RE: LARGE scale email
by Phoenician 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

<snip> 1) I am migrating email from a Win32 environment to a *nix based environment. :) I am working with people that I have to remind that Linux is not a singular all-encompassing distro (ie: that Linux does means Linux but rather SuSe, Redhat, Mandrake etc..) 2) It must be ultra-secure. 3) Large scale means over 1,500 mail boxes and approx 350 to 400 domains. <snip> Thank you to everyone that took the time to reply. I have a lot of reading ahead of me but I can at least say that so far I have chosen to go with OpenBSD. I have installed the OS on a test computer and I'm tinkering as much as possible right now. - Michienne

Bridge connection on SBC
by Bennett, Joe 26 Sep '04

26 Sep '04

It was mentioned on a reply to one of my questions to the group that SBC will let you drop PPPOE and goto a straight bridge connection on thier DSL product. I posed this to SBC and attached is their response. Hopefully this might be of some assistance to those of you that have friends, family or clients using SBC DSL...???? -Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ {Solution Details: We have received your e-mail and understand that you wish to change your DSL connection mode to "Bridge". We share your concern and apologize for the previous response. Joe, if you are using SpeedStream 5100 B modem, there is an option to change to ?Bridge? mode; however, this option is not available with other modems. If you do not have SpeedStream 5100 B modem, we suggest that you contact our Customer Premises Equipment Department at 1-877-SBC-DSL5 to check the possibility of replacing the old modem with SpeedStream 5100 B modem. They will be happy to assist you. If you have SpeedStream 5100 B modem, you may change it to ?Bridge? mode by using the following steps: 1. In your web browser browse to ?http://192.168.0.1?. This address will be located on a yellow sticker on the bottom of your modem. 2. The first screen will ask you for your ?Modem Access Code?. This also will be located on the same yellow sticker. 3. Select ?Advanced? from the blue buttons on the left. 4. Click on the ?PPP locations? button. 5. The modem may ask your for the ?Modem Access Code? again. If so then type it in again and click on ?Continue?. 6. Select the radio button labeled, "Bridged Mode (PPPoE is not used)". 7. Click on ?Save Changes?. 8. A "PPP Location Warning" page will come up. Click on "Change PPP Location?. 9. A "Restart Needed" page will come up. Click on "Restart". 10. Once the modem has restarted, go to the PC and configure the Ethernet NIC for either DHCP or Static IP service. 11.Once the Ethernet NIC has been configured for the appropriate service, attempt to surf the Internet. a) If that fails, check the Ethernet NIC configuration and verify it has been configured correctly. b) If everything is in good working condition and the Ethernet card has been configured correctly, try resetting the modem back to defaults by pressing on the reset button located on the bottom of the modem. c) Once you do this, go back to step 4 to put the modem back into bridge mode.

routing / firewall question
by hanasaki 25 Sep '04

25 Sep '04

the network is Internet <=> firewall Linux with two NICs firewall <=> internal network The internal network has hosts with the following: hostA - one NIC smtp hostB - one NIC http/https hostC - one NIC dhcp server hostD - one NIC squid http proxy : port 8080 privoxity http proxy filter : port 8081 privocity forwards to squid squid sends to the outside world should the order be swapped? why? why not? The dhcp server tells clients to route via hostD how can hostD be setup so that it is a transparent proxy? Currently all clients set their http proxy to hostD on the privocity port. I know some IPtables rules will be needed on hostD but dont know what to set. Will routing rules need to be set on hostD? what are they? thanks
