Re: OpenBSD Access Point?
Which chip/card is it, if you don't mind? I have issues with my RT2561 and am considering trying to replace it. (To be specific, it sometimes stops accepting association requests and requires a power cycle -- not just an ifconfig down/up or warm reboot -- to be reset. I haven't found a reliable way to reproduce it and I'm not sure whether it's a driver bug or hardware/firmware issue...)

A box you own and control. Gmail is NOT secure OR private. I don't expect hotmail, yahoo, etc. to be so either. Also, a few times hotmail released new versions of their web interface, they only worked for IE for about a week or two. As long as you don't own and control the mail server, someone else has physical access to it; hence it's not really secure. Personally, I run my own mail server on a VPS I rent (to ARP Network, by the way). Not the BEST of choices, but I sure trust them more ...

Freeze with Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
It looks like the IntelliPark feature on a Western Digital Caviar Green HDD can cause issues with OpenBSD, which can be fixed/mitigated by disabling IntelliPark.

The only issue I have with running my own mail server is that I can receive e-mails, but for whatever reason I cannot send out e-mails. I'm assuming it's because mail servers are denying e-mails from my IP or something since I'm on a residential connection.
