How To Filter Power Upstream From SAN UPS
Jan 3, 2008
I have A/B power from my colo provider, each fed from separate xxxKVA UPSes. I have dual-cord servers powered from these two circuits.
Now I'm adding an EMC SAN, which comes with its own little APC UPS. EMC says the SAN's A-side power should come from my A-side circuit, and the SAN's B-side power should come from the included little APC UPS, which should be plugged into my B-side circuit.
Unfortnately, the little UPS puts out lots of garbage line noise on the upstream side. I know this because I plugged it in at home, and it was turning my X10 light fixtures on and off when the battery would hit a charging cycle. This is not the kind of dirty power I'd like to be feeding to the servers.
Does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning up the harmonic distortion that these UPSes send back upstream? Maybe a Tripp Lite IBAR12/20ULTRA? Or a Tripp Lite IS-1000 Full Isolation Transformer?
Alternatively, if there is a way to tell the EMC SAN to enable write caching without the APC UPS, that might work, too.

I've been having a rough morning with my hosting.
They're claiming that the problem is with the upstream provider.
So I had a question for all you smarter than a 5th grader guys.
When there's a problem with the upstream provider, shouldn't all my IPs go down?
I have a /24 with hosted with these guys, but some IPs are up while others keep going up/down.

We need people with Peer1 as a backbone and where we can (with a planned schedule that we can arrange with you) go in frequently to do maintenance on the server.
We need this in both Vancouver and New York.
We'd just get collocation directly from Peer1 in those parts but it's too costly.
Anyone know of where to go?
If not, anyone know of any companies there that peer with Peer1 in that area whose colo is cheaper?

I get "502 Bad Gateway" errors in browser and found this in logs:
- upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream
- failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream
restarting Apache solves the problem temporarily.I tried tweaking both nginx and php-fpm config files without success.

do dual power supplies use more power than a single supply?
E.g. Say I have a server than uses two amps, powered by a single power supply. Now if I switch to a dual supply (and say each supply has the same efficiency rating as the single), does my server use more power? How much more?
My simple view of this is that it probably does, but maybe not much. The second power supply consumes some power itself, but since its not under load, it doesn't consume much. Therefore, my server with redundant supplies might use 2.1A or 2.2A.

I am getting a VPS and the only mail filter option available with this company is SpamAssassin.
Is Spam Assassin's version 3.2.x sufficient to block majority of Spam/Junk emails?

As a web host or ISP what do you think is best to do? do spam/virus filtering, or don't touch mail and let the user do what they want with it? (no chance of false positives, or lost mail, this way)
I work for an ISP and we have a barracuda and we get tons of calls from customers regarding lost mail and such as when you're filtering such a large varitey of mail its very hard to have a "perfect" filter. Mail that a car dealership gets and what a hospital get is totally different, for example.
Also in terms of web hosting the filtering will put a reasonable load on the server during peak spamming hours.
So just curious, as a ISP/webhost customer do you think your host should do filter or do you rather manage that yourself?

We have identified that messages from your IP are being filtered based on the recommendations of the Symantec Brightmail filter as well as our internal Smart Screen Filters. The filter was initiated by Hotmail at (5/20/2009 12:00:00 AM) PST due to a large volume of emails that were sent prior to this time.
We will be happy to work directly with Symantec on your behalf to investigate and possibly resolve this problem. In order to move forward, we will need examples of the messages that were caught by the Brightmail filters.

How much CPU & RAM load does your spam filter put on your VPS? It seems logical that the more mailboxes hosted, the more VPS resources the spam filter will consume - especially if any of the email addresses are targeted by spammers (or the user is careless and gives out their email address everywhere - as many do).
It's become so much with some of our subscribers that we have had to offer a hardware spam filter, to keep the load off the VPS. It's been great in that the VPS's protected by it have seen a dramatic performance increase....but are these subscribers unique in some way?
And so here is my question...how much CPU is everyone's spam assassin/spam filter using and how many mailboxes do you host on your VPS? very curious...

I have the same problem as many other users who try to send to Hotmail.... my e-mails are being put into the junk filter.
Could you please help me with this as I am going mad trying to figure out how to fix this? I am running a VPS which has 4 IP's and whenever I send an e-mail from the domain it moves into the junk filter. E-mails are received correctly by other e-mail providers (Yahoo, etc.), only Hotmail has the issue.
When I do a DNS Report, the only error I get besides the mail server having a single point of failure, is "Mail server host name in greeting". I have had the VPS provider add a RDNS entry, etc.
I have spoken with the support team at the VPS Host and they have tried everything they could and can't understand why there is an issue. I also contacted Hotmail and they redirected me to a Junk Filter troubleshooting page [url]
I don't know why this is being filtered as Junk and what I can do to fix it. Could you please help as I would be most grateful.
Is someone able to PM me with help as I would prefer not to post the network/website details on the forum please?

