Looking for an AMD Phenom II CPU
by Wyatt Zacharias 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

I have an old socket AM2/AM3 system which currently has an Athlon CPU in it that I'm looking to give a little extra life. Does anyone happen to have a spare Phenom II chip lying around that I could have/buy cheap? -- Wyatt Zacharias

DNS linters / consistency checkers?
by Adam Thompson 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Between roughly 10 and 20 years ago there was a bevy, nearly a plethora, of tools to scan your various BIND zone files and check that everything was in order, no illegal names existed, PTRs matched up with As, etc., etc. Today I can only find two, one is dead (dlint) and doesn't check zone files only live DNS, and the other (validns) doesn't do PTR<-->A checks which is what I really wanted. Where did all the other zone consistency-checking tools go? Anyone have any pointers / links? Thanks, -Adam

Gmail spam filtering super-aggressive lately
by Hartmut W Sager 03 Apr '20

03 Apr '20

I've had a lot of trouble in the last few months with Gmail's spam filtering having become super-aggressive, but tonight we have a live case worthy of analysis. In the thread "Opinions on Fedora Server" initiated by Alberto Abrao <alberto(a)abrao.net>, *both* of Alberto's postings went to my Gmail spam, while Trevor Cordes's posting came through fine. A detail on my use of Gmail: I use it as infrastructure for my own e-mail addresses @marityme.net. Incoming e-mails to @marityme.net are forwarded into my Gmail address from somewhere else, and outgoing e-mails from @ marityme.net are sent from Gmail where I set up these addresses as valid "from" addresses. Yeah, I suspect the trouble is somewhere in Gmail's new expectations re TXT SPF, DKIM, DomainKeys, and such. Hartmut W Sager - Tel +1-204-339-8331

Main firewall / router for public facing subnet
by Alberto Abrao 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi folks, hope everybody is safe and sound. This may be a basic question for most of you, but at any rate, I would rather ask here as I like the way MUUG members approach things. I have a Shaw connection with a few Static IPs. As of now the modem is bridged, and each machine grabs its own IP and goes to town, be it a static for servers or a dynamic for my local network router. On each of these, I set up firewall and whatever else is needed. I have the feeling that's redundant. That, and having a main router in front of them would help me set up things such as QoS and a central firewall. I am used to doing this for simple NAT duties, but this time I would have a router managing public facing IP addresses. Any tips on what should I look for to get started? Thanks! -- Alberto Abrao 204-202-1778 204-558-6886 www.abrao.net

win server licence
by Dan Keizer 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

well, first off this is not for me (honest!) .. a guy I know is looking to run a windows server licence for some specific software vertical he is looking at ... (i asked - they dont have a linux port) the company (no idea who it is) claims the software works best on server licence as it utilizes the hardware better ... he's looking at trying to save money on the licence, so does anyone have 2016 or 2008 server licences on dead machines that can be repurposed? wondering if the likes of MER may as well.... thanks. Dan.

Hacking Shaw email
by Rob Dyck 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

I have an odd question. The girlfriend's ex-mother-inlaw got herself in trouble with Shaw. She claims Shaw is holding her email and contacts hostage. We suspect she just hasn't paid her bill and got cut off. She asked my girlfriend to ask me how to get her email. Anyway to do that? Other than paying her bill? Rob Dyck
