so can the whitelisting thing work because i was thinking of implementing it.
Imagine i have a problem where i am working for a client and their mails (they are using MDAemon) cannot be sent .but they can receive mails from wherever!
the settings from the mail server are perfect , i mean i have followed the right track all through.
the isp is access kenya but when we contact them they are of no help to me.
I am very much lost , am thinking of implementing the whitelisting procedure and see i it works.
advice me on that

James,
If you have more than one IP then changing is you only option here, otherwise your only hope is google support. Whitelisting on other blacklist databases may not be of help as google probably does not check them.

Good start with cleaning your LAN but you need to ensure that spamming from
your network does not recur again by installing a spam filter on your
gateway. Once you have protected your LAN you will have to manually unlist
your IP/domain from the online DNS blacklist lookup tools available (e.g.
http://multirbl.valli.org), which will take a few days depending on the
blacklist mail servers.

@Karunyu, You must be a Systems Designer/Analyst. @ Njoroge, You must be a
Systems Developer/Programmer. I like both arguments coz what we are all
saying is that a technological solution is required - the end justifies
the
means - and that for it to be feasible, some analysis/design is required -
means to an end.

@Peter the important thing here is not that the data will sit in one
database, for example once the system is in place the statistic's
bureau
could be better placed to give timely and accurate data that could be
used
for development purposes or business. Think about it we are all
elements in
a system and are all inter-related in some sense. They say Nairobi has
4
million inhabitants, where do they all live, are there services where
they
do what is there household incomes for example. How easy would it be to
get
that information? How many people are trained as electrical engineers
and
what level of study do they have college, university?.

The fear of your data being stolen should not be an issue.

The fear of data being stolen is a VERY real issue for some reason,
probably why there are several legislation's which provide guidelines on
it. The more the data becomes personal, the more it needs to be secured
and
restricted.


How many banks have you heard have been hacked into? Most of the theft
is
done with help from the inside, same way right now if you know somebody
you
could mine information on someones bank accounts etc.

I read somewhere on the net that banks tend to NOT report any frauds or
hacking to the public domain for fear of client backlash.

Any human designed system can be hacked, its all a matter of time and
effort. Ideally, security experts just try to make it really time and
effort consuming when they secure systems, thus make the hackers focus
on
easier targets.


As an important service by the government i believe the right people
would be hired if they have not already been.

I wish not to make this a political discussion, but our type of
government
is led by politicians, who tend to make political decisions when
appointing
people to positions. This significantly reduces my trust in the fact
that
politicians will appoint the right people to the right positions.


Unless am not looking at it right all proposed data entry points have
access to electricity and a mobile network. The Local hospital, the
chief's, also they could have rechargeable devices that could be used
in
the field if the need arises.

Again, this is a error programmers make, i.e assuming all users run the
latest version of Firefox, read instructions on screen before entering
data
etc...

What are the data entry points?

In my opinion, these would be all government offices and facilities,
including remote chief's camp's. I come from the slopes of mount Kenya,
a
relatively well to do region, and in some of the interiors, chief's
offices
are just mabati sheds without even a typewriter, leave alone a computer.
How bad is it in NEP?

Suppose one is in an area where they have to climb a tree to access
mobile
network signal?

However, we are asking the right questions. Given these operating
conditions, we should then put in a core requirement, that the solution
should be useable on mobile phones with or without internet.

Hi,

Our lan had spambots that let to our IP being blacklisted. We cleaned
the lan and put up measures to ensure it doe not happen again.

we are not able to send mail to gmail. we have filled some google
online form for whitelisting, but it seems to be taking forever.

Is there a quick way for whitelisting the ip on gmail?

PS 3==

God of War III (plus God of War titles repackaged for the PS3) - truly
intense

Red Dead Redemption

Hitman

Twisted Metal

etc name it


I dont know what playable formats the Xbox supports -- but the PS3 support
of external hardisks and playback of xvid, divx and mp4 formats is quite
an
advantage. Video media also playable straight from the internet without
undue pluggins

Final Verdict is here from a technical point of view (PS3 wins on most
fronts):
