| Deeps | you can use PAE extentions to access anything above 4gb | 11:08 |
| Deeps | however no process will be able to allocate more than 4gb | 11:08 |
| Mal3ko | that involves recompiling kernel? | 11:09 |
| Deeps | i believe PAE options are enabled in the stock kernel | 11:09 |

| AshTray- | Hi guys. I have a little question. After I install and configure postfix, and install for example squirrelmail. Do I have anything else to do ? | 12:44 |
| _ruben | sit back and watch the spam arrive | 12:51 |
| AshTray- | I wasn't talking about that. | 12:53 |
| Chipzz | read the documentation? :> | 13:10 |
| Chipzz | which would have told you you need an imap server like courier or dovecot :P | 13:11 |
| AshTray- | The squirrelmail in the repos is good ? | 13:13 |
| AshTray- | Or do i have to install it manualy from the official website ? | 13:13 |
| AshTray- | ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. | 13:17 |
| AshTray- | I've installed dovecot... | 13:17 |
| zicada | repo one is good | 13:22 |
| AshTray- | Ok. | 13:23 |
| AshTray- | I've made it... i wanted to send a mail. | 13:23 |
| AshTray- | <neardeathexp@yahoo.com>: connect to g.mx.mail.yahoo.com[209.191.118.103]:25: | 13:23 |
| AshTray- | Connection timed out | 13:23 |
| AshTray- | Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender :| | 13:23 |
| zicada | your isp blocks port 25 out i bet | 13:23 |
| zicada | its fairly common lately | 13:23 |
| zicada | means you have to use your ISPs MX | 13:24 |
| AshTray- | Mhzzz.... i think it's from my router... | 13:24 |
| zicada | you using postfix ? | 13:24 |
| zicada | dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 13:25 |
| zicada | and set up your ISPs smtp | 13:25 |
| zicada | so it sends via that, instead of acting as its own smtp | 13:25 |
| zicada | you likely have a login/pass for it | 13:25 |
| zicada | and another port | 13:25 |
| zicada | either ssl or some random number | 13:25 |
| AshTray- | I've send myself an e-mail and it worked... | 13:27 |
| zicada | yea thats internal | 13:27 |
| _ruben | or yahoo blocks your dynamic ip address | 13:27 |
| zicada | they arent sent out | 13:27 |
| zicada | _ruben: it was google | 13:27 |
| zicada | oh wait, yahoo sorry | 13:27 |
| zicada | they dont block on the network level like that i think | 13:28 |
| zicada | easy to find out tho | 13:28 |
| zicada | just try to telnet to an smtp that listens on 25 | 13:28 |
| zicada | $10 says it'll fail | 13:28 |
| AshTray- | telnet blt.ath.cx 25 | 13:29 |
| AshTray- | Do you guys see it ? | 13:29 |
| zicada | nope | 13:29 |
| zicada | try telnet www.alandfaraway.org 25 | 13:29 |
| zicada | if that doesnt work, ISP blocks | 13:30 |
| AshTray- | Trying... | 13:30 |
| AshTray- | And trying... | 13:30 |
| AshTray- | I got to make a phonecall. | 13:31 |
| zicada | just dpkg-recondigure postfix | 13:32 |
| zicada | your isp wont unblock | 13:32 |
| zicada | why run a smtp from a homenetwork anyway | 13:32 |
| zicada | better to use your ISPs box for that | 13:32 |
| AshTray- | I'll ask them. | 13:33 |
| zicada | trust me, they wont | 13:33 |
| zicada | the callcenter youre getting wont even have the tools for that | 13:34 |
| zicada | its blocked on a central office somewhere, by people much higher up | 13:34 |
| zicada | get the portnumber they use tho | 13:34 |
| AshTray- | Nobody is answering... | 13:38 |
| zicada | usually very little action in callcenters on xmas eve | 13:41 |
| zicada | odd | 13:41 |
| AshTray- | If I change the port of SMTP ? | 13:45 |
| AshTray- | From 25 to another ? | 13:45 |
| zicada | AshTray-: yeah | 14:03 |
| zicada | AshTray-: but its easier to just act like an smtp proxy | 14:03 |
| zicada | and just fwd all smtp to your ISPs smtp box | 14:03 |
| zicada | on its port | 14:03 |
