Grex System Problems - Summer 2004
| 
Jun 22 02:27 UTC 2004 |
This item is for system problems. If something on Grex isn't working
right (line noise on a modem, weird behavior from a program, etc.),
this is the place to announce it. Except for security holes. If you
find a hole in system security, mail information about it to "staff".

For the first time in quite a while, grex crashed today (not just
another DSL glitch). Many thanks to kip, who's savvy work got us
going again, and to all the other staffers who helped out.

Thank you, kip and others. It was a gorgeous day and I bet
you all had better things to do.

The last couple days or so I have noticed that almost all of to-grex e-mail
for a couple accounts is no longer being forwarded to a 3rd party site, as
it has been fine for a long time. I just sent the following test message (the
names have been changed to protect the innocent):
____________________
From account1 Thu Jul 1 14:04:28 2004
Received: (from pcb@localhost) by grex.cyberspace.org (8.6.13/8.6.12) id
XXXXXXX
1; Thu, 1 Jul 2004 14:04:24 -0400
Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2004 14:04:24 -0400
From: Account One <account1@cyberspace.org>
Message-Id: <200407011804.XXXXXXXX@grex.cyberspace.org>
To: account3@3rdparty.com
Subject: direct to 3rdparty from grex
Cc: account2@cyberspace.org
Status: R
Also gonna Cc another grex with forwarding to 3rdparty
____________________
Note that the Cc used only "account2", no domain info. At 3rdparty the Cc
showed "account2@grex.cyberspace.org".
The message direct from account1@grex was received immediately at
account3@3rdparty. The Cc was delivered to account2@grex. But the Cc was not
also forwarded from account2@grex to account3@3rdparty as it has been in the
past. Has something changed in the grex e-mail environment? Note that even
if something had changed with 3rdparty's SPAM filters, that wouldn't account
for the test message direct from account1 being let through but the forward
from account2 not.

Well, since you've changed the names, I can't really check the mail logs.
If you would like the logs checked, drop a line to staff@cyberspace.
A couple of guesses: since both copies were destined for the same mailbox
at 3rdparty, sendmail condensed them into one copy during the SMTP
transaction. That is, something like:
mail from: account1@cyberspace.org
rcpt to: account3@3rdparty
or
mail from: account1@cyberspace.org
rcpt to: account3@3rdparty
rcpt to: account3@3rdparty
Either way, only one copy would end up in the account3 mailbox.
The address in the cc: field has to be complete when the mail goes off-box;
sendmail usually does this using a 'host' macro. I don't see that macro
in the sendmail.cf on grex, but I may just be overlooking it.

Today it seems that all the non-SPAM mail *did* get through, and all the SPAM
got blocked. So I'm concluding that grex *is* forwarding as ever, and that
my 3rdparty has some really good SPAM filtering (wishing grex had the same).
:-)

Anyone else noticing a bit of network flakiness getting to grex recently?
I'm wondering if it might benefit from a pre-emptive kick in the DSL.

The DSL problems appear to be back today, judging from party participation.

Okay, i just power cycled the DSL box; looks like we were off the internet
about 90 seconds. Does the flakeyness seem to have been cured?

IWLTA that, in their Great Wisdom, Her Majesty's Government are axeing 40?,000
civil service jobs, mostly from the Department of Work and Pensions.
That's the Department that deals with the unemployed.

Is that forty thousand, or four hundred thousand?

It's "forty thousand (i think)"
Anyway, since that announcement (made in the middle of a speech) it's
increased to eighty-odd thousand.

Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude,
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
Who owe their large pensions to Wehrnher von Braun.

There once was this thing called the V-2
To pilot which you did not need to
You just pushed a button
It didn't leave nuttin'
But stiffs and big holes and debris too