Anyone else have problems with Yahoo Spam filters being overzealous? I recently setup a new domain and a few email accounts. After sending a few test messages to my Yahoo email, each one of them was flagged as spam. I changed the text to a more regular email, with no controversial words and still the same result. I notice that Yahoo regularly traps some newsletters I subscribe to in my spam filter, but rarely, if ever legitimate emails. I checked with my web host who informed me they are not on any spam blacklists and that I would have to contact Yahoo. Yahoo's help is quite a maze (designed to make you lose interest and move on), so before I continue hunting for how to contact Y!, I thought I would come here to see if this is a common problem (with a common fix).

in order to analyse traffic from a specific application I'm using, I need to filter out some types of server requests from the raw log files.
the reason: this app makes multiple requests to the same content in 6 sec intervals.
so I want to leave only the first request, that indicated that this item has been requested, and take out all the others, which can't be counted as hits or visits and just create noise data.
I know how to define a "relevant" request, and how to define a "noisy" request.
the question:
how can I make this filtering?
Do I need to run a script on the log files, clean them, and then use the log analyzer (i'm using Web log explorer)?
Or can i use web log explorer to define a filtering template?
this is a very critical demand, so i'd be glad for any suggestions/ideas how to tackle this problem.

I've been reading about SpamAssassin's Bayes filter. Apparently I need to forward examples of Spam and Ham to a specific email address which SA then checks.
Unfortunately, I do not suspect my average user will do this.
Here's what I'd have in a perfect world: a Webmail program and plugins for Thunderbird/Outlook/Outlook Express that will forward emails to the appropriate place whenever the Junk/Not Junk buttons are pressed. So far, the only one I've been able to find that will do this is Zimbra. However, Zimbra requires an entire server which is overkill for our small company.
I realize Thunderbird already has Bayes filters built in but I would like to do all the spam filtering server-side for consistency.
Is what I want possible?
If not, can anyone link me to a good tutorial for writing Thunderbird extensions?

I have a very strange error with mod_ext_filter (apache 2.2/php5.2.4)
Filter is defined with
ExtFilterDefine output_filter mode=output intype=text/html
outtype=text/html cmd="path_to_filter_file"
and called with
<Directory "/home/users/">
SetOutputFilter output_filter
filter file
------
use strict;
$_ = join('',<STDIN>);
$_=$_.'test';
print $_;
--------------
And now the problem. I want to automatically add extra html code with this
filter. On most sites working fine without problem. PhpBB3 working just fine, for example.
But on other php scripts like vBulletin, SMF, Nuke, IPB it brokes entire site.
IE6 have unterminable refreshes, IE7 displays an error page, Firefox retunrs a blank page if extra code is placed on header. With Opera errors are minimal but sometimes it displays some strange code.
These errors are only related to vBulletin, SMF, Nuke, IPB and few others.
Removing this line
$_=$_.'test';
everything is back to the normal without extra code

we're using IIS 5.0 which doesn't have any flexible support for rewriting URLs which include parameters (AFAIK, anyway). We're currently testing an ISAPI Rewrite Plugin, which emulates the syntax and behaviour of mod_rewrite, which is why I felt this forum category to be the most appropriate for this post.
Our URLs at the moment look like:-
[url]where 'hg' is an instance of a key. In this particular example, we wish to rewrite our URL to read [url]homegarden' where 'homegarden' is a value of that respective key.
Since the value 'homegarden' isn't present in our current URL, we need some way to associate this value with it's relevant key, by mapping one to another. The ideal solution in this case would be to use RewriteMap, however the ISAPI plugin doesn't support this directive.
One other solution, that I've seen here is to use the 'homegarden' value as the key instead. However, due to the lack of flexibility of our system, this isn't possible.
Another method of achieving this is to hard-code a RewriteRule for every instance of a key, but this solution has obvious performance drawbacks (we have around 400 categories)
So, at the moment I'm out of ideas, which is why I thought I'd try and rack your brains for suggestions. An ideal scenario would be to use something like RewriteCond (which is supported by the plugin) to attach a file which would contain the key/value map.
The current supported directives are :-
RewriteRule
RedirectRule
RewriteHeader
RewriteCond
RewriteLog
RewriteLogLevel
RewriteFilterPriority
IterationLimit
MaxMatchCount
StrictParsing
Even if it's not possible using one of the above, maybe someone can point me to solution involving a method other than using this particular plugin?

whether it is possible for Procmail to filter based on the IP address of the host from which a message was received. In context, I want to reject any messages that come from hosts other than a specific list.
Is this possible? Search for the absence of particular IP addresses in received headers or something?
is it possible to have one "recipe" acting on behalf of all mail received for a domain name, or must it be per-user?