| zicada | all you need is pop/imap right ? | 14:03 |
| AshTray- | Yeah | 14:04 |
| zicada | youre not gonna use the box as an smtp from other machines outside your net right ? | 14:04 |
| zicada | so | 14:04 |
| zicada | dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 14:04 |
| zicada | and type in your ISPs smtp, and login/pass/port | 14:04 |
| zicada | and youre golden | 14:04 |
| AshTray- | Except the fact I don't have an e-mail from my ISP :) | 14:05 |
| AshTray- | Can i use gmail? :)) | 14:05 |
| zicada | doesnt matter likely | 14:05 |
| zicada | try telneting to your ISPs smtp box | 14:05 |
| zicada | might not even require auth | 14:05 |
| zicada | since your in their network | 14:05 |
| AshTray- | I don't have a clue how my ISP smtp server is called :| | 14:06 |
| zicada | yeah, you can use google, but they likely dont have an open port outside 25 that isnt ssl | 14:06 |
| zicada | type 'dig MX your-isp-hostname.tld' | 14:07 |
| AshTray- | 220 smtp.rdslink.ro ESMTP | 14:07 |
| zicada | yup | 14:07 |
| AshTray- | RDS is my ISP... | 14:07 |
| zicada | could you access it on port 25 ? | 14:07 |
| zicada | they might allow that, since youre in their net | 14:07 |
| AshTray- | I can access it. | 14:08 |
| zicada | ok | 14:08 |
| zicada | apt-get install nmap | 14:08 |
| zicada | nmap smtp.rdslink.ro -P0 | 14:08 |
| _ruben | check the docs made available to you by your isp on how to configure your email client .. those tell you which in/outbound servers to use | 14:08 |
| AshTray- | Starting Nmap 4.62 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-12-24 16:09 EST | 14:08 |
| AshTray- | My isp is crap ;) | 14:09 |
| AshTray- | The don't give you shit. | 14:09 |
| zicada | P0 takes a while | 14:10 |
| zicada | itll give you a port | 14:10 |
| AshTray- | I see. | 14:10 |
| zicada | 587 is fairly common i think | 14:10 |
| AshTray- | I hope it's not password protected... | 14:10 |
| zicada | nmap scans every port | 14:10 |
| zicada | and prints the open ones | 14:10 |
| _ruben | it doesnt (by default) | 14:10 |
| _ruben | it scans the most common ones | 14:10 |
| _ruben | by default | 14:10 |
| zicada | yeah <1024 | 14:10 |
| _ruben | no | 14:10 |
| _ruben | also >1024 | 14:11 |
| zicada | oh yeah ? | 14:11 |
| zicada | doubt an ISP will pick a >1024 for smtp tho | 14:11 |
| zicada | when blocking 25 | 14:11 |
| _ruben | i doubt they use another port than 25 (except 465 which is ssl enabled smtp) .. they most likely just filter all port 25 traffic *except* the traffic to/from their own (monitored) mail server(s) | 14:13 |
| zicada | _ruben: its not uncommon to block 25 | 14:14 |
| zicada | for private ISPs | 14:14 |
| zicada | we already know his ISP does that | 14:14 |
| zicada | and he tried to telnet his own ISPs smtp on that port | 14:14 |
| zicada | so they block for internal boxes too | 14:14 |
| zicada | hence, he needs to find the real port | 14:14 |
| AshTray- | A... i think i have a problem here. I found in my contract an e-mail account. It's @rdslink.ro with username and password. I tried to login and it didn't work... | 14:15 |
| zicada | whats the smtp and port ? | 14:16 |
| AshTray- | Not written... | 14:16 |
| zicada | hehe | 14:16 |
| _ruben | zicada: the external inbound mail servers isnt necesarily the same as the internal outbound mail server | 14:16 |
| zicada | really ? | 14:16 |
| _ruben | perhaps its webmail only | 14:16 |
| zicada | _ruben: i know, we did dig MX and got smtp.ispname.tld | 14:16 |
| zicada | pretty likely thats the smtp | 14:17 |
| zicada | every ISP provides an SMTP obv | 14:17 |
| _ruben | zicada: thats the external inbound mail server | 14:17 |
| _ruben | which hardly ever is the same as the internal outbound mail server which is to be used by subscribers | 14:17 |
