This is being resolved here at Inter.net. However, the said mail servers will reject mail from OTHER places since there are many other ISP's and networks that do NOT have reverse DNS! I suggest that the mail server operators remove that restriction since it serves no practical purpose. > 4. lastly, i agree, having plug's own co-located all-purpose server would be > cool. maybe we could put up a zope based plug site, and then let everyone post > articles and stuff, have it host a more handsome faq engine, have > automatically updated mirrors of our favorite distros, run a jabber/irc > server, have our own @linux.org.ph addresses, etc. > > oh, i know! maybe we could ask ibm for a donation? > and i hope boss migz' offer for a co-location space still stands =) It still stands. I do suggest to get other offers then let PLUG decide who the best hope for the PLUG server will be. Since I work for the ISP I'll abstain from the decision. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
