@Dashrender said in So this happened....:

Exactly - so by using an external filter caused your outage.

Do you use that filter to also keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing email?

Yes, it's an archiver too.

@Dashrender said in So this happened....:

Since you're using a filtering outbound service, I wonder if it wasn't you that was blacklisted, but the filter company and other services they all run through that same outgoing IP.

It wasn't us I said in the OP it was the cloud service. and they have a lot of IPs just a single one was blocked. we only saw two emails rejected from it.

@DustinB3403 said in So this happened....:

A total of 3 emails caused you to be blacklisted.. that seems harsh.

I've had systems get infected with spamware, been blacklisted, nuked the system in question, and emailed the Blacklist asking them to remove the registration, problem resolved in half a day.

And his system was sending way more than 3 emails...

I'm surprised, honestly.

It wasn't us. it was a vendor. but it was the SORBS blacklist www.sorbs.net

@Dashrender said in So this happened....:

did you use them for outbound email as well as inbound?

Yes. Spam can be outbound as well as inbound..

Sure, but if your firewall prevents outbound 25 from all but your server, and you're server's locked down pretty good, outbound shouldn't be that big of deal.

Adding outbound filtering would double the cost of my spam filtering, currently don't consider it worthwhile.

This isn't even covering port 25 like that.. that is the firewall. This is to prevent people from accidentally forwarding spam or a malware using the email client to send spam which will get you on blacklists, as well as scanning of attachments and urls in emails going out.

This was only one of their IPs that ended up on a blacklist temporarily. for all of 3 spam emails. 1 on Sept 2 One Oct 5, and one Today got it blacklisted.

Yes. Spam can be outbound as well as inbound..

Our Cloud spam filtering software got listed in some blakclists.. fun.

@gjacobse said in More Internet of Things/Smart Home Stuff:

Curious.

We tried the SimpliSafe system, but found that it didn't have some of the features we wanted. Maybe 'hacking' it with the RPi would be the solution.

The feature we wanted was that some doors announce not just chime. We have kids that are starting to have friends come over. And to hear

Front Door - Open

Would be nice.

Also, the window/door sensors seem expensive.

No that would not work as simplisafe base unit doesn't know the names you give it. now if it alarms you could get that info as the serial is sent to the web DB and then tied to give you the friendly name.

And it worked.

You can put time restrictions and such on PINs/users. Maybe they did that.

I plan on taking the Cylinders out of mine and finding a blank one without a key hole.

Now that I can control all my Lights (Lutron Caseta Switches and Dimmers) with HomeKit and my Door Locks. I wanted a way to control my SimpliSafe Security system, I could have wrote a GPIO script to connect into a keypad but those are insecure anyway as they transmit the PIN to the basestation plain text (not really a big risk IMO unless you are some target, the average burglar isn't going to care). so I decided instead of an RF connection I would figure out a way to write a script that uses the same thing the mobile app does which connecting to HTTPS website and using JSON to control it.

With a proxy it's already been discovered the exact unofficial API http://www.leftovercode.info/simplisafe.php http://ben.hutchins.co/simplisafe/

Anyway I got most of the JSON done to use Homebridge on a RaspberryPI turns out someone else did too.. so I'm just going to use theirs and tweak it some now: https://github.com/alexarena/homebridge-simplisafe

Seems a lot of use are working on this kind of Hacking stuff anymore to make manufacturers products better. The sad thing is this is actually more secure than using their own keychain remote or keypad to arm/disarm since those aren't encrtpyted. this is using SSL both to the web and over the cellular connection to the base station.

Installed it (thanks prime Saturday delivery) and it's working great so far.

Hasn't it always been? What's it doing now?

Augusta Smart Lock was super easy to hack too

@travisdh1 said in Schlage Sense Smart Lock:

Where'd that list of compromised home automation locks go? Dagnabit.

Anything not made by Schlage is pretty much on that list. Schlage is the only company that's done one that serious about security in the first place. Hence why their locks are damn expensive.

You can also use EMC ScaleIO for free with your own hardware if you use the community for support https://www.emc.com/products-solutions/trial-software-download/scaleio.htm (or you can buy the software or pre-configured dell servers with it).

For commercial use, too? How did I not know that they had opened this up?

Yes, the EULA has no restrictions on that. Their marketing terms of course try to convey you should " When you are ready to purchase a ScaleIO software license for full production use and maintenance, contact a Sales Associate" but the EULA has nothing requiring it.

@dafyre said in Hyper-V dynamic memory - reason not to use?:

I've only heard that it's a bad idea to use on things like SQL Servers and such. I see no reason not to enable it for anything you expect to be constantly fine tuning the memory usage.

I have it enabled on my VDI VMs here. I'd probably enable it on file servers, and IIS servers. Probably not on DCs though.

Just my 2c worth.

SQL will eat up as much as you give it so it's a bad idea.

@Dashrender said in Fiber GBICs:

I have an HP switch with an LC SX fiber GBIC.

Do you know, or think - please indicate - if that will work when connected to a ES‑48‑500W with a 10GTeck SFP SX GBIC?

Are you asking if the SFPs will work in the switch or if the SFPs will talk to each other? if you asking if they will talk to each other yes, It's still ethernet. As long as you are using the same type of fiber SFPs (or ones that will take SMF and MMF) and the correct speed and micron then they will work, that is unless you try something stupid like using a SMF run a few feet apart you will burn out the SFP.

But it is standards based and it is still just ethernet, the one side doesn't care what brand is on the other. It's the same as plunging a CAT5 Ethernet cable into dissimilar brands of switches.