| zicada | INBOUND ? | 14:17 |
| _ruben | mx records are for inbound mail traffic, not outbound | 14:17 |
| zicada | its an smtp server | 14:17 |
| zicada | logically from the hostname, its the one to use | 14:18 |
| _ruben | it *could* be, but not necesarily | 14:18 |
| zicada | true, not necessarily | 14:18 |
| zicada | but, pretty good odds | 14:18 |
| _ruben | only with small isps, larger ones seperate inbound and outbound over several server(farm)s | 14:19 |
| zicada | not necessarily | 14:19 |
| zicada | loadbalancing smtp.hostname.tld | 14:19 |
| zicada | is not that uncommon | 14:19 |
| AshTray- | wizard@metro:~$ telnet www.alandfaraway.org 25 | 14:19 |
| AshTray- | Trying 85.165.170.15... | 14:19 |
| AshTray- | Connected to www.alandfaraway.org. | 14:19 |
| AshTray- | Escape character is '^]'. | 14:19 |
| AshTray- | 220 zic.darktech.org ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) | 14:19 |
| zicada | ah | 14:19 |
| AshTray- | Same ISP, different account type... | 14:19 |
| zicada | you had blocked 25 locally huh | 14:20 |
| AshTray- | It's another box. | 14:20 |
| zicada | yeah, so the first box blocks 25 out | 14:20 |
| AshTray- | No. It's on the same ISP, but my box it's on dynamic ip and that one has a static IP | 14:20 |
| AshTray- | For blt i pay 9 euros, for metro i pay 25 :) | 14:21 |
| _ruben | so still, there's to find out which outbound mail server you can use (as provided by your isp), which possibly might be none, as in no mail or just webmail only | 14:22 |
| zicada | ah | 14:23 |
| zicada | so put the box on static | 14:23 |
| zicada | obv ips you get dealt from their dhcp are blocked at 25 | 14:23 |
| AshTray- | Can't afoard :| | 14:24 |
| zicada | ok | 14:24 |
| zicada | then you need to find their smtp and port | 14:24 |
| zicada | :S | 14:24 |
| AshTray- | Damn bastards | 14:24 |
| zicada | call them again | 14:25 |
| zicada | demand smtp and port | 14:25 |
| zicada | :D | 14:25 |
| _ruben | or search the help section on their website | 14:25 |
| zicada | yeah | 14:25 |
| AshTray- | I found on their website another smtp server... smtp.rdsmail.ro | 14:27 |
| zicada | thats the same one | 14:29 |
| zicada | oh | 14:29 |
| zicada | rdsmail | 14:29 |
| AshTray- | And a phone number.... | 14:29 |
| zicada | see if you can connect to 25 on that from the dhcpd box | 14:29 |
| AshTray- | Noap | 14:30 |
| AshTray- | Only the rdslink works. | 14:30 |
| zicada | then yer fucked :D | 14:30 |
| zicada | oh | 14:30 |
| zicada | you can connect to 25 on that ? | 14:30 |
| zicada | from then nonstatic one | 14:31 |
| zicada | all you really need is to connect to any smtp that allows you to send | 14:34 |
| zicada | either by being inside their net, or by auth | 14:34 |
| zicada | the smtp.rdsmail.ro one doesnt have anything | 14:37 |
| zicada | just 25 | 14:37 |
| zicada | for smtp | 14:37 |
| AshTray- | Oh god... | 14:37 |
| AshTray- | What and idiot | 14:37 |
| zicada | ? | 14:38 |
| AshTray- | He told me to login on my webmail account, and click somwhere to apply for a 25 port unblock | 14:39 |
| zicada | really ? | 14:39 |
| AshTray- | Yeah | 14:40 |
| zicada | you can toggle 25block from your webmail interface ? | 14:40 |
| zicada | neat | 14:40 |
| Fenix|work | Greetings | 14:40 |
| AshTray- | LOL | 14:43 |
| AshTray- | If I login :)) It smashes in my face "UMBLOCK SMTP" | 14:43 |
| AshTray- | UNBLOCK | 14:44 |
| zicada | doh | 14:44 |
| zicada | never heard of an ISP that did it like that tho | 14:44 |
| zicada | why block 25 when you can just do that | 14:44 |
| zicada | odd | 14:44 |
| zicada | i guess they figure the njubs who are stupid enough to get horrible malware that spams port 25 arent clever enough to log into webmail | 14:45 |
