IMail GUI equivalent for Linux?
In the process of setting a little web mail-hotel up, I've stumbled over a user-suggestion that calls for a webinterface for handling emailaddresses, forwards, spamfiltering and so on that is similar to the UI of the IMail Server (http://www.ipswitch.com/Products/IMail_Server/). The MTA will probably be either Exim or Postfix as I've no interest in Qmail. Local delivery is handled by what is necessary and reliable (Courier, Cyrus, whatever).

Sendmail Queuing
Good Day All, I'm running into an odd issue. We have 2 servers that act as front-end MX hosts running Sendmail. These servers then smarthost all mail back to a main server. This works well at keeping the main server unloaded due to dictionary attacks and whatnot. The problem we're seeing is the MX hosts bogging down when trying to deliver mail to the main host. Does anyone have any tried and true methods for getting Sendmail to be a little nicer about its queuing strategy? Or is the best option qmail or another MTA?

/etc/lilo.conf and system.map mismatches
I was wondering if someone knew how to avoid system.map mismatch errors when building 2 or more kernels from the same version. Could someone look at my inserted the lilo.conf and file names and tell me if I have some type of formatting error ? The kernel documention recommends that SMP users compile 2 kernels. The documentation recommends that one contains SMP support while the other should be in-case SMP does not work with the hardware. Reference from $my-kernel/Documentation/smp.txt: If you are using LILO, it is handy to have both SMP and non-SMP kernel images on hand. Edit /etc/lilo.conf to create an entry for another kernel image called linux-smp or something. Like the SMP recommendation, when I compile new stuff in I build a kernel without the extra modules, just in-case. For example, I have an xfs-kernel and a non xfs kernel. The last time I built 2 kernels of the same version I got system map mismatch errors after running system commands like ps. Is there something wrong with the file format I am using for my kernel ? My /etc/lilo.conf looks like this: lba32 boot=/dev/sda1 root=/dev/sda5 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map timeout=100 delay=100 prompt vga=normal default=Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-xfs2 label=Linux read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19 label=failsafe read-only My files boot partition looks for this 2.4.19 kernel looks like this: /boot/vmlinux-2.4.19 /boot/System.map-2.4.19 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-xfs /boot/System.map-2.4.19-xfs -- -- Ted Knab Chester, MD 21619 -- 940216d6021602a41607166696c656c202778696368602d65616e637 02940226c696e646c69702c6f667560256675627478696e67602a416 0716e6563756e2a0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

System Hardware Tracking
Well it's finally hit the point where we have a few machines where we have no idea what's in them. As an ISP with several hundred machines, it's become quite the challenge to remember all of the hardware. Has anyone made/found/dreamed of a script that can be run on each machine to keep track of the hardware in that machine. I'm more than happy to write one using perl/mysql, but figured I would throw this out to the list and see if someone has found/written something they use. Oh, and for all of those saying, write it down as your build the machine. I wish that would work, we just have too many people dealing with these things and when a problem comes up, our concern is to fix the problem ASAP, not count our hardware. Thanks for any help/ideas.

Re: bind9 vs tinydns vs others
Bind 9 is a total revamp of Bind 8. Bind8 had a bunch of security holes in it, so tinyDNS and the others came about. Bind9 was a rewrite from scratch with security as a goal. Bind9 is good for all types of general DNS stuff. Tiny-DNS is probably good for some applications, however you are going to find more documentation on Bind than anything else. http://www.nominum.com/getOpenSourceResource.php?id=6 On 02/12/03 16:46 +0100, David Zejda wrote: what do you prefer for authoritative dns? experiences/stability...? i have no verbose bind knowledge yet. thanks David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Software for a NIC (Network Information Center)
I think, the full Hardware/Software can not exceed 150k US$, better less. (the cost does not inlude the Online-UPS) I think the largest cost wont be in actual software infrastructure but in value added infrastructure. Do you want people to buy the domains online, that will cost. Do you want them to be able to receive e-invoices according to some standards or do you want it to integrate to an invoicing system that works for your country, that will cost. The bandwith, that will cost. Offsite Backups, backup system, redundant storage...that may cost...if you really really need it. But not more than an extra 50k for a small redundant NAS. Do you want to run a toplevel domain? Hey, that goes for well less than 20k dollars easy with a couple of redundant servers. It will do for hundreds of thousends (probably millions) of domains. With redundant power supplies and a redundant active/passive pair setup (two servers for the primary, two for the secondary). Since it is a Debian list, I will mention only free software, of course.

We've got one in place at $COMPANY1 right now, but the interface sucks and the billing isn't integrated with the provisioning. So version 2.0 will do all that together AND make coffee for us! :)Version 2.0 will be put online at $COMPANY2 and possibly be packaged up and released open source. We have not yet decided. If you come across anything else that looks useful to you, please feel free to let the list know, so we can also check it out. If we release our version publicly, I'll be sure to let people know via this list (as it'll be packaged in .deb format only - at least by us - someone else can make RPM's :) HTH j -- == + It's simply not | John Keimel+ + RFC1149 compliant!| [EMAIL PROTECTED]+ + | http://www.keimel.com + ==
Re: bind9 vs tinydns vs others
Bind 9 is a total revamp of Bind 8. Bind8 had a bunch of security holes in it, so tinyDNS and the others came about. Bind9 was a rewrite from scratch with security as a goal. Bind9 is good for all types of general DNS stuff. Tiny-DNS is probably good for some applications, however you are going to find more documentation on Bind than anything else. http://www.nominum.com/getOpenSourceResource.php?id=6 On 02/12/03 16:46 +0100, David Zejda wrote: what do you prefer for authoritative dns? experiences/stability...? i have no verbose bind knowledge yet. thanks David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

All under Woody and one FreeBSD box. We have used Bind9 also and both have advantages. I like djbdns for the ease of editing which is personal taste. Bind9 has more available for GUI front-ends and hooks with other applications. So usually I recommend people start with Bind so as to prove the saying, 'Only the experienced walk with a limp.' That said, you may very well be happy with either as they both power the Net. Dee -- Alaska Wireless Systems http://www.akwireless.net -=- Take Control of Your E-Mail!

For an authoritative only server there is nsd. It's only available in unstable but it should be easy enough to backport. I've only used it on my home network so far but I do plan to eventually use it in my hosting business, I rather like the idea of diversity (bind being the defacto standard for dns it is subject to much more attacks). -- Fraser Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux

Re: Software for a NIC (Network Information Center)
I think, the full Hardware/Software can not exceed 150k US$, better less. (the cost does not inlude the Online-UPS) I think the largest cost wont be in actual software infrastructure but in value added infrastructure. Do you want people to buy the domains online, that will cost. Do you want them to be able to receive e-invoices according to some standards or do you want it to integrate to an invoicing system that works for your country, that will cost. The bandwith, that will cost. Offsite Backups, backup system, redundant storage...that may cost...if you really really need it. But not more than an extra 50k for a small redundant NAS. Do you want to run a toplevel domain? Hey, that goes for well less than 20k dollars easy with a couple of redundant servers. It will do for hundreds of thousends (probably millions) of domains. With redundant power supplies and a redundant active/passive pair setup (two servers for the primary, two for the secondary). Since it is a Debian list, I will mention only free software, of course. Naturally! I say, pocket the rest of the 150k and send some this way! LEX Step One Group www.sogrp.com
