Re: Carrier class email security recommendation

The man did say "carrier class" .. not "small webhost for four
families and dog".   You're talking multiple mailservers + filtering
gateways / appliances etc, clustered .. rather tough to do that with
one pizzabox 1U running a linux that's not updated in years and
configured with webmin.

And have you used / deployed any of those devices to claim they don't
support NTP?  Or whether that's a bigger constraint than an
underpowered linux box? :)

Yes William, but realize that was an "easiest method" solution. There
are any number of others as well.

The point is that integrating an appliance type functionality is pretty
easy if you bother to take the time.

What I really wanted to point out is how many of the devices dont allow
authenticated NTP meaning they are worthless from an evidence
perspective, something that we as network engineers are constrained by
as well.
