Re: how to monitor,or be notified of email blacklisting ?
Actually mxtoolbox.com offer automatic notification for blackistings. The free account supports one ip only tho, you will have to register to get notifications for all your servers if you have more than one. - Original Message - From: "Eric Peters" To: "Rudi Ahlers" Cc: "Ubuntu Server Team" Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 3:50:29 PM Subject: Re: how to monitor,or be notified of email blacklisting ? One tool I find useful for that type of stuff is MX toolbox http://www.mxtoolbox.com/ might be of some help, don't think it does auto notifications though. On a side note: If your customers are getting blacklisted why not run all mail through a SMTP transparent proxy filtering out the spam? Something like ASSP http://assp.sourceforge.net/ ?Or do they control their own mail servers? If that's the case that might not work for you.

Among the possibilities are: - Creating a script that checks your IP(s) against the relevant blacklists and run it regularly (by cron, for example). - Creating a plugin for the monitoring software of your choice (or using an existing one) and let that do the check. Take a look here http://www.heise.de/netze/artikel/Verdrehte-Abfrage-223890.html for a standalone shell script and here http://www.heise.de/netze/artikel/Nagios-Plugin-223892.html for a nagios plugin (which I use BTW).

how to monitor,or be notified of email blacklisting ?
Hi, Does anyone know how I can monitor our server's for blacklisting? We run a large amount of shared hosting & reseller hosting servers and from time to time one of the IP's will get blacklisted. I'm looking for a way to be notified if any of our IP's get blacklisted.

Re: Status of Ubuntu Server documentation for 10.04

Given that we ensured that apport is installed by default on ubuntu-server in Karmic and that Chuck Short has been working to add apport package hooks for server packages this cycle, I thought it would be useful to have some documentation in the server guide about how to file bugs with ubuntu-bug (and that you don't need a desktop environment/X to do so).
