KurtKrautDoes Ubuntu Server comes with postfix already installed ?04:48
infinityNo, but "apt-get install postfix" isn't tough.04:59
infinityUbuntu Server is about choice, not prescribed solutions.  So, if you want an MTA, install away ("apt-get install exim4" tends to make me happy, for instance)04:59
KurtKrautinfinity, I'm just asking because a server of a friend of mine was beeing used to do SPAM thru postfix05:08
KurtKrautinfinity, and he didn't installed any daemon besides apache05:08
KurtKrautinfinity, so or Ubuntu Server comes with postfix installed or running or someone got acess to the machine remotely, got sudo powers and installed postfix05:09
KurtKrautinfinity, because postfix was running and being used to send spam05:09
KurtKrautI'm trying to figure out what happened05:12
infinityHe could have installed any number of things that depend on an MTA (and thus brought in postfix)05:18
infinityThough most spam bots I've seen don't use the installed MTA at all.05:19
infinityThey will get in through vulnerable PHP scripts (and such), and use their own spam-bot as the www-data user to mass-mail stuff.05:20
infinityI've never actually seen anyone use a local MTA for that (though people will take advantage of misconfigured MTAs that allow open relaying, of course, cause that doesn't require breaking in)05:20
infinityBut our default postfix config doesn't allow any relaying, so if he "accidentally" installed it, it can't be used as a remote relay.05:21

dkeshHi, I've been running hoary for 350 days, then I had to reboot.  Now it won't stay up for 2 days.  Complete lockup, no reboot.  I'm guessing I upgraded some package during those 350 days that caused instability on reboot.  Are there known instabilities in hoary?05:16
