** Added a few pages in the postfix area, still more to come.
** Clarksville.net got their IMGate running. They are extracting the
IMGate gate traffic from the postfix logs and graphing it in real-time via
MRTG here:
http://gate1.clarksville.net/stats/postfix/postfix.html
At midday Monday, it looks like their gateway is running at rate of 15,000
to 20,000 messages/day.
Superb effort by Donald Broadbent. Besides raw total traffic, he's looking
into extracting and graphing the rejected msgs traffic, too. If we're real
nice to him, maybe Donald will contribute his extraction/graphing back into
the IMGate project and site.
** LinkLine.com / Keith Mangold got a dual IMGate config up this past
weekend. afaik, the first dual IMGate besides my own. Here's an indicative
quote from Keith:
"Yesterday (Saturday) the system (IMGate) received over 10,000 emails
(that's just for the linkLINE domain, we have over 500 hosted domains on
our imail server). The system rejected 434 messages."
Keith tells me that the msgs rejected by IMGate are roughly split between
black-holes and open-relays. Monday's LinkLine's peak mail
day. Gradually, Keith intends to point all his hosted mail domains' MX
records to IMGate. Or better, 1/2 at one IMGate machine, and 1/2 at the
other IMgate machine for incoming load balancing.
Keith says that for about 20,000 messages received Monday through noon by
his IMGate machine, about 1000 were rejected by IMGate, right at 5% reject
rate, but that is just using Mail-Abuse.org's MAPS databases. More spam
could be caught with Reg Ex filtering on msg headers, protocol controls,
and DNS validations (MX, A, reverse lookups)
Keith is using an old machine, and the IMGate load is just about 0.04 %. vbg!!

** This site added up a page about upgrading from BIND4 to BIND8
contributed by DNS guru Barry Margolin of BBN Planet.
** Added a page containg a CERT Advisory: Continuing Compromises of DNS
Servers. If you are running versions of BIND below 8.2.2 p5, you should
read this.
** BIND8NT also became an Amazon associate site. "Money for Nothin" MTV's
next! vbg
** A lot of refinements and additions in text on various pages, esp. the
Resources page.
** The BIND people at www.ISC.org listed my BIND8NT site on their links page:
http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/vendorware.html
** In its first week of operation, BIND8NT has about 200 downloads of the
BIND8 for NT4.
** O'Reilly, the publisher of the DNS and BIND book, gave me permission to
use their trademarks and images and were generally most
