john, Heh-heh! When SpiritOne changed their software recently they mis-configured my mail address to point to their servers instead of mine. That screwed up my mail for a while and resulted in 5G spam in the @aracnet.com mail box that I've never used. You'd think that for as long as I've been with them they'd know I run postfix here. Here's the message they sent to me: >From [email protected] Fri Jan 6 10:35:35 2012 Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2012 10:35:04 -0800 Hello, Due to recent changes in Frontier's network, we find it necessary to change the way our Frontier DSL connections are configured, which will also change how your DSL modems are configured. Within the next two weeks, the way DSL modems are configured to use SpiritOne's service will change. We will be emailing configuration instructions on making these changes on supported modems shortly, and will be available by phone to provide assistance on making these changes. Alternately, you can bring the modem by our office and we can configure it for you (please phone first to be sure somebody will be available to do so). Unfortunately, with these changes, we are no longer to offer static IP addresses for DSL, nor can we offer multiple IP addresses on the same DSL circuit. SpiritOne offers a variety of hosting services, co-location, and virtual private servers that can be used to replace the static IP addresses we can no longer provide over Frontier DSL. If these services interest you, please contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible and we'll assist in putting together the most cost-effective and appropriate solution. Further information (including the exact date of the change) will be included in a later email. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
