Re: Topdog.za.net :: Python modules you should know: PyGPGME

Just thought I would add a comment that in the encryption example the callback doesn't work with GPG2, it will always prompt for the passphrase. Unfortunately this is the case with RHEL6. More of an FYI.

Beyond that, this a great article, help me ton.

Thanks!!!

here the solution:

preference = 10
exchange = "mail.example.com"

update = dns.update.Update('example.com', keyring=keyring)
update.replace('host', 300, 'a', dns.tokenizer.Tokenizer("%s %s"%(preference , exchange)) )

response = dns.query.tcp(update, '10.0.0.1')regardssilvan

No its not authenticating, that shows the IKE session, the IPSEC session is not coming up.

looks like it connects and authenticates like a charm but disconnects immediately

Add this new conn

conn rw-xauth-psk
leftfirewall=yes
leftauth=psk
right=%any
rightauth=psk
rightauth2=xauth
rightsourceip=192.168.2.0/24
rekey=yes

And add your preshared keys to /etc/strongswan/ipsec.secrets

There are not that many to begin with for some reason, but I wait with bated breath to the possibility of one becoming available soon. I used your script for my old site, but am converting to Joomla and have been stumped as how to incorporate it as a module.

We consider adding co.za functionality to one of the existing ones that accepts patches, when i get some time on my hands

Re: Topdog.za.net

Craig King — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 04:46:29 -0000

Have you ever thought about developing a Domain Checker module for Joomla and the other CMS systems as none of the current ones support the .co.za and .org.za domains which is exceptionally frustrating.

Yes it requires quotes, it should be fixed now.

Thank you Andrew!

For some weird reason I got this error:
warn: syntax error (unparsable argument: ’URIBL_BARUWA’) for eval function: URIBL_BARUWA: check_uridnsbl(’URIBL_BARUWA’)

The fix is to replace the ’ with '

Re: Topdog.za.net :: TIP: Use a random IP address from an pool of addresses with Exim

stsonoat — Tue, 08 May 2012 14:49:58 -0000

What happens if the remote host uses greylisting?

Will the message keep being rejected until the lookup expands to an ip address which was already used in a previous delivery attempt? Or is Exim smart enough to not try to evaluate the interface another time?
