------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mailserver policy http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1111595903 Today, we changed the policy of our [1]mailserver to reject mails from non-resolveable senders. This will stop a lot of spam and reduce the load of our [2]mailserver - on the other hand, it may be that some really broken setups are no longer able to send us mail. Please contact [3]us in case of problems.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firewall for VPN http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1111391954 Since this morning, all [1]VPN connections to ETHZ are [2]firewalled. You need to run VPN in case of using [3]wireless LAN or accessing protected services like [4]IDES from outside. This is the first step in realizing NETng. The VPN service is out of our control and you should contact the [5]helpdesk in case of problems.
