What happened during the last week
I've decided to use my blog in the end. The Last week we were with
Habib for some time. He is a nice company we speaked about his
Grand Father who did some miracles through the power of 2 Gins. A
lot of people with various diseases were cured with the help of 2
Jins he has power over. P.S. In the Quran Jins are spirits created
from fire after God created the Angels due to the quran Jins are
spirits which are with free will just like us humans and they could
go for good or bad, From Christian perspective so far as I'm
Christian the Christians think Jins for Demons but are they Demons
or not only God knows, because his Grand Father did a lot of nice
things for the people was praying and fasting a lot and was trying
to love everybody, well he was a muslim but I guess God can save
everybody through Christ Jesus in his own way. Then We talked about
what the bible the life. Habib explained something very interesting
of what the muslim myth says about why people do cough. Myth says
that when God created in the beginning everything he put
(soul/spirit) when breading to the body of soil, before that the
soul was happily living with God in Heaven and the soul is not
being conforted by living in a dying body because you know it can
hurt, you feel cold stuff like that, so often when a born to human
being is being given an Angel from God comes and puts the soul in
the body through the nose then locks the entrance to be sure the
soul won't try to go out, and because the soul tries to get out we
cough :]]. In Friday night or the Saturdays I can't exactly we went
to mino with Mitko we saw Gosho/Geni there he was drunk this time
he did not repeat "on my head" like a parrot, this time the saying
was "baba yaga";]. I'm thinking again about stopping the cigars but
we'll see. Yesterday I was in Mitko and we was able to run WarCraft
3 under GNU/Linux Fedora Core 6. His brother was extraordinary
happy he will be able to play WC3 :]. During the day there was tons
of work for me. There were problems with one of our mail servers
mail.design.bg. One of the ValueWeb's Caching DNSes was down the
other was resolving hosts awfully slow. So I read some about djbdns
as a caching DNS and installed it on two of the servers on
(backup-serv1.design.bg and backup-server2.design.bg). then
switched all the NSes our servers in USA use to my new djb caching
dnses, I was amazed djbdns is really a nice bit of soft it's really
a fast caching NS. I use it for first time and I really like it
from the beginning. I experienced some problems before starting
daemontools properly on two of the machines because of the
errorno-patch that redhats and fedoras should apply to compile
successfully daemontools. I thought our problems with the mail
server was mainly because of the slow DNS resolves, but after
setting up the new djbdns and configured all the servers to use
them still the response of the mail server when there are connects
to port 25 was very slow. I was able to isolate the problem in the
evening I spoke with a guy (greycat) in irc.freenode.net in #qmail.
About my problem and he pointed me to the RBLs I use at my
qmail-smtpd run. So using the method of exclusion. Removing all the
RBLs and started putting them one by one I discovered one of the
RBL Hosts I used was lagging dnsbl.antispam.or.id (maybe due to
slow DNS resolves). If you're using it my advice is not to. When
Removed it from my run file all started working perfectly. The last
days I'm doing a lot of stuff around the qmail. I loaded some
custom spam rules from SARE (SA Rules Emposium) to reduce spam and
wrote some my own custom rules due to the spam I receive in my
Mailbox. More and more I realize how hard is to be a good mail
server administrator. Oh yes I almost forgot I ran my own qmailmrtg
two days ago it graphs nicely lot of very precious info about the
mail server's load, queue, pop3 concurrency etc. etc. and I also
ran qsstats nice qmail-scanner statistics grapher program. Because
of all the work I missed shool yesterday. I need to read now about
this business plan and know more about it I can't even imagine how
I'll graduate ever :].
