Remember that you can run multiple BOPM on one machine. Each BOPM can connect to a different IRC server to protect that server's users. This can be helpful in situations where you have a Windows IRCD (because there is no Windows version of BOPM), where shell process limits prevent the running of BOPM, or where port scanning from a particular host is not desirable. We do not however regard this to be an ideal solution.

BOPM (Blitzed Open Proxy Monitor) is an open proxy monitoring bot initially designed for Bahamut and Hybrid based IRCDs. The bot is designed to monitor an individual server (all servers on the network have to run their own bot) with a local o: line and monitor connections. When a client connects to the server, BOPM will scan the connection for insecure proxies. Insecure proxies are determined by attempting to connect the proxy back to another host (usually the IRC server in question). See similar questions...

It is true that Blitzed is rather small, and we did at first only write BOPM for ourselves. However, since January 2002 many other networks have taken an interest in BOPM and we have been receptive to their needs. BOPM now counts some of the largest IRC servers in the world amongst its users. Admins on EFnet, IRCNet, Freenode and others use BOPM. Some of these servers deal with 400 client connections per minute under normal load. See similar questions...

If you are accessing our POP3 mail servers from outside our network, you'll need to setup your email client to "Use Authentication" which will then allow you to send email through our mail servers, provided you are one of our customers. i.e. See similar questions...

IRCD which presents connection notices in a format which BOPM can be made to recognize. As long as your IRCD has connection notices which include the IP address of the user then this will be possible via the connregex config directive.

First of all, do you really need to do this? We can't support your use of unreleased CVS versions of BOPM; they are for developers and those who know how to use CVS. For that reason, this FAQ will not go into detail about the use of CVS itself. All of our releases come set up ready to do anonymous CVS. See similar questions...

In Domain settings - > Router/firewall, you should set item "Router/Firewall's WAN IP or Domain" to router/firewall's WAN IP, also note the passive port range in Server Settings - > General, you should properly set your router/firewall, open the port 21 and ports in the passive port range, make it forward all packets on these ports to your server computer.

We can't really provide documentation for every DNSBL there is, mainly because the policies and procedures of those DNSBLs may change from time to time. So, this section will give links to the relevant documentation for some DNSBLs. Tor is an effort by the Electronic Frontier Foundation to provide completely anonymised Internet use. As a result the possibility for abuse of poorly-designed protocols like IRC is immense. There exists a Tor DNSBL with instructions for configuring in BOPM. See similar questions...

Although both the network and the server go down occasionally, the most frequent cause of connection problems is an expired password. Click here for instructions on changing your UST network password. See similar questions...

The SpamBayes Outlook plug-in simply watches the folders that you have instructed it to for new mail. When new mail is received, Outlook informs SpamBayes, which then scores the message and performs the actions you have asked it to, depending on the message score. Thus it isn't involved in the delivery of mail, and so has no idea that it is coming from Exchange. See similar questions...

Yes. We recommend that the IT administrator create a directory with disk images for our products. The administrator or the users can then access these disk images to install or update the software from each desktop. This can greatly speed the installation and upgrade process.

Possibly. If you can demonstrate a legitimate need and we feel we can trust you with the information. Please apply by email to opm-xfr@blitzed.org. In the email you send you will need to explain why simply querying each IP address you see against our DNS-based blacklist is not sufficient for you. See similar questions...

The connregex config directive tells BOPM how to recognize a connection notice. There are plenty of examples for major IRCDs in the same config file, and more will be added here as they are contributed between releases. Please note that the connregex is a fairly complicated POSIX regular expression. The consequences of having an incorrect expression range from BOPM not doing anything to BOPM actually crashing.

Any computer purchased for use in a residence hall at George Mason University should be a network certified computer. Most major manufacturers of computer systems have two distinct product lines: one designed for home use, the other for use on a network. In order to take advantage of George Mason University's high speed network while on campus, the computer you purchase must be designed for use on a network and be equipped with a 10Base-T Ethernet card with an RJ45 connector.
