SpamAssassin and country-specific blocking
Hello, I just installed the latest SpamAssassin port and noticed it had country-specific spam filtering as well as spf and ssl support. Does anyone have a howto on getting all this going with an mta in a production environment? I'm not looking for anything like a manual, but practical experiences. Thanks.

Re: Removing BOM from UTF-8
Hi, Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] words on 18.02.2006 - 16:57 (-0500 Zulu-Time): Benjamin A'Lee wrote: It shouldn't be writing any new files; it prints the filtered text to stdout. Ben OK, then that is the problem. I need it to actually write the file. It could either rename the old file and then rewrite it which would be nice, or just over write the old file. The BOM is just the first three characters in the file. I am assuming that it would not be removing anything else in the file. use a for-loop in your shell: # bash # cd to/your/directory # for i in *; do # nobom.sh $i $i.new # done this will take all your files in your directory and proceed each one it with nobom.sh, which then will write it to new file. Be sure that your perlscript points to your perl installation on your system. You can use 'which perl' to get the location of your perl installation. Cheers Erik -- J.

incorrect superblock error when mounting partition
Hello, I've got a 10 gb ide drive that has critical data on one of it's partitions /dev/ad1e. This drive was originally gmirrored in another box it worked fine, it was the master drive. Now i've installed this drive as a slave in another 6.0 box, and now it shows up as ad1 with the partition i want being ad1e. I did a mount -o ro /dev/ad1e /mnt and i'm getting an error Incorrect superblock from mount. I then tried fsck /dev/ad1e and got the same error msg. These partitions were formatted with ufs2 as their filesystem. I then ran bsdlabel ad1 and got a printout of my label, this showed up which gives me hope that this data can be retrieved. An error i'm getting says that the c: partition does not cover the entire disk and that may result in utilities not working. Any help appreciated. Some urgency! Thanks.

Re: SpamAssassin and country-specific blocking
From: Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I just installed the latest SpamAssassin port and noticed it had country-specific spam filtering as well as spf and ssl support. Does anyone have a howto on getting all this going with an mta in a production environment? I'm not looking for anything like a manual, but practical experiences. Thanks. Dave. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] That list is quite handy for solving SPF problems if you have any. (It should work outa the box.) It can also help you setup the trusted_network concept. It's not quite what you might think it is. It simply means that this network is one I trust not to falsify header information. Usually SA can figure this out for itself. But if you see ALL_TRUSTED as a spam rule that got listed for all or most messages then it needs to be setup. The ssl support is something I've not looked at. (I am still running a tweaked 3.04 brought up to 3.05 for bug fixes. I have some special debugging crammed into my spamassassin install.) Interesting places to look for ideas is the /usr/share/spamassassin (in Linux speak - my install's on linux for now) for the common rules. You can search for score for scores and look at the rules to get some idea of what's going on with them. The users's list, though, is generally the best help.

3Ware Escalade Issues
Hi all, I've been experiencing some problems with my 3ware Escalade 6000 array lately that has been causing spontaneous reboots of the system. There appears to be a bad sector on one of the drives according to smartctl, but nothing serious. However, every time the system tried to write to that sector in the array, the system would freeze, and then reboot, and of course it would say the file system isn't clean, etc... Since the file system is 1 TB in size, it would take 8+ hours to FSCK it. The array is only striped, and not mirrored or built with redunancy. I'm basically using the card/driver to make one large volume for a web server. I have a few questions: 1) Is this a known bug? I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 (for software compatibility issues at the moment, I will upgrade at some point in the future) 2) How can I trap the errors and eliminate the re-boot issue? 3) Is there some way I can do a faster FSCK, or perhaps 'fool' the system into thinking the file system is clean? 4) Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Shut down the system. Replace the failing hard drive. Use dd to make an exact copy onto the new drive on some other system. and put the new drive back into the array. Note that the replacement drive must be an exact match for this to work, otherwise you will have to backup your data and rebuild the array. Speaking of which, do you have known-good backups available? 3) Is there some way I can do a faster FSCK, or perhaps 'fool' the system into thinking the file system is clean? If you update to 5.x or later, you can use background FSCK rather than having to wait for the FSCK to complete the way it does under 4.x. 4) Any suggestions on how to fix this? Also, if you update to 5.x, you can run the smartmon tools, which will let you do a drive self-test using SMART, this will give much better information about what is going on with the drive, and also give an estimate of its remaining lifespan.

If you already have this flag enabled in make.conf the two ports are effectively identical. In general, such slave ports only appear because of the inflexibilities of the ports system.

The question I have is should I just setup a cashing DNS on another server using the primary as a forwarder or even several servers eg the mail server and the secondary LDAP server, or should I setup a proper secondary DNS using my ISP as a forwarder with dynamic updates from the primary.

The secondary will share some load without taking up extra bandwidth. In case the primary is not stable enough, or if you really need to scale by 2 (i.e. share the load evenly between the servers), you'll have to use the ISP's dns servers as forwarders instead. This will cut the efficiency of your DNS cache by two.

