MX problem

2001-04-11 Thread Marek L. Kozak

Hello list,

I have a problem with my spare mail-system.

host -t mx mydomain shows:
mydomain: MX 20 mx2.mydomain
mydomain: MX 10 mail.mydomain

So it looks like it should be and it works - when sending host cannot
find my mail host it sends to mx2.
Spare host however cannot send to mail host and it does not wait til the
mail host is reachable. Instead it logs DNS problem and sends email back
to sender.

How to tell spare host to queue such emails and resend them when primary
host is on the line ?

PS. the spare mail-system is running sendmail, if it has any meaning.

You might want to try a hardware based balancer.  Something like Local Director.

 Works.

AFAIK, works better with PostgreSQL than MySQL -- there's a couple of
features that don't with on Potato with a MySQL database that do on
Postgres.

(Saw it in the docs somewhere and switched databases to get the
features...)

 Is it possible that he rolled-up a trojan kernel with daemons that nmap,

 We're reinstalling the system but it's important for me to know how exactly
 this guys does what he does. Comments, anyone?

You may want to consider keeping a copy of sash around.  (Statically
linked shell -- no shared libraries.)  It can be useful for repairs
and/or doing intrusion analysis.

I would really appreciate a pointer to which features.  Not that I am
likely to change, as usage is low, and most staff use it only to read
emails from cyber-cafes while travelling.  Just for info.

I think it had to do with Address Book functions.  If I remember
correctly PostgreSQL allowed a little better address book functions. 

If the system's mostly for folks to read mail while out of the office,
either database would probably be fine.

IMP works with postgresql too, which is far superior.

why use a toy database when you can run a real one that's easier to
administer, and is just as fast (actually, many times faster!) in
real-world usage?

mysql is blazingly fast in one particular situation: read-only
single-user access that only executes very simple SELECT queries. if
that description matches your needs then you might consider using
it...but when you need to do anything more complicated, it's much slower
than postgres.

btw, mysql's lack of transactions rules it out for any e-commerce
application...no matter what the mysql docs/faq tries to tell you, that
can not be emulated in the application layer.
