Re: [WISPA] Mail server setup
Currently our hosting package does everything. It's currently on a server off-network, but I'm looking to move it onto the network. I really support the virtualization. Far too many people don't understand the ease\importance of doing this. I had a P3 - 800 that had about a dozen virtual hosts on it. I assembled a 64 bit AMD system with 6x the RAM and moving the virtual hosts over was easy as pie vs. having to redo everything. I spent maybe a half hour moving everything over and it was my first time. I am looking at modusMail when I really get into the swing of things, but for now will just be sticking with the mail capabilities of my InterWorx hosting package. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Ugo Bellavance [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wireless@wispa.org Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 3:44 PM Subject: [WISPA] Mail server setup Hi, I will probably have to design an e-mail (and other components) infrastructure for a small ISP soon (WISP). I'm doing some research to determine which components would be best to offer e-mail services to their client and allow the staff to manage accounts easily. I usually use virtual machines a lot for isolation and easy backups and migration (when a hardware node is underpowered, it is easy to migrate one or more virtual machines to another hardware node easily). I have looked at iSCSI and drbd for high-availability of the storage: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/realworld/82284/san-on-the-cheap/page1.html. This looks like it should be doing a great job of high availability storage. For mail server, I guess I should look at an MTA and IMAP/POP server that supports LDAP and/or MySQL for users. Postfix should be a good choice for MTA, as I know it (at least a little, but I know sendmail better). For IMAP/POP, I'm not sure... Would dovecot be sufficient, or should I try cyrus. I'd rather use components that are available for base or extras repository (or rpmforge). I think that squirrelmail and horde would do a good job for webmail. There shoudn't be any troubles having some redundancy for DNS, web servers, mtas, but what about IMAP/POP? linux-HA? MySQL replication should be enough, I guess. Or maybe linux-HA as well. I wonder if I should add GFS to the mix to have multiple IMAP/POP servers use the same storage. Or maybe IMAP proxies? Any insights welcome :) . Ugo WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Akamai
Thanks Travis. I was hoping that Akamai would make somethings go faster being at my pop rather than across the net. Glad Windows updates are there. Any idea what else is there that is a possible bandwidth saver or performance enhancer. We used to have Akamai Servers and a caching server back in the T-1 Dial up days, but when we went to managed modems and fiber for our connectivity, we cancelled the Akamai servers and shut down the cache. Now with video's being so popular, I'm looking at Akamai again. I just don't know what content is stored on their servers. Would be nice if cnn, fox, nbc, abc, etc were all working with Akamai. Wuld also be nice if there was other companies like Akamai to check out.

Contractually and Guaranteeing that one does not interfere with other Colocators, is a big problem now that 5.3G forces DFS. Also note that some Equipment manufacturers do not distinguish the difference between support for 5.3 versus 5.4. Meaning 5.3 and 5.4 are included in the same hoppable channels for a link. The problem is that for Radar detection, the radios only need to hop if a very loud signal is heard, but the radio could be forced to hop to a channel that interferes with another colocater, and not realize its hurting it because interference is not always symetical. Meaning because it doesn;t interfer with you, doesn't mean you don;t interfere with it. DFS is a very unneighborly protocol, that just cares about itself (the radio) and the DOD (Radar). DFS features a Radio should support are, distinguishing whether hopping to 5.3 versus 5.4 is allowed or jsut one or the other, and exclusing certain channels from being hoppable channel candidates, and setting preferred channels for hopping to.

Are there any channels in the 5.3 section that is not affected by radar? We have some towers that have multiple radios with channel plans that incorporate all 5ghz spectrum from ap's to backhaul links. To loose the 5.3 to radar dramatically affects our network because now I have to figure out how I'm going to fit all the radios in 5.8ghz. Has this hindered anyone else and to what extent? Any ideas to squeeze in radios on 5.8. I heard 5.4 will be available, is his so and when? RC WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] MikroTik HotSpot and PPPoE
Is it possible to setup a MikroTik router to be a HotSpot but allow PPPoE traffic to pass through transparently? I have a centralized PPPoE server and need the HotSpot to allow all PPPoE traffic to bridge to it. I have been trying to get this to work for several days now with no luck.