RE: Sendmail - IMAP-UW - Cyrus-SASL2 - SMTPAUTH problems
First, thank you for your reply. Second, I have figured out the problem of not being able to delete IMAP folders in Thunderbird. Apparently this is a client-side issue, not a server one. The answer is to unsubscribe the trash folder in Thunderbird. After unsubscribing, it still appears and operates normally, and you are then able to delete folders. I found the answer in forums regarding older versions of Mozilla Mail, which is why nothing turned up on a search for Thunderbird. Not sure of the exact cause, or if this indeed a bug or just something I missed in the documentation, but it works now. From: Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Greg Groth [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Sendmail - IMAP-UW - Cyrus-SASL2 - SMTPAUTH problems Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 04:11:15 -0800 Hi Greg, It is true there's a lot of software available but I have found over the years that a lot of the packages are good, and will work equally well on the back end. Most of the older ones have matured to the point that a rather common selection criteria is I chose that because that's what all my friends are running You really won't know what works the best unless you try all of the packages, and nobody has the time for that. So what you have to do is just pick one based on whatever sketchy research you turn up and spend some time on it, after a few months you will know if it's going to work for you or not. Most times it will work OK for you so your choice becomes one of which is better: knowing a few packages well, or a lot of packages not very well. A hobbiest/amateur is better off knowing a lot of packages not very well, because their fun is in trying out new things and learning how different things are done. But a manager of a production system is in the other boat, they need to know a few packages very, very well. You need to be aware of which kind of person your taking advice from. IMHO RedHat isn't much good unless you go the full meal deal and buy a support contract from RedHat. If you are upgrading from old 7/9 RH and you want to keep the RH universe, and you don't want to buy into support, then go to CentOS. RedHat was becoming a pain to deal with. It seemed to me, and this is just my opinion and worth the paper this email is printed on, that a lot of the software had been tweaked to where common solutions to common problems didn't work, and solutions had to be found for the specific version of RedHat I was using. Not that there's anything morally wrong with RedHat doing this, I just found it a pain when looking for answers to problems. Frankly I feel that one of the big problems with Linux right now is they are missing the boat on SATA RAID big time, and I mean really, really big time. Most server-quality motherboards these days come with RAID0/1 SATA chipsets, and disk drives are so cheap now that even people putting together little crummy servers are going mirrored SATA disks. But Linux has ignored this, claiming it's the responsibility of the manufacturers to write drivers, and most of them haven't. The Linux people all seem to think it's perfectly OK to go buy an Intel motherboard with onboard ICH7R RAID and disable that and drop $200 into a 3ware RAID card and plug that into the motherboard if you have the nerve to run RAID on anything other than a Real SCSI RAID array. Fine, let them delude themselves, it just puts Linux further and further away from the server arena. Most Linux distros have terrible or nonexistent support for Promise RAID cards as well, once again, really short-sighted. I don't know much on this subject I'm afraid, but I'm about to get into this because KnoppMyth apparently has issues running a SATA drive as a primary boot device. (Off the subject, but I tried getting MythTV running on RedHat FC4, and ran into too many issues getting it running to continue on that route). Anyway, getting back to your situation. We run SSL imap and pop3, with uw-imap. I recommend this route since it allows people to hit their maibox with both pop3 and imap and not get a lot of funny messages about popping down the placeholder message. uw-imap used to have a problem with really big e-mails years ago, it would swap itself to death building the tempfiles, this was fixed years ago. I did solve my SSL problem by recompiling UW-IMAP and Sendmail without SSL, and installing stunnel. Everything is working the way I want it configured. Hopefully there won't be any scalability issues, but I don't expect any in our tiny environment. We run SMTP AUTH but we don't run SSL SMTP. Why? Because way too many customers out there still run elderly versions of e-mail clients that can't handle SSL SMTP. If I was doing up a mailserver for a corporation I might consider SSL SMTP, but frankly, I think the idea that someone's going to sniff your password is highly overrated. Most people set their e-mail

Re: portupgrade avr-libc error
Kris, /usr/local/share/doc/avr-libc is a good directory. Should the parameter to install be files or directories? Do you think I should pkg_delete avr-libc ? Also, avr-libc was built from ports as part of avr-gcc, not that long ago. The whole install is but a few weeks old.

Re: portupgrade avr-libc error
Issue was resolved. in /etc/make.conf I had added a line NOPORTDOCS=yes to keep from building the docs, which would require Latex, etc. Once I commented out that line, the port upgraded without issue. At least one 87MB file had to be downloaded though! Thanks for your help.

Also No Starch Press publishes a book titled 'Absolute BSD' by Michael Lewis. It is available through the O'Reilly publications site, or from stores like Barnes and Noble. There is also a book called FreeBSD Unleashed, but it may be out of date as it seems only to cover versions up to 4x. None of these cover changes in v6, specifically xfree86 has been replaced by x.org. This might throw you off, it did me but I learned that there doesn't seem to be a significant difference. The only difference I found was the X windows configuration script name, xorgconfig. Hope this helps; JK _ [1]Find just what you're after with the new, more precise MSN Search - try it now!

Re: fresh install, portupgrade fails on xterm
I did a pkg_delete and I think a 'make deinstall clean', then re-did my update process - which worked.

WinSCP mega-slowness
For about a year I have noticed that whenever my Windows boxes talk to my Unix boxes, they communicate at about 1/10 normal speed. I copy lots (300GB) of large files back and forth between machines as I try different OS's, and I always see this. Specifically, if I copy from FreeBSD to FreeBSD, files transfer at 11 megs per second. Between FreeBSD and Linux, at about 8 megs per second. Between FreeBSD and Windows, about 1 megabyte per second. This is on identical hardware. I've told other people about this, and they usually say I must be doing something wrong, but recently a friend of mine upgraded a Windows box to SP2, and now they are getting this same slowness. When I copy from Windows to WIndows (XP or W2k), I get 11 megs per second. My machines are two P4's with gigabit NICs, and I'm using WinSCP and (somtimes) pscp.exe on WIndows to talk to sshd on FreeBSD. It's always a shock when I have to copy my data to WIndows, and it takes 30 hours instead of 3. Does anyone else ever see this slowness when copying files between FreeBSD and Windows? Is Windows maybe capping the transfer speed when it talks to Unix? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
