Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Microsoft Open License

2006-03-15 Thread Darin Cox



Hmmm? Why not? If it is a legal license (i.e. 
no restrictions on licensing transfer from the manufacturer), then this 
generally just voids any warrantees or support contracts. If the software 
works and you can support it yourself then again, why not?

The same applies to hardware. We've purchased 
quite a bit of used servers and network hardware, all same models for 
interchangeability, andhave an inventory of spare equipment/parts for 
emergencies, etc. We know the equipment well so support is not 
needed. That has been significantly cheaper for us than purchasing new 
equipment for equivalent performance.

Remember, support contracts are effectively an 
insurance policy. If you're risk is negligible (due to expertise, 
redundancy, spares, etc.), then grey market can work just fine. For server 
hardware and some network hardware, BIOS and driver updates are generally freely 
available. For the OS, patches and updates are also 
available.

There's nothing unprofessional about managing your 
risk equivalently/differently. Not addressing and managing your risk in 
accordance with your TOS... that would be unprofessional.

A professional

Robert,I think that did a good amount of 
research and I do in fact have my facts straight. It appears rather that 
you just simply didn't read my message fully.At this moment, SPLA isn't 
a good deal for me, though I recognize that in some situations it can 
be.I like to buy full retail versions of Windows in the gray market of 
eBay, and when you compare gray market prices to SPLA, the gray market compares 
much more favorably when you are buying for yourself. I also have been 
basing all of my servers on dual processor systems as a way to maximize the 
value of the software running on them, and the terms for dual-processor licenses 
under SPLA is not competitive whatsoever for servers. In my original 
reply, I linked to a pricing sheet that is freely available from the public 
website of one of Microsoft's two main suppliers of SPLA licenses, so I am in 
fact aware of the prices.As I said before, this is something like the 
third iteration of a pay-as-you-go licensing scheme by Microsoft in just 5 
years. In fact, up until last year you also had to be a MCP and join the 
Microsoft Partner Program at $1,500/year. For a small hosting provider, 
adding that cost overhead and time to one or a few licenses makes it cost 
prohibitive. While they did change this, they only did so recently, and 
parts of their site are still out of date with the changes. The frequency 
of changes and their admission on their own site that they screwed up badly in 
the past by having confusing terms and uncompetitive pricing doesn't make me 
feel at ease with this. I also don't like grossly uncompetitive markets 
such as limited availability and a requirement for membership in three different 
Microsoft programs. By limiting access to primarily two resellers of SPLA 
licenses, they have also created an anti-competitive market. I also don't 
work for Microsoft, and I don't wish to be reporting back to them or their 
partners on a monthly basis for the type of operations that I currently 
have.Microsoft didn't create SPLA to lose money. Part of this was 
due to competitive pressures from the low overhead of a rapid Linux build-out in 
bulk hosting, but another part of it was clearly to establish a method of 
charging based on the success of their customers (per-processor licensing) 
instead of being based on the software's capabilities itself, and to force more 
rapid adoption of their latest technologies by removing the asset of purchased 
software and lowering the overhead to upgrading. Unfortunately for 
Microsoft, Windows 2000 still works great as a Web server 6 years after it's 
release. If Microsoft wanted to stay competitive in all senses, they would 
have made SPLA completely optional as far as their EULA goes, but they 
purposefully change it. This change was anti-consumer. I don't like 
anti-consumer changes.I'm considering SPLA for possibly doing some 
managed server co-location because I recognize the high upfront costs and 
competitive pressures where some expect their colo to provide such things in one 
package. I agree that SPLA makes perfect sense for single processor 
servers leased in bulk to customers. For my own servers however, I already 
own licenses for everything and I would definitely be paying substantially more 
with SPLA over the

Smartermail probably is being more patient and has a longer DNS timing out
period than declude. You should really run a cache only DNS directly on your

I quite possibly is the issue. It has to do with response times.

 That may speed up resolution, but that's not my issue.  The question is
why does
 SmarterMail catch the spam using the same ip4r tests?  It is the same
message, and
 the tests are being perfomed on the same eml file within a few seconds of
each other.
 Why does Declude fail and SM succeed?

 Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] ip4r failure

 I've been having this problem with Declude going back to August
and my
installation
 of 2.0.6.  I'm currently running 3.0.6.4 with SmarterMail 2.6.  It
  seems
that
 irregularly Declude's ip4r tests time out, but SmarterMail
redundantly
running the
 same tests has no trouble picking up the spam.  I have SM and
Declude
  both
testing
 SPAMCOP, DSBL, CBL, Spamhaus SBL, and Basura.  What will happen is
a
  spam
will
 get through Declude, but get caught by SM using the same tests.
For
example,
 following is from the header of a recent message:

