Subject: Firewalls in mail senders Message-ID: <M20.13182@NJIT-EIES.MAILNET> If you think about it, these "Mail Wars" and system crashing and other damaging system hacking is not a professional way for students to act. Once you take that perspective the student accounts are No problem, if a student steps to far out of line he gets yelled at, hand slapped and warned that they could lose their entire college career, I have heard that if a student gets thrown out of school by the Committee for Professional Conduct they might as well decide to either pump gas for the rest of their lives or just start over from scratch. Once you make an example of one or two students your problems are solved. On the school's main computer (the dumb one, no mail system) there was even a student who was making lots of money on the cpu time allocated to him for classes, needless to say he's history... It's kinda fun to watch a student hang himself by ignoring such warnings, you know the kind, they wimper when you take away your account and then once they get it back they act like a hot shot in the terminal room as they go to crash the system one final time...
