Spam email question

Hi all, My Bubba server is over 2.5years old and still performing excellently ! I've never seen the need to upgrade to B2 but guess someday I will. In the meantime, when I first setup Bubba as my email server was receiving a tremendous amount of Spam email. After around 6 months my router crashed an...

I totally agree with your comments. One reason I have yet to upgrade to Bubba 2 is that my Bubba one still works so well. Though I am sorely tempted, I think the W-LAN module will finally swing me when it arrives.

But now the Debian Sarge repositories seem to have gone completely, can anyone point me towards the repositories I can use to install new packages etc ?

I've been using my Bubba 1 as my private mailserver for 1.5 years now and never had any security problems. As long as your firewall is setup with only the required ports open, there is very little a hacker can do. I do get regular attempts to do port scans and also attempts to login to Bubba by 'bot...

I also found a small C programme to calculate prime numbers (remember to remove the line breaks if you copy+paste into vi or whatever) - http://bellard.org/mersenne.html This took over 10 hours on my Bubba 1 ! I had a similar programme on my 1MB 286 computer years ago and that took 4-5 days to compu...

My Bubba 1 takes 1m31 seconds to do this :o

However, by using the up/down arrow keys, I'm able to scroll down to display the "Add" button. Thanks Lelle, never thought of that so will give it a go. Carl, scroll bars do exist on the other pages such as 'File manager' but that's part of the frame and not the browser. In fact I can rep...

Download page on a EEEPC problem

I recently got an ASUS EEEPC and have installed eeeUbuntu on it rather than the default OS. It comes installed with Firefox 3 browser. However when I log into my Bubba I do not get a vertical scroll bar on the 'Download' page of the Webadmin interface, which means I cannot add new downloads (which i...

looking at their forum, the performance of the desktop leaves a bit to be desired. With Bubba I am able to stream to my laptop and then to my TV so the display side is handled by a PC and Bubba can dedicate it's resources for streaming. I am so looking forward to BUBBA|TWO which will fix my only gri...

Strange email problems ?

Hi all, I am not sure if this is a fault or something I've done wrong (quite likely the latter). Up until Friday I would receive around 30-40 SPAM emails a day. On Friday I caused a major problem with my router and had to reset it back to factory defaults. It took me hours to get it working again, p...

Looks good ! I am sorely tempted !! Especially as the WLAN can be added on after sale.

Is the Bubba|TWO built in a metal enclosure ? Although it's hard to see on the technical drawings, are there any air-vents, as always I am concerned about hear dissipation..
