RE: Paradise spam policy
by Shane Cole 04 Feb '01

04 Feb '01

Hi Michael In over 3 years of running Paradise we have had one complaint about the inability to 'opt out' of this policy. We don't block mail, we block insecure mail servers (those that are known to allow spam to be sent through them) from connecting to our mail servers (and consequently deliver any email to our customers). We don't try to determine whether the message that was attempting to be delivered by such a server was in fact spam or not, consequently, it is entirely possible that someone trying to send a message to one of our customers that one would consider to be 'other emails' would not get through, it would however, be bounced and the sender would normally learn the reason their message could not be delivered to our customer. It would come back with one of the following: 550 Rejected - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/rbl/ 550 Open spam relay - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/rss 550 Dialup - see http://www.mail-abuse.org/dul/ I would also recommend having a look at http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/rationale.html if you have not read it before, particularly the Rights to Passage section. Sorry I am not free to discuss this with you on the telephone. A copy of this message has been sent to other network and ISP operators as well as Quentin Bright, the media relations contact for TelstraSaturn.

Public Consultation: SRS Implementation
by Sue Leader 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

Greetings all - Forwarded on behalf of the Chair: ================== Implementation of a competitive shared registry system for .nz: The SRS IOC is pleased to release its Green Paper on implementation of a competitive shared registrar system for .nz. This Green Paper sets the context in which the issue arises, discusses the steps taken by ISOCNZ to date, and lists the various options for action and their consequences. After a period of time to permit further comment, which is now solicited, the IOC will prepare a White Paper which will make selections from the various options, and chart the implementation course, including operational responsibilities, a timetable, and a budget. Because of the time taken to date, and the extensive consultation which has occurred, the consultation period for this Green Paper will therefore close on Friday, 16 February 2001. Between that time and 4 March 2001, the IOC will draft the White Paper. It will, in this period, take such further advice, and conduct such further consultations as it believes appropriate. On Monday, 5 March 2001 the White Paper will be presented to Council at a special meeting convened for the purpose of reviewing the White Paper. By Monday, 19 March Council will have voted on the implementation of the White Paper. By then, a Project Implementation Manager should have been appointed, and implementation should commence." Kind regards, Peter Dengate Thrush Chair, ISOCNZ ============== To read the Green Paper please go to: http://www.isocnz.org.nz/consult/ A new mailing list has been set up for this consultation.

Mail problem
by Gordon Findlay 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

Folks: I wonder if anyone can help. Last night I upgraded our name server (ns.cce.ac.nz) to the latest BIND. SInce then we've had intermittant problems receiving email. Now I've reverted to the previous version: still got problems. The setup is: name server ns.cce.ac.nz 202.36.178.69 mail server mailbox.cce.ac.nz 202.36.178.67 we connect through xtra, but have our own domain and mail servers. traceroute is stopped at our firewall. Every name server that I check has the correct records (well, I think they are correct) except that for a few hours dns1.clear.net.nz had the wrong MX record. Taking xtra as an example: only one out of many test messages has reached us. One message from paradise.net.nz got here - in three hours. Others have not. I'd have thought there might be a routing problem - but I can telent to the boxes from outside this site. Folk from clear, telecom and domainz have all looked at the problem, and been a great help, but we seem to be no nearer a solution. One suggested trying nznog Can anyone suggest where I might start looking now? It's been 24 hours and I'm puzzled. Thanks for any suggestions. You might not be able to mail me: but gordonf(a)xtra.co.nz is still working :-) --- Gordon Findlay Manager, Information Technology Services Christchurch College of Education, PO Box 31065, Christchurch, New Zealand email: gordon.findlay(a)cce.ac.nz phone +64 3 343 7766, mobile 021 358 788 -These views are mine: the College may agree, by coincidence.- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

RE: Wireless APE.
by derek 30 Jan '01

It is not the equipment that determines the output, but the 2.4Ghz spectrum regulations being 4 watts. It will cost you more for a WaveLan setup as Lucent's outdoor solution (COR and ROR)does not conform to 802.11. They have deployed there own proprietary polling system and they will not work with any other vendor. So if you want to use a Linux box at home to save cost you should go with Cisco, also the drivers for the Cisco card come prepackaged in the latest Linux distributions.

I guess cost is also a consideration here. Anyone know much about WaveLan?

Reminder: NZ NOC contact list
by Simon Lyall 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

As people may have heard this was offline for a week or two due to hardware failure. Anyway it's been backup for a few weeks again so I thought I'd remind people where it is. http://www.usenet.net.nz/noc/ Currently I have most major ISPs listed except for the Telecom group of companyies, anybody there who is able to give people a nudge could they please do so. Perhaps a pointer to the list could be included in this list's monthly posting. Please send any comments, updates or corrections to me or you can use the form on the page. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

APE peering party....
by Matthew Grant 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hi HTere! I am currently the Network Administrator for Plain Communications (http://www.plain.co.nz/) in Christchurch. We have been an ISP from almost the start of public Internet service in the South Island, and host approx 200 WWW sites which include major corporate entities. We formed the first peering at APE with Clear Net when it started over a year ago. Next Friday we should have our router in the skytower upgraded to Zebra software (http://www.zebra.org/) from gated which means that we will be able to peer with much greater facility at APE. Could the parties interested in forming peering arrangements with us please get back to me, or my protege Mr Ben Aitchison <ben(a)plain.co.nz> who will be taking over next week. I will still be available from time to time when needed. Thank you for your cooperation.
