Multi-Language Server
Have not had to do this before as my server has only had English on it. However, we are setting up cultural translations of web sites (ie, different icons, idioms, language) due to a partnership with some culturals specialists. Question. Any ideas on what areas I need to modify and the modifications I need to make. I have Apache, MySQL, Perl and PHP all directly related to web sites. Just getting into this, so I haven't RTFM'd too much yet. Any ideas you have would be helpful.

I have done this for 250 Euro/month (please note: In germany I must pay for traffic even if I have a 34 MBit Backbone...) Now in France I will get two 2 MBit Backbone (Loadbalancing) with 256 IP-Adresses from UUnet and I will host Client Servers.

As you can see, these entries are only _warnings_. I've got many similar ones and mail _is_ delivered. Unless you give us real proofs (from your log) that some messages are lost (not even lost, but bounced in the worst case) due to these, I dare to say that you're wrong :-) . -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.

hi, why don`t you choose germany for an co-location ? german connections are one of the best in global connectivity. our servers were hosted by GATEL / Frankfurt. you get your own debian box with an uplink 10/100/1000 whatever you need for an good price. our hoster is aixit.com they are professional and very competent with debian. mail your wishes to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i am sure that they have an solution that fits your needs. best regards, sebastian Jeremy Lunn said: > One of my clients is looking into hosting a server in the USA, since it > costs much less than doing it here in Australia. > > The problem is that most hosting companies only tend to supply Red Hat. > We'll need a machine with a very basic base install of Debian, obviously > along with networking and ssh.

postfix delivery prob

Re: Debian Co-location in USA
Yes, Germany is in these days connected with best connections to various international backbones all over the world. If you choose a good connection here you can't expect the "500 GB for 1$"-offers some companies in the US might give you - but who cares about "cheap" when: - server is done multiple times - connection is slow or unreachable - servers are cheap and maybe old -> no data mirrored -> data-loss I'd propose that you might want to take a look at SpeedPartner. They offer very good 24/7-service for reasonable prices, excellent reliability and offer Debian as well.

Qmail + Amavis + Spamassassin
Hello, I want to use Qmail with Amavis and Spamassassin on a Debian Woody server. Qmail and Spamassassin are both available on Woody but Amavis isn't. What source do you use for the (backported) amavis packages I used deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/debian/woody/backported ./ on a test server but thay don't serve Amavis packages anymore.
