.  Everyone 
who ever exaggerates, about anything, should be shot, carved into little 
bits, ground up, and then flushed down the garbage disposal.

and then the garbage disposal should be incinerated
by an ATOMIC BOMB!

only after you strap a couple of young orphans to it 

and gay baby harp seals

for JESUS!!!

don't forget to make 'em cripples

and the exchange server i help administer works JustFine (tm) for a
long time also .. months and months .. and all through the 'ifuckyou'
virus attack (didn't have to shut it down either .. bwaaaaaaaaa!)
  
actually, hasn't needed/wanted a reboot since before january 2000.

M-Net is up again.  Yay!

        How do you dial into M-net again, I think I forgot.

resp:29 - LIAR!!! I just tried it and it is still down. 

Man am I a sucker or what? sheesh

yeah, jerryr suckered me into trying mnet too.

i wouldnt mind being on mnet early, except i cant offer any technical
bug help.

m-nut is up fo a select list of beta testers.  sorry if you aren't on that
list, i had nothing to do with it.   note to void and slynne:  the july.cf
is good to go.

I didn't discuss being a beta tester with anyone.  I just logged in via 
telnet this morning.  The WWW is still down, and I don't know about the 
dialouts, but telnet has been working all day.

you are one of the chosen few, john.  it was bestowed on ya, no one asked for
it.  well, not true, i was asked to set up the july.cf and see if it went
smoothly.

for those of you not able to log on - it's very quiet and a little buggy yet,
so i wouldn't feel all that left out.

it's because YOU'RE SO DAMNED COOL

        Oh, okay then.  I hope someone beta-tests the dialins then.

Oh.  Well, sorry I mentioned it here, then.  I thought the messages I 
was seeing were old and that the beta testing was done.

nope.  I won't be leaving old messages.  I think everyone I've seen in this
item is "on the list" except igbor, whom I'm gonna add in a sec.
