SAGE-AU Spam Open Forum

There’s been quite a bit of interest in the event below so I thought it may be worth making the details available to a wider audience. Please note, you *don’t* have to be a SAGE-AU member to come along and join in.

SAGE-AU Victorian Chapter Meeting – Tuesday 17th April 2007

DATE: Tuesday 17th April 2007

TIME: 7:00 PM till 8:00 PM

VENUE:
Ground Floor Tutorial Room
Baillieu Library
The University of Melbourne
Parkville

AGENDA: “Spam Open Forum”

After every monthly meeting, the VIC chapter heads over to Lygon Street for dinner at Papa Gino’s. As expected, there’s plenty of technical talk among members, however the one constant topic that comes up month after month is spam.

This month’s meeting will focus on spam detection technologies, spam filtering and the various tools we all use to reduce the amount of unsolicited bulk email that constantly hits our networks.

Sendmail, Postfix and Exchange will be discussed and tools such as SpamAssassin and Razor will be sure to get a good mention. We’ll cover the issues surrounding blacklisting as well as talk about the various managed services such as Postini and MessageLabs. This will be an open forum session catering for all skill levels so please feel free to bring along your questions, stories, strategies and solutions.
