New policy on computing
New "Am I Registered" Link - Checks the machine that you are running.
Outgoing smtp - will close port 25 at router, both incoming and
outgoing.
New ssh scanners - Checks to see if they are running ssh v2. If it is
not, it issues a tissue ticket. (Not a block, just a ticket and e-mail.) If
it is running v2, then it is checked to see if there it allows passwords.
If it allows passwords, then you get a tissue ticket, as above.
Email Updates
Inbound: If you are offsite and using smtp.fnal.gov, sending e-mail
onsite, then you will have to authenticate.
Listserv: New way that listserv tags spam, and how it tags spam. The
list owner can verify spam before it goes to the list, if it got tagged as
spam.

New bugs Features
Support extended for S.L.F. 3.0.x by a year.
Support for S.L.F was originally to be "until at least October 2006",
after meeting and discussing this with the Hepix community, this date has been
extended by one year. The statement now reads "until October 31, 2007". That is
a firm cutoff date.
