Virtualization and the ISP (part 3)
Oct 7th
Oh noes, part 3 is upon me and now I must be witty or informative. I am tired today, so I’ll try for informative.
My PE2900 showed up today and has been put into the rack. I even have a silly picture of its guts…
PE2900 guts
Wasn’t that nice? Say ‘yes’ please, it helps my ego a lot.
Now onto the virtualization ghetto tour!
Virtualization and the ISP (part 2)
Oct 4th
Ah, the dreaded part 2 of the series.
I ordered my test system from Dell on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008, and the box shipped on Thursday, October 2nd, 2008. I am excitedly waiting for it.
The box I ordered is to test out the I/O performance for the mail server virtualization, the config is:
- Quad Core Xeon E5420, 2.5Ghz, 2x6MB L2 Cache, 1333Mhz FSB
- 16GB (8x2GB FBDIMM)
- Quantity 4 146GB, 15K RPM SAS disks
- PERC6/i RAID controller
- Dual Port Intel 1000PT
So, not a huge machine, though not small either. If this works out well, then I’ll order up 8 of them to start the compression of my physical servers into virtual servers.
Postfix and antispam

I had originally written this for my personal blog and reposting here with some updates.
Wow, there are a lot of bad documentation links out there on the interTRON.
For the $ayjob, I have been battling spam for quite some time and continue to look for new ways to put a stop to this abuse. The hard part? One persons spam is another persons legit email, it is so completely difficult to do something that makes everyone happy.
