Re: What is GreyListing (was: Re: Christian Hammers...)

I use the backport from backports.org for the policy server on a couple of machines, not for the greylisting, but to check the status of domain controllers that provide username services via winbind (samba 3 version, also from backports)... (winbind returns user not found when the domain is down,

To kind of get back to the ISP world a little bit, has anyone used this in the way that's being recommended? (Using the OS Fingerprint Netfilter patch to block Windows machines sending to port 25). We're currently getting slammed by Windows viruses and have thought about doing exactly that, but

As I'm sure most people in here are, we're getting lots of bounces of worm messages our users didn't send. Can't be helped, really, but unfortunately, we've been getting quite a few from people using qmail (misconfigured, i assume) which bounces the entire message back, and doesn't do any sort of

Fetchmail will do pretty much everything you're saying out of the box, although you'll need to make a .fetchmailrc for it which in a config file that looks alot like a script language sometimes. The docs/examples are pretty straightforward. I just used it for a customer transitioning from

Same thing happened to me. Check your c-client.cf file again, in our case the newer version of the package overwrote the old c-client.cf file. The current /etc/c-client.cf (which works for us) is: I accept the risk set disable-plaintext 0 There's a reason they call it unstable I guess. I'm

It's been packported and listed in the archives at www.backports.org (4.0.13, anyway). I've read so many howto's about pinning and backporting, blah blah blah but it always seems to burn me (I obviously am not smart enough to do it right). The packages on backports.org seem really good. I've

I just did something similar for one of our customers. I used mailman to create a mailing list, and added all the employees. I'm sure there's a way to do it without mailman, but I reckon if you're going to send something to everyone there ought to be a decent archive for it somewhere. What I

What I did about it was edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove the php4 from the conflicts field (there is no conflict according to the thread), and then held the package (otherwise it gets downloaded again on the next update). Just have to remember to let it go when the next release gets out.

Hi, this is not particularly a debian related question but this is the most knowledgable list that I track, and I hope someone here might have a miracle answer that we can't think of. I take care of an email system for a high school in the Kingdom of tonga. They're on a 32K link. Recently, some
