 * is get-token working correctly?
   * may be due to setup, but on first call I didn't get tokens. second and later were fine. test after reboot

 * spamassassin is using `/var/spool/exim4/.spamassassin` to store bayes and txrep for some reason... see if passing `--helper-home-dir /var/lib/spamassassin` fixes it
 * exim is not configured to forward mailman mail to mccarthy
   * everything is closed currently, so likely needs to be updated
   * Not sure if sa-update works either
Line 26: Line 25:
   * https://www.spamhaus.org/organization/dnsblusage/ zen has 10k per day limit, which we were getting close to (when we had 150 members, but better to solve early)    * https://www.spamhaus.org/organization/dnsblusage/ zen has 100k message / 300k lookup per day ... something we will not hit for a long time
   * but also [[http://uribl.com/refused.shtml|upstream dns servers are blocked from URIBL]] so we may need one anyway

minsky.hcoop.net is a virtual machine at DigitalOcean that will become our primary mail server, and replaces ServerMcCarthy

It is named after professor Marvin Minsky.

1. Setup Notes

Similar issues as ServerMarsh:

  • had to manually add "domain hcoop.net" to resolv.conf
  • had to open puppetserver port 8140 (bootstrap problem: new server can't connect to the puppetserver to request a cert, so it can't add its ip to the whitelist...)
  • Default /etc/hosts is no good, sets marsh to loopback, with no ipv6. Had to munge like ServerGibran to public IP and add IPv6 alias. Really need to look deeper into this before perpetuating bad practice even further.

2. TODO

  • courier
  • ejabberd

3. Immediate Issues

  • exim is not configured to forward mailman mail to mccarthy
  • make sure firewall allows spamd to contact external services
    • everything is closed currently, so likely needs to be updated
    • Not sure if sa-update works either
  • we don't have a dns cache enabled, do we need one to avoid annoying zen.spamhaus.org ?

4. Exim

  • Exim can't lookup addresses if there are no vmail users present
    • This makes mailNodes_admin not work.

  • spamassassin addrs are only updated when someone toggle their status with setsa, this needs to also happen during a domtool-admin regen
