Simple solution: put your server inside of a cabinet or enclosure that immediately powers it off if opened with a hidden micro switch. Additionally, write a little udev rule to immediately power off if any new USB device is connected or Ethernet is unplugged.

So a trip-switch for the server?

How would one access it if one needed to do config changes or, really, anything the server for legitimate purposes?


ssh in and shut down first (and/or just use a properly reliable filesystem).

Mail transfer can tolerate multi-hour interruptions. Imagine the drama if it couldn't!


If you can ssh in, couldn't they ssh in?
