Just ordered a Ras Pi and micro SD card so I can finally set up Pi Hole at home.

What type of case are you using for your raspberry pi?

Just fixed a Zimbra Server running on Ubuntu 12.10, time to move that server on.

Wow, yeah, time for some updates. Like a LOT of updates. What Zimbra version is it? We are still on 8.8.8.

For those interested, we tested SendGrid as a relay for Zimbra and found it... useless. We are now testing MailGun and so far, it's rocking.

ML uses MailGun as well.

What is the point of a relay for a mail server?

It's a common strategy to allow for running an in house email server with all of the flexibility that that entails, with the delivery protection that you get from a major email provider.

We compared with Zoho and the different in price for the same service is a difference of around $3/mo compared to $80/mo. Of course Zoho has extra features, but not ones that we wanted. It does have a nice interface for sure, but not that kind of price nicer.

But without a relay, you are at the mercy of your IP address for RBLs. With a relay, we get the deliverability rate of Rackspace's own email system. Pretty nice compromise. Very cheap, very easy.

Also adds some extra benefits like a GUI for monitoring delivery rates and stuff. not a big deal, but a nice add on.

So many people with masks on today because of the smoke that is everywhere. Can smell it there's so much, but no fires within a hundred miles or more of here.

Ah, ok yes, that is a very valid reason for it, but not one that I realistically ever need to deal with at clients that have their own Exchange servers.
