Обсуждение: Looking for mail relays ...
G'day all ... With the growing # of subscribers to the lists, as well as growing list activity, ppl are reporting a slowdown in the speed that mail is being processed through from sender to recipient ... The major slowdown tends to arrive when the mail queue on the serving machine gets very large, so over the past few months, we've been working on distributing that load around to various servers provided to the community. In order to improve things further, we'd like to increase the number even further ... Right now, we have the following TLDs covered: /\.(jp)$/ /\.(fr|uk|de|pl|ad|se|gr|be|ch|dk|es|fi|gi|ie|it|lu|nl|no|pt|tr|at)$/ /\.(com|net|org|ca|edu|biz|us|mil|ws|info)$/ Both of the first two lists are being covered right now by one server, so if anyone in those locals would like to take some of the load, please let us know. The third one right now is being covered by 6 relay servers right now, but we'd like to double that if we can ... If there are any TLDs that aren't covered in the above, that you would be willing to handle, please let us know as well. On average, the heaviest 'zone' (and the reason we'd like to get a few more going) is the third above (.com, etc) ... we're finding the relays are handling ~100mb/day of traffic through them ... the more we can spread it out, the lower the per server traffic, of course. If you are able to offer a relay, but you can only do a small part (ie. a Canadian site only willing ot handle .ca domains), that is great as well, as it takes some load off of the other servers, which is our desire ... If you are able to help, please email me directly and we'll get you setup. Thanks ... ---- Marc G.

Hi Marc I have a Celeron 1.3 at ev1servers.net in texas that just sits doing remote backup, mail and DNS. Plenty of spare bandwidth and CPU. It runs qmail. Any use? Gary -- Gary Stimson 28 Cowlishaw Road, Sheffield S11 8XF Tel: 07010 70GARY (704279) Fax: 07092 376864
Appendum to this ... to do mail relaying for this, there is nothing specially that has to be installed on your server, it is just a simple configuration change depending on your MTA ... For instance, with sendmail, you add a line similar to: 200.46.204.71 RELAY to your access file With postfix, you add 200.46.204.71 to your relay_domains entry in main.cf ...

Selon "Marc G. Fournier" <scrappy@postgresql.org>: > > Sure, but I don't know how to setup qmail for it ... anyone? Hello, You can do this with tcpserver and /etc/tcp.smtp. There is a good doc at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#relaying -- CharlyBr

What would be "slicker" would be to split this into more partitions, probably seeking someone prepared to relay into several of the TLDs on the last list in order to split it into pieces... I think you're seeing a pattern in the set of TLDs that isn't actually there. List #3 consists of the non-country-specific TLDs in addition to ones for Canada and the US. Of the above TLDs, the only ones that _aren't_ fairly open are .mil and .edu, which require either that you be at an "accredited" US military organization or at an accredited school of higher education. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="ntlug.org" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; http://cbbrowne.com/info/postgresql.html As Will Rogers would have said, "There is no such thing as a free variable." -- Alan Perlis
