Surplus Equipment
by Robert Gray 07 Feb '99

07 Feb '99

I know this is not the place to discuss selling/buying surplus network equipment, but (in common with others?) we have collected quite a bit gear which is somewhat specialist in nature and surplus to requirements. In other words Trade and Exchange is not an appropriate outlet. Anyone found a good place to trade such gear?

RE: Surplus Equipment
by Frank March 07 Feb '99

07 Feb '99

Schools may be interested in good quality equipment which is replaced because of upgrading (ie is still perfectly serviceable or readily repaired). A national consortium of computer recyclers has been set up to channel good quality equipment at minimal cost into schools and not-for-profit organisations (schools are the main emphasis). I am copying this to their mailing list. Briefly AFAIK at present there are just three recyclers: Bob Lye (The Ark) in Auckland; Richard Darton (PCRC) on Wellington and another group in Christchurch (apologies to the folk down there, I dont know who you are). These people are attempting to live from these activities but margins are low so they really appreciate DONATIONS of gear ;) Computer (and other IT equipment) recycling is endorsed as part of the series of initiatives from the Ministry of Education for IT in schools. Another very good contact group is NetDay99.. contacts and information at the web site http://www.netday.net.nz/ NetDay is also backed by the Ministry of Education and many other fine institutions. Netday provides very basic networks for schools (a basic 8 or 16 port hub and Cat 5 cabling) but routers, servers etc etc are badly needed.

NZ Promiscuous Mail Relay Survey
by Joe Abley 06 Feb '99

06 Feb '99

Hi again, Further to my message on this subject the other day, I decided to send an informational note to postmaster addresses at hosts that I had found to be relays. Some readers of this list will have received copies. Although I have received quite a bit of positive feedback from the notes I sent out, it seems that I have inadvertantly upset some people. If you are one of them, then sorry - I didn't mean to intrude. I have put some information about the survey (and a list of the frequently- asked questions so far) at: http://www.patho.gen.nz/~jabley/survey.html Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZ promiscuous relay survey
by Joe Abley 05 Feb '99

05 Feb '99

Last night I performed a crude survey in an attempt to find out something about the proportion of SMTP mail relays which permit promiscuous relaying in NZ. The methodology is by no means flawless, but it might give an idea of the scope of the problem. If anything, the proportion of mail relays which are open is understated, due to: + an incomplete list of mail relays in NZ to check; + a rather nasty SMTP implementation hacked together for this purpose that isn't very flexible and makes various poor assumptions; + mail relays which were broken at the time of the test; + mail relays which _will_ relay my mail back to be counted, but which haven't yet. Anyway, here are the results -- comments welcome! Out of 3751 MX hosts that we tried to use as a relay: + 269 (7%) accepted our message, but later bounced it + 1208 (32%) relayed our message OF the messages that were relayed: + 929 (76%) were from hosts named under co.nz + 33 (2%) were from hosts named under net.nz + 72 (5%) were from hosts named under govt.nz + 15 (1%) were from hosts named under ac.nz + 22 (1%) were from hosts named under school.nz + 0 (0%) were from hosts named under iwi.nz + 8 (0%) were from hosts named under gen.nz + 38 (3%) were from hosts named under org.nz + 1 (0%) were from hosts named under mil.nz I will not publish the list of MX hosts that did or did not permit relaying in this experiment. If you'd like to enquire about whether an MX host that you maintain relayed our message, please contact me directly. Methodology: 1. Zone transfers were performed for the NZ second-level domains co.nz, ac.nz, mil.nz, gen.nz, org.nz, school.nz, iwi.nz, and net.nz. 2. For every key in each of these zonefiles with an NS record, the key was extracted. A unique list of keys with NS records was generated. 3. MX records for each key were harvested from the DNS and a unique list of mail exchangers to be tested was produced. 4. A message with envelope sender jabley(a)patho.gen.nz and envelope recipient relayed(a)patho.gen.nz was sent by connecting to each relay and talking SMTP. Each message contained a random key which was stored in a local database. 5. Every time a message was received with a matching key in the body text and addressed to relayed(a)patho.gen.nz, the local database was updated indicating that the MX host in question permitted the relay. 6. All SMTP connections were made from tardis.patho.gen.nz (203.97.2.226) between 0500, Feb 5 1999 and 1400, Feb 6 1999. 7. MX hosts which specifically (intentionally) permit mail relaying from tardis.patho.gen.nz were excluded from summary reports. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
