T-Online verbessert den Spamschutz - Legitime Mails werden abgelehnt. Summary: T-Online now blocks non-spam Mail from Debians Listserver. https://cord.de/en/blog/today-i-kicked-560-mailaddresses-off-listsdebianorg/ Sat, 26 Jan 2008 00:11:37 +0100 https://cord.de/en/blog/today-i-kicked-560-mailaddresses-off-listsdebianorg/ ... because they are bouncing. In my ongoing attempt to investigate and fix problems of our mailinglist-server, i found that we only had a working bounce-detection for lists starting debian-* minus debian-private and the three digest-lists. So i rewrote some parts of the bounce detection: We now hav https://cord.de/en/blog/debian-lists-vs-mail2news-gateways/ Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:09:06 +0100 https://cord.de/en/blog/debian-lists-vs-mail2news-gateways/ While analysing the pole setters in our internal bouncers-Hitlist i found that some of them run a mail2news-Gateway. The problem is: our Mailinglists leave Mail-Headers mostly untouched, and so headers like X-Trace or X-Complaints-To are passed through without modifications. If a mail containing tho https://cord.de/en/blog/spamwaves-on-lists-or-oops-i-did-it-again/ Tue, 08 Jan 2008 14:43:08 +0100 https://cord.de/en/blog/spamwaves-on-lists-or-oops-i-did-it-again/ Just a quick note: while wading through the list-archives, drop-boxes and list-configuration to find false positives and possiblities to optimise our mailinglists spam level i accidently removed the inclusion of our spamfilters from most lists. I appologise for this. Luckily zobel discovered my erro https://cord.de/en/blog/precedence-mail-headers/ Wed, 02 Jan 2008 20:16:11 +0100 https://cord.de/en/blog/precedence-mail-headers/ I'm just wadeing through Debian-Mailinglists on the search for enhancements and false-positives. and i just came over debian-security-announce, a lists that sends a helpful message back to submitters that aren't allowed to send out advisories. That message didn't contain a Precedence-Header so i add https://cord.de/en/blog/mutt-autoviewing-text-html/ Sat, 03 Nov 2007 14:17:19 +0100 https://cord.de/en/blog/mutt-autoviewing-text-html/ it sometimes funny, i'm working with mutt since about 10 years, (the 5 years before i was using elm) and just found out how i can view pure text/html-Mails without fiddeling with piping and things. set implicit_autoview in .muttrc does the trick. but now mutt also prefers the text/html-part of multi https://cord.de/en/blog/sendmail-uses-ident-by-default/ Sat, 29 Sep 2007 15:52:16 +0200 https://cord.de/en/blog/sendmail-uses-ident-by-default/ I have no idea how the other major MTAs handle this, but sendmail seems to issue an ident-auth-request on each connect it gets. As i think this is rather useless, as most hosts don't answer it, and, even if they would, the answer is easily fakeable, i switched it off. adding define(`confTO_IDENT', ` https://cord.de/en/blog/analysis-of-subscribed-domains-on-debian-listserver/ Fri, 14 Sep 2007 16:21:40 +0200 https://cord.de/en/blog/analysis-of-subscribed-domains-on-debian-listserver/ From time to time we have the problem that a mail posted to a list triggers an autoresponse (vacation, bounce, tdma) from an unexpected source. Sometimes it isn't possible to identify the subscriber who is causing this. One example for this was "petsupermarket". So i wrote a small tool, which takes https://cord.de/en/blog/private-spamstats-april-2007/ Fri, 04 May 2007 23:15:00 +0200 https://cord.de/en/blog/private-spamstats-april-2007/ you see my Spamstats for the time i run an own server for my domain.

We were notified that German DWN, and the Original DWN weren't sent out. Investigation showed that Diplomats (in German translation Diplomaten) matched the bad word 'Diploma', so it is dropped in our spambox. I resent German DWN yesterday and the Original DWN some minutes ago. sorry for the inco https://cord.de/en/blog/listmaster-vs-gmail/ Mon, 30 Apr 2007 23:24:47 +0200 https://cord.de/en/blog/listmaster-vs-gmail/ We get regular requests from Gmail-Users that don't receive their own mails back, when they post something on a mailinglist to which they are subscribed. So if this happens to you, first check if your mail shows up in our mailarchive . If it appears there (wait some time that the archive can catch u https://cord.de/en/blog/advogato-diary-30-aug-2000/ Wed, 30 Aug 2000 00:00:00 +0200 https://cord.de/en/blog/advogato-diary-30-aug-2000/ First Post! *duck* LUG-mailserver I'm just building the mailinglists on the new server of my LUG .
