Consider that several distributions are RPM based, all having different placement of the specific files. A Mandrake package (.mdk) will be at least 50% different from RedHat, as will one built using rpmbuild for a different distro. Including *every* possible permutation of where these possibilities could be is not logical to include with an rpm package, thus it leaves it up to the system to track where it scatters the associated files in the rpm database. Thus a package that's say 100k in size would at least double in size just to add all the extra database info that is taken care of automatically at install time.

How do Comcast ip's become a source of spam? How | would a Comcast sysadmin go about rectifying the situation? They would start by regaining control over their network. First place would be locking their mail servers down to only relay mail from their own netblocks, and using smtpauth to validate the user. They should restrict any smtp connections from their netblocks to only their own servers. This would eliminate someone at blah.dsl.comcast.net from being able to use someone else's smtp server. Actively monitoring the systems on their network for abusive usage, intentional or not, and shutting down the ip and account of those who intentionally are in a timely manner. If J. Blow has an open relay, proxy server, or anything else that's getting them blacklisted, contact the customer and help them fix it, rather than ignoring the problem and making a few abusive users' problems every subscriber's problem. If they provide business class service to people who want to run their own servers, fine. I'd want that as a customer. But I'd also make sure that DNS records point to the proper authority for the domain, so if the customer puts a broken system out in the public domain, that it's that domain that suffers, not comcast. There should be a lot of continual interaction between comcast and the dnsbl providers to make sure that they're considered clean and proactive when anything they're authoritative for is reported. | I've been an ATT/COMCAST subscriber for about 5 years now, and they | certainly provide a reliable broadband offering.

Re: SPAM factoid...
to note that my Reporting-MTA FQDN mail.jasoncoombs.com does NOT have an A record or a PTR or any other DNS records associated with it. This doesn't bother AOL's SMTP proxy farm, and it likewise did not bother a single SMTP server that relayed or received my e-mail during this test. My conclusion is that blackhole servers and filtering are a terrible way to deal with the problem of SPAM. Few people actually benefit from these techniques. They introduce unnecessary deterministic failure rather than unnecessary nondeterministic failure therefore they offer their own helpful work-around instructions. By informing the sender that their e-mail did not go through, they automatically (oracle-like) produce a comprehensive list of target domains that are protected by blackhole services -- a list that any spammer would use to relay SPAM from a different point of presence. Blackhole-enabled services should switch to a non-deterministic failure mode that silently kills e-mail delivery. This would have a far greater effect, and it would prevent spammers from easily discovering the extent to which their SPAM is being automatically discarded systematically. It does not appear to be a *good thing* for Non-Delivery Reports (NDR) to be generated by blackhole-protected SMTP servers because it turns them into blackhole oracles. And the oracle says very few people use blackhole services. Filtering/blocking is a superior solution, and it's very interesting to note that AOL is getting filtered/blocked in its entirety by many SMTP servers. This causes only minor problems in the real world because NDR are reliably generated by AOL SMTP servers and delivered reliably via the AOL mail network to the AOL subscriber who attempted mail delivery to a filtered/blocked node. Anyone worth communicating with offers a Web site or published telephone number that can easily be discovered by senders who find themselves blocked, and the net impact is short-term DoS that reroutes communication to more reliable failover routes. ISPs who offer SMTP relay services for end-users need to disclose a comprehensive list of domains to which subscribers cannot send e-mail because of blocking/filtering or blackhole lists. ISPs who offer SMTP servers for domain-holders to receive inbound e-mail should disclose their blocking/filtering rules that they implement. Either SMTP-based e-mail service is understood to be extremely unreliable over the public Internet, or it is a part of the network's critical infrastructure and as such should be operated without filtering or blocking of any kind. There are other ways to solve the problem of SPAM than to rely on existing flawed technical methods. If we are going to continue to implement flawed technical methods, then we need to implement them in nondeterministic failure mode so it becomes perfectly clear that NOBODY can be certain that their e-mail has been delivered successfully unless they request and receive a return receipt or human-originated ACK.

More and more people and companies will flatly refuse any mail from entire netblocks or domains which will cripple the ability of legitimate users to communicate with the rest of the world. The key is to inform those people of the exact reasoning why their ISP is bad and encourage them to use someone legitimate. If the ISP has no customers because they're blacklisted, the problem will become theirs, instead of ours. Personally, I encourage the use of blacklists, provided they're responsible, act quickly, and provide unbiased services that allow a problem to be fixed and remove the offender as quickly as they list them.

Re: OTimap
Jack Berger wrote: I'm painfully aware of the fact that I don't know all that I don't know about imap (among other things). Anyway, the problem is that since we moved our mail server from solaris/sendmail to msexchange, I don't see all of the mail in my inbox from an imap client. Using mslookout I can see all messages (one would hope anyway), but using either netscape or pine there are always a few missing in action. As far as I know I don't do anything different from one time to the next, and there are no special permissions on my inbox or any folders. I keep all folders on the server along with the inbox. Moving a message from the inbox to a folder doesn't make it visible to the client if it is initially not seen by the client. Weird. Have you synched your folders recently? In Netscape it's under File-OfflineDownload/Sync Now. The folders have to be selected for offline usage. (Click Select from the above menu, and put a check mark beside the ones to include) Any clues to what is going on? Looking on the UW imap site and a few others devoted to imap gives no clue of this ever happening to anyone else. Also, realizing that imap is server based, is there anyway to truley manage mail on the server, say to delete or move a message via a client so that it is really deleted or moved on the server? If I move a message or delete it, any imap client sees that result, but if I then log on to the server via mslookout, none of the changes are there. Everything is still in the inbox folder. This obviously is a design feature of imap, but it would be good to be able to manage folders on the server for real instead of the virtual reality of the imap client. Server based message management is IMAP's primary feature. When you move a message from Inbox to Personal, or another folder, that *should* be seen by another session once it's synched. e.g. move the message while at work and when connecting from home, the message is filed in the same place you put it from work, thus everything's identical, and messages don't have to be left on the server for another pop3 client to be able to access. My suspicion is that there's an issue with either the Exchange server, or the Outlook client, or maybe both, but I can't offer any suggestions in regards to either of them. But I'd try to sync the mailboxes first. Thanks, -jhb- PS - I'll accept condolences, but no criticism, for the move to msexchange. I had no part in the decision. In fact I successfully beat it down for a number of years until we were the losing party in a corporate merger. It has been a real pita (in more ways than one). I'm sure you did your best.
