[09:12:58] <seekwill> Hey look at that! [09:13:12] <mrhavi> how in the @#$% did that happen [09:14:11] <mrhavi> seekwill.. can that block users like yahoo, hotmail, gmail? [09:14:17] <seekwill> Yup [09:14:36] <mrhavi> verywell.. seekwill a beer for you [09:14:49] <seekwill> Yahoo, hotmail, gmail do offer programs that might help you around that [09:15:08] <seekwill> In general, it's better to just get a better relay or IP [09:15:32] <mrhavi> yes.. i will agree... after all it is a TWC dynamic ip [09:15:40] <seekwill> haha [09:15:59] <mrhavi> we have 4 static ip from a t3 siting right next to it [09:16:13] <seekwill> Why aren't you using that? [09:16:47] <mrhavi> i need a much bigger switch.. infact were trying to get this new load balencing router [09:17:03] <chadmaynard> 4 IPs on a T3? [09:17:09] <seekwill> Bigger switch for what? [09:17:14] <chadmaynard> who did you buy this from? [09:17:21] <seekwill> chadmaynard: <advertisement> [09:17:32] <chadmaynard> I've never seen them with less than 32 [09:17:47] <mrhavi> ohh 32ip? [09:18:04] <mrhavi> well im sure we have many more ips non which i will use [09:18:26] <seekwill> haha [09:18:27] <mrhavi> a bigger switch for redundant connections [09:18:28] <seekwill> You know what... [09:18:44] <seekwill> You could probably calculate the capacity of an IP address [09:19:17] <chadmaynard> the capacity of an IP ? [09:19:18] <seekwill> Given the assumption that 90% of emails will go to a handful of ISPs, you can find out those ISPs throttles... [09:19:22] <seekwill> Yeah [09:19:33] <mrhavi> uhhhh ok [09:20:04] <seekwill> Lots of assumptions, but if you're list is to the "general public", you could probably do that... [09:20:15] *** hever has joined #postfix [09:20:40] <seekwill> That would be a fun project... [09:20:41] <mrhavi> throttles you mean... sending out just enough so i dont get blacklisted?

[09:24:09] <seekwill> Then we're out [09:24:39] <seekwill> chadmaynard is here till 2PST [09:24:59] <mrhavi> wait... [09:25:00] <f3ew> The Spamhaus PBL is a DNSBL database of end-user IP address ranges which should not be delivering unauthenticated SMTP email to any Internet mail server except those provided for specifically by an ISP for that customer's use. The PBL helps networks enforce their Acceptable Use Policy for dynamic and non-MTA customer IP ranges. [09:25:07] <f3ew> http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/index.lasso [09:25:25] <seekwill> Does TWC allow you to relay through them? [09:25:44] <mrhavi> hmmmm good question [09:25:54] <seekwill> And what about the T3???? [09:25:57] <mrhavi> i have a Bus. class connection [09:26:30] <chadmaynard> is that DSL? [09:26:53] <mrhavi> 2 t1,s 2 dynamic connections and 1 t3 [09:26:55] <mrhavi> hahah [09:27:01] <mrhavi> dsl... all cable [09:27:05] <mrhavi> or fiber [09:27:30] <chadmaynard> A frame would be cheaper [09:28:14] <mrhavi> so obviously since im using the dynamic connection that is the reason.. [09:28:41] <chadmaynard> probably. Dynamic ranges are often listed [09:28:48] <mrhavi> ahhhh... [09:28:50] <chadmaynard> just because they are dynamic [09:29:11] <mrhavi> what are you guys using for email [09:29:28] <mrhavi> postfix and...

[09:31:59] <chadmaynard> dovecot isn't a MTA afaik [09:32:22] <mrhavi> i know that.. i just wanted to know the setups you guys had.. [09:32:48] <chadmaynard> oh [09:32:51] <mrhavi> so i can understand more of why or what i would use [09:32:58] <mrhavi> how much power i really need [09:33:15] <seekwill> At 10k, I wouldn't host it internally :P [09:33:24] <mrhavi> what would you do...

[09:34:29] <mrhavi> what about in your situation [09:34:39] <seekwill> My situation is different and doesn't relate [09:34:50] <mrhavi> well what if i wanted to know [09:34:54] <seekwill> I won't say [09:35:02] <chadmaynard> confidential information!

[09:35:29] <mrhavi> i can tell you do this for a living [09:35:30] <seekwill> Look, to be a good postmaster, you'll need to work with the major ISPs to build up better IP reputation [09:35:42] <seekwill> It's the same for 10k emails a week and 10k/emails an hour [09:35:55] <mrhavi> ip reputation [09:36:32] *** Slashman has joined #postfix [09:36:35] <mrhavi> any tips... other then emailing the ceos of all the companys saying id really like it if they would let my emails go through [09:36:54] <seekwill> Yeah...http://postmaster.yahoo.com http://postmaster.hotmail.com [09:36:58] <seekwill> I forgot Gmail's [09:37:03] <mrhavi> ohhh ok [09:37:03] <seekwill> I bet you could Google it [09:37:14] <seekwill> And don't ask what to google for...
