Hmm. IIRC hotmail uses some commercial anti-spam tool (which is far less 
effective than spamassassin or any of the other tools...), google .groups in 
news.admin.net-abuse.email, I can't remember the name right now.

I've no idea how this helps you solving your problem. Probably a case for 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (but there's a chance that this will just prolong the 
blocking, given the average cluelessness of their abuse desk). Perhaps asking 
in the newsgroup I mentioned will provide a solution - lots of clueful people 
there.

How were the apache debs compiled ?

2003-04-16 Thread Maarten van der Hoef
Dear listreader,

I wonder how the apache of apache..deb  apache-common..deb (woody) was 
compiled,
the ./configure line ... etc. 

I want to create my own debian apache package, but I want it to
be compatible with the other packages in the woody-tree that
depends on apache, or where apache depends on other packages.

I did some utfs but no results, anyone ?

Best regards,

Maarten van der Hoef




daily apache-ssl reload is causing probs

2003-04-16 Thread David Wilk
Hello all,

I think I have found that an /etc/init.d/apache-ssl restart is the only
way to properly restart apache-ssl after a logrotation.  However, I've
had apache-ssl die two days in a row, and the culprit appears to be some
process that is sending apache-ssl a SIGUSR1 (what apache-ssl reload or
httpsdctl graceful issues).  

Here's the log:

[Mon Apr 14 03:00:18 2003] [notice] SIGUSR1 received.  Doing graceful
restart
[Mon Apr 14 03:00:18 2003] /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache started
[Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory:
mod_mime_magic: ca
n't read magic file /etc/apache-ssl/share/magic
[Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [notice] Apache/1.3.26 Ben-SSL/1.48 (Unix)
Debian GNU/Li
nux PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.26 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper:
/usr/lib/apa
che-ssl/suexec)
[Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default:
sysvsem)

the problem is I don't know what could possibly be issueing this SIGUSR1
signal to apache-ssl every morning at the exact same time that cron runs
/etc/cron.daily.  I've checked all my cron jobs and can't seem to find
the culprit.  

if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful.

thanks,
Dave

Get yourself the packages' source code from the Debian packages page (original 
tar.gz package plus Debian-specific diffs.) Then have a look at ./debian/rules. 
This script is executed when you rebuild the packages using dpkg-buildpackage.

So, if your machine doesn't have an executable killall, you're going to 
use /etc/init.d/apache-ssl's reload, which:

  reload)
echo -ne Reloading $NAME configuration.\n
$APACHECTL graceful

and $APACHECTL being /usr/sbin/apache-sslctl, the appropriate lines 
from graceful) are:

if $HTTPD -t /dev/null 21; then
if kill -USR1 $PID ; then
echo $0 $ARG: httpd gracefully restarted
else
echo $0 $ARG: httpd could not be restarted
ERROR=7
fi

So, there's at least one way to get a USR1 sent to apache-ssl.

apt-get source apache

This requires a deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list similar to the deb
line you already have there. Make sure to run apt-get update after
updating the sources.list file.

Re: Does hotmail using any spam blocking services?

I think one of the things hotmail does is reverse lookup on mx record,
ie: I'm running smtp on my laptop and any of my mails does not come
through but when I sending it via proper mx smtp its all ok.

incarcerated on charges of financial misdoing. Once I can clear up 
certain financial obligations associated with this unfortunate 
occurrence, I will have access to untold sums of money and equipment, 
and I will be able to send the equipment to you.

I would like your help to expedite the order. Please send $20,000 
unmarked US dollars in large plastic bags. Once the financial