| AshTray- | They is it's not necesarly to umblock the 25 port. I can use smtp.rdslink.ro | 14:45 |
| zicada | :D | 14:45 |
| zicada | ah, figured | 14:45 |
| AshTray- | And they also say I have to give them a good motiv to umblock that port :))))))))))) | 14:46 |
| AshTray- | unblock* | 14:46 |
| Fenix|work | zicada, AshTray- my home ISP blocks all port 25 connections to any mail server execpt their own... | 14:46 |
| AshTray- | Interesting ports on smtp.rdslink.ro (193.231.236.97): | 14:47 |
| AshTray- | 25/tcp open smtp | 14:47 |
| Fenix|work | ... I asked them 'why?' and their response was malware that tries to mass-mail with their own SMTP engines | 14:47 |
| Fenix|work | which is like... sooooo 90's :) | 14:47 |
| AshTray- | Anyway what's the point of mass-mailing ? Anyway most of the people don't read that shit.... | 14:49 |
| AshTray- | Works now! :D | 14:50 |
| AshTray- | It's been a long that. | 14:50 |
| AshTray- | day* | 14:50 |
| AshTray- | Now the spam-assasin shit... | 14:51 |
| zicada | hehe | 14:53 |
| Fenix|work | I like SPF... would just wish other mail admins would implement it faster | 14:54 |
| Fenix|work | ... and configure their mail servers correctly... grrrr | 14:54 |
| Fenix|work | say... anyone know how to ignore socket files with tar? | 14:55 |
| Fenix|work | I'm trying to do a backup of / with some excluded directories... but there are a couple of socket files that are in different places and I get emailed ... tar: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock: socket ignored | 14:56 |
| Fenix|work | really a waste of an email from cron | 14:56 |
| zicada | best mailserver i ever ran was this qmail+vpopmail one on an old gentoo box | 14:57 |
| zicada | was up for like 3 years | 14:57 |
| zicada | never had a single issue | 14:57 |

| nomingzi | with VMware server 2.0 virtual machine created for Ubuntu Server 8.10 x86 and the installation no responding at "Configuring apt" with status of "Scanning the mirror"... http://picpaste.com/aaaaa.jpg - please advise, how to fix | 14:59 |
| Fenix|work | nomingzi, it's not VMware Server... it's actually scanning the mirror... and most likely a slow mirror... I always have the install hang at 20% 'Scanning the mirror' and have to wait for around 10 minutes | 15:02 |
| Fenix|work | afterwards, I switch to better mirrors :) | 15:02 |
| nomingzi | Fenix|work: My computer do not have any Mirror/RAID configuration. | 15:04 |
| Fenix|work | nomingzi, wrong type of mirror. It's scanning the packages mirror somewhere on the internet. | 15:04 |
| nomingzi | Fenix|work: How do I change the mirror sites to a fast link, prior to the installation ? | 15:06 |
| Fenix|work | prior... I don't think you can... | 15:06 |
| Fenix|work | you have to wait it out | 15:06 |
| Fenix|work | afterwards you can modify /etc/apt/sources.list to a more local mirror that is fast. | 15:06 |
| nomingzi | Fenix|work: oh...no... anyway, thanks for your guidance. | 15:07 |
| Fenix|work | how long has it been 'Scanning the mirror'? | 15:07 |
| nomingzi | Fenix|work: I think now should be more than 15 minutes :-( | 15:08 |
| zicada | hehe sup AshTray- | 15:10 |

| keithclark | I seem to be having trouble sharing directories/files over samba. I make the directory shareable and my other user on another computer can see the directory.

| keithclark | Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. | 18:09 |
| keithclark | Oh yeah, these are both Ubuntu 8.10 machines | 18:09 |
| sommer | keithclark: are the user's on the host computer setup for Samba? if not you can use the "smbpasswd -a username" command to add the user's to the Samba database | 18:13 |
| keithclark | sommer, thanks, trying that now. | 18:15 |
| keithclark | sommer, thanks! Perfect. Still learning here. | 18:18 |
