  3. Introductions • Name • Title • Location

  4. Widener Nortel Biased • “After giving this much thought, given our partnership with Nortel, it would not be appropriate to bring HP, Alcatel, or Cisco into a WINS meeting to discuss Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches. Our partnership is very strong and should not be jeopardized. If you want to invite other school district technology representatives to a meeting with HP at your facility, you can bring it up at the WINS meeting. Thanks!” • “This was not a turnabout. I have never invited any other vendors to present Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches. The vendors brought in from other school districts were presenting other solutions in other areas. The Nortel partnership has reaped benefits for all of the school districts, and as much as you may disagree, to you as well, that has given us a stable backbone that all of the districts have come to rely on. Some school districts ( Garnet Valley, Haverford, Interboro, Radnor, Rosetree Media, SE Delco and Springfield ) have also chosen Nortel as their vendor of choice for Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches. • I am biased to Nortel Networks. And I would hope that you would be biased to HP, as a true partner should be. I respect your choice and the choices of other districts that have chosen Cisco and Alcatel. • The purpose of the WINS meetings is to promote communications between the school districts and to keep everyone informed of past, present, and future events related to Internet and Intranet connectivity. I invite you to join us, if you wish. If you are uncomfortable with this and choose to conduct a separate meeting, I would respect that as well.”

  5. Spam Issues • Spam blocking enabled on Fortinet in February with 4 lists bl.spamcop.net - http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml? dnsbl.sorbs.net - http://www.us.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml dnsbl.njabl.org - http://dnsbl.njabl.org/lookup.html block.blars.org - http://www.blars.org/errors/block.html • Week of March 14th many complaints • Review of lists conducted • Found management of Blars http://www.blars.org/blars06c.jpg • Email response limited to only one message • Logging only indicates blockage, IP address, and Email address

  6. Spam Currently • Escalated to Fortinet on March 18th • Fortinet recommendation to only use one list • Look at log in RAW format to locate user email address • Spamcop most widely used • Only configured Spamcop and added verbage to Email response : • “Widener University is blocking SPAM. This message has been blocked because your IP address has been reported and placed on a Blacklist maintained by SPAMCOP.

  7. Spam Options • Allow more Spam to get through with fewer lists • Add more lists that are on same verification site like : http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx?AG=GBL • Give user (a lot/some/little/no) guidance to remove their IP address from the Blacklist • Allow SPAM on the Fortinet and purchase another product like Cipher Trust or Baracuda or …
