Dear all,
please note that we expect an outage of the mailing list, as the hard 
disk of the list server is about to die. We need to replace it asap.

Don't forget to check the PSU and the cabling. I have had a couple of
times that especially the PSU was the problem and not the disk itself...
(Which reminds me that I have to get a new PSU for one of my older
boxes...)

According to the whois entry, they are located in Utah, which has 8 hours of 
time difference to Switzerland...

So they'll probably notice it in 1-2 hours... :-)

We dumped this afternoon the current setup, and plan to restore it onto
a new harddisk tomorrow morning. Please expect some more downtime.
Please note that subscription changes from tonight will be lost. We hope
the the broken disk will survive until tomorrow.

Re: [swinog] Cheap tricks with MX records? Load balancing for MX servers

2004-11-29 Thread Matthias Leisi

Matthias Hertzog schrieb:
Alternatively, the way of adding two MX records with the same priority would
be an option too, but i'm not sure if this is enough balanced in the daily
business.
The distribution is pretty good, although the alphabetically first (or 
first in the Zone file) seems to get a slightly higher proportion of all 
traffic.

MXs with highest priority usually gets an over-proportional amount of 
spam, since some spammers choose those MXs for tactical reasons (based 
on the thought that such mailservers are often shared by several users 
(ISP customers!) and have thus less stringent spamfilters.

BTW: Failover is not the goal of this installation, it's really only the
balancing.
You get failover as a plus - if one machine dies, standard compliant 
senders should use any of the other ones.

   The servers targeted by the screensaver have been manually selected
   from various sources, including Spamcop, and verified to be spam
   advertising sites, Lycos claims.

I'd like to know how will they manually choose which spammers they'll go
after?  Personal e-vendetta?  It'll just cause the spammers to use the
zombie networks more and more.  It seems to me to just be an advertising
gimmick, not a solution.

I think it a nice attempt to get the spammer at their root. Ok, it generates
additional traffic, but I think it's worth a try, let's see.

Hi
[x] weapon
(choose which suits you best)?
Suppose I'd be a black hat. I would register a domain and perform 
massive spamming - making sure I'm really getting noticed. Lycos now 
blacklists this domain, targeting their Screensaver-DoS-Zombies to that 
site. I'd just point my A-records to the website I want to take down and 
Lycos does all the hard work of DDoSing that page for me. Thanks, Lycos! 
Great tool!

No need to debug, the website explains it all:
 1. The screensaver sends a request to view a SPAM source site (it's
 only a request, so you won't actually see the page).
  2. The request is then sent to a database solely consisting of web
 webpages that use SPAM to promote their products.
  3. When a large number of screensavers send their requests at the
 same time the SPAM web pages become overloaded and slow. (They're
 not disabled completely.)
What an euphemism for a DDoS-tool. And there is even an OSX-version of 
that screensaver. yay.