 X-RBL-Warning: NOLEGITCONTENT: No content unique to legitimate
E-mail
detected.
 X-RBL-Warning: IPNOTINMX:
 X-RBL-Warning: DYNHELO: Dynamic HELO found.
 X-Declude-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [69.205.200.200]
 X-Declude-Spoolname: 45172055.eml
 X-Declude-Note: Scanned by Declude 3.0.6.4
(http://www.declude.com/x-note.htm)
 for spam.
 X-Declude-Scan: Score [7] at 21:24:19 on 14 Mar 2006
 X-Declude-Tests: NOLEGITCONTENT, IPNOTINMX, DYNHELO
 X-Country-Chain: UNITED STATES-destination
 X-SmarterMail-Spam: BAYESIAN FILTERING, CBL, SPAMCOP

 I went over this several times with Declude support, and the best
they
were able to
 come up with is for me to add WINSOCKCLEANUP ON to my
declude.cfg,
  which
 changed nothing.  Using the DNS statement in the global.cfg also
  produced
no effect.

 Maybe now that Declude and SmarterTools have such a close
  relationship,
Declude
 can ask SmarterTools how their ip4r tests work.  Especially since
  Declude
is supposed
 to be using the DNS server information as set within SmarterMail.

 Has anyone else experienced this problem?  I'm sure the next thing
I
  will
hear is that
 this problem will go away if I upgrade to SM 3.0 and Declude 4.0.

 TIA,

 Gary

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] ip4r failure

2006-03-15 Thread Darrell \([EMAIL PROTECTED])
From a past problem I worked on we had very poor results with DNS blacklists 
on a mail server that I maintained.  The customer I was working for was 
using a providers DNS server that was slow.  We were able to determine that 
the first query always (well 99% of the time) timed out while a subsequent 
follow-up query was always resolved the record with no issue.  We did some 
testing with the provider and determined that what was happening was that 
the providers dns servers were really busy and just plainly could not serve 
the queries fast enough.  The second query was served before the timeout 
since it was cached. 

Installing a caching server on the mail server fixed the issue.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] ip4r failure

2006-03-15 Thread Matt




Gary,

Let me confuse things a bit more here. I would recommend not using
Windows DNS as your caching server if you are using Windows 2003. It
enables something called EDNS0 by default and some servers won't
resolve lookups and this will cause some resolution based tests to not
operate and some E-mail to bounce as undeliverable. You can disable
ENDS0 using the directions from Microsoft's site, however unfortunately
there is a bug that causes EDNS0 to re-enable itself on every reboot of
your server and I have not figured out how to stop that from happening
except to reapply the workaround after every reboot. You would be best
served by purchasing Simple DNS (http://www.simpledns.com/) which
doesn't have this issue, or having a Linux based DNS server of your
own. No matter what, it is a bad idea to use someone else's DNS server
for RBL lookups.

Matt

2006-03-15 Thread Matt
enableednsprobes is set to 0 in my registries.  I believe that the 
dnscmd /config /enableednsprobes 0 command is what sets this.  For 
some reason though, when I reboot any of my servers, it stops resolving 
hosts that have issues with ENDS0 packets until I run that command again 
and restart the service.  The registry setting does not change.


I have not tested whether just simply restarting the DNS service will 
cause this to be picked up, or whether it causes it to be dropped.  I 
only verified that this was the case on a reboot...any reboot.  All 
three of my servers with Windows DNS running experience the same 
issues.  Note that I don't run AD on any of these boxes.

Matt,
Is this true even if you manually set the reg key versus doing it with

Gary,
Let me confuse things a bit more here.  I would recommend not using 
Windows DNS as your caching server if you are using Windows 2003.  It 
enables something called EDNS0 by default and some servers won't 
resolve lookups and this will cause some resolution based tests to 
not operate and some E-mail to bounce as undeliverable.  You can 
disable ENDS0 using the directions from Microsoft's site, however 
unfortunately there is a bug that causes EDNS0 to re-enable itself on 
every reboot of your server and I have not figured out how to stop 
that from happening except to reapply the workaround after every 
reboot.  You would be best served by purchasing Simple DNS 
(http://www.simpledns.com/) which doesn't have this issue, or having 
a Linux based DNS server of your own.  No matter what, it is a bad 
idea to use someone else's DNS server for RBL lookups.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] ip4r failure

2006-03-15 Thread Rick Baranowski
I guess I am missing what the local DNS really has to do with the ip4r
tests. 

The way I understand the ip4r filter is that Declude does a DSN lookup at
lets say SPAMCOP at bl.spamcop.net for a response. It is waiting for a
response from SPAMCOP not the configured local DNS server. If the SPAMCOP
keeps changing their ip address or it is doing a round robin then yes I
could see how it could miss one or two but once it is cached locally it
should be ok for a while.

At that point SM may be waiting longer then Declude for a response which
would be why it is failing Declude. 

If am wrong please correct me.

Thanks

Rick

No, Declude nor the OS nor your workstation nor etc go out to the internet
to fetch the information. They use the DNS server that they are configured
for. That DNS server is responsible for responding to the requesting app
with the information or a time out or does not exist. That DNS server is
what does the searching on the Internet according to protocol.
