Call for Presentations for NZNOG 2007: Network Systems Administration Mini-Conference [....] Some possible topics: - Email servers and spam filtering techniques [....] Please send all proposals and questions to

At the risk of distracting everyone from arguing about responsible use of the list, I'd just like to point out that we still have room for a couple more talks at the Sysadmin Miniconf (on the first day of NZNOG 2007). And that we'd particularly welcome a proposal on, eg, best practices in running a mail server, or coping with the ever increasing volume of spam without rejecting all the legitimate mail. Proposals of other relevant talks (see the original CFP) are also welcomed, but be quick as we'd like to finalise the programme before Christmas so the speakers know what their summer homework is.
