We are also seeing issues since late November. I emailed postmaster(a)xtra from elsewhere on 1 December, with no response so far. Typical log: Dec 7 14:19:26 skinner postfix/smtp[19226]: connect to mta.xtra.co.nz [210.54.141.1]: server dropped connection without sending the initial greeting (port 25) Typical telnet: $ telnet mta.xtra.co.nz 25 Trying 210.54.141.1... Connected to mta.xtra.co.nz. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. $ The above is the most common behaviour, but apparently the connection does stay open properly from time to time (I had to send a bunch in a row to get this): Dec 7 14:28:34 skinner postfix/smtp[19322]: 187FFA9EF2B: to=<jkhhlkhkjh(a)xtra.co.nz>, relay=mta.xtra.co.nz[210.54.141.1], delay=27, status=bounced (host mta.xtra.co.nz[210.54.141.1] said: 550 Invalid recipient: <jkhhlkhkjh(a)xtra.co.nz> (in reply to RCPT TO command)) We also sometimes get "421 Service not available" before it drops the connection, and sometimes we even get connection refused. But when we're really lucky: 220 mta01.xtra.co.nz ESMTP server ready Thu, 7 Dec 2006 14:41:34 +1300 220 mta06.xtra.co.nz ESMTP server ready Thu, 7 Dec 2006 14:43:01 +1300 So, yeah, it looks like something might be up.

DPE is also up and running in Dunedin and has first connections from January 2007. We requested a name change to DIX so that we could hook up CHIX with DIX, but the request was again denied.

How about an IPv6 wireless mesh as a reason to adopt... this is purely hypothetical, but say in the Auckland (/ Wellington / where ever) CBD there was an IPv6 wireless mesh, peered locally on the IPv6 peering exchange. New sources of local content may begin to appear such as bands providing live streams via the mesh of their gigs at the local bars / pubs / clubs etc. Current non-internet content providers such as radio stations might decide to provide their own streams. ISPs wishing to be WISPs would need to adopt v6. The benefits from what I know of IPv6 (which I'm still doing my homework on - so turn the flame jets down a notch) would be that all addresses on the mesh could be internet routable, and because of the local nature of the mesh most content would probably have local relevance rather than anything further a field, so with good local peering (which is relatively inexpensive) it would be completely feasible to deliver high speed local content. While I know that this is hypothetical, do you think it might provide an incentive for people to start using IPv6 to access the content? Furthermore, people might actually have a reason to request v6 from ISPs and ISPs wishing to provide services to mesh users would have a reason to go v6 ($$$)...

Re: [nznog] CHIX - who'd sign up tomorrow?

Hi, Last I heard (about 2 years ago) it was to be hosted between Snap Internet and University of Canterbury. We have been eager to peer since before a chix was ruminated, and remain so. Unleash would be happy to put forth a small amount of rackspace for the purpose if others want to get some informal peering going. We also have tall buildings at our disposal for those out there who are wirelessly inclined. My motivation is to eliminate costly backhaul to other main centres and create a marketplace, if you will, for bandwidth down here. Christchurch could use some life breathed into its Internet. Expressions of interest?

FW:Electricity Reforms Act and Diesel Generators
by Jeremy Simons 02 Dec '06

Statement from TeamTalk Kordia supplies services to TeamTalk and we have a longstanding relationship with Kordia. They are one of our preferred suppliers and we are happy with our commercial arrangements. TeamTalk did not authorise the release of any Kordia material. The statement in question was sent to a junior member of TeamTalk's staff who contrary to company policy copied it to Jonathan Brewer of Araneo. We are treating the matter very seriously and are taking steps to ensure that such a breach of policy does not occur again. It is important to note that the item quoted was one paragraph from a complex 25-page document and was taken out of context. We value our relationship with Kordia and regret that this incident has occurred Jeremy Simons General Manager - Operations TeamTalk Limited ____________________________________________ Jeremy Simons General Manager - Operations TeamTalk Limited How Work Gets Done Phone: ++64 4 802 1478 Mobile: ++64 21 715 390 Fax: ++64 4 802 1490 <mailto:jsimons(a)teamtalk.co.nz> Mail to: jsimons(a)teamtalk.co.nz Disclaimer: The information in this electronic mail message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

> List moderator, is it possible to remove this list from the archives? I think we've been through this before, and the answer is no. There is all sorts of things in the archives that people would like to have removed. The answer has always been no. Infact way back in time there was a HUGE argument about it. Where people offered to just make alternative, REAL versions of the archives with the removed posts. It got really nasty. Dean (In his ad-hoc role as NZNOG historian)
