Hello,
For more info regarding the bios_limit setting see here:
http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/commit/?id=e2f74f355e9e2914483db10c05...
Probably the limitation can be ignored with:
echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/ignore_ppc
or with processor.ignore_ppc=1 as kernel parameter at boot time. But I'm not sure about this.

Comcrap's email policies are evil. If you have them host your email, you are limited to something like 3-5 addresses. Never mind that you want all of those addresses to go into 1 account -- they want to charge you per/address (regardless of whether or not they all funnel into 1 account). I have no options for ISP other than comcast (or a 1/10th speed DSL option through AT&T), but I pay extra to have my email hosted at a 3rd party service because of my ISP's "craptastic" service!

Subscribing to the other suse lists is actually the first real problem I have had with the Comcast email, aside from outages every once and awhile. They did say they would terminate my service once when I was doing some consulting and was downloading data files from LLNL's super computer. They said I had exceeded the 250GB per month limit. I asked about purchasing another line so I could double that limit, and they told me where to go.

Why bog down your own email with list traffic when there are half a dozen providers that will give you a virtually unlimited imap account for the princely sum of Zero Dollars? Get a free hotmail, google, yahoo, yandex, etc account. There is nothing personal or private on an email list, so no reason to host that stuff yourself. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you get a business line, I believe, they won't hassle you. At least that's what I've heard, been told, and given my usage, is likely true (i.e. I have an average upload rate of ~1MB/s going, pretty much all the time (busy serving distro's and such, ya know)). That comes to 2.4TB/mo. (assuming my math isn't totally lame), so I'm pretty sure they aren't capping my uploads @ 250GB. My downloads are alot less than that -- maybe 1/5 - 1/15th as much. I'm sure I'm over 250GB d/l on some months, but maybe less on some months, but the upload alone would blow through that limit in less than a week & can't believe they'd only count d/l(?)
I was OK with the email until I could not join some of the other suse lists. I still do not understand why one list can get through, and the others can't. Is it suse, or Comcast?
W/o seeing the bounce messages, unknown. I don't use comcast's mail servers to send out my email, send them out from my static IP direct. Alternate suggestion -- use gmail to sub to the lists and send email out? I'm not sure what requirements they have to allow outgoing or even if it is possible -- but some mail-providers will look at your IMAPS usage and allow outgoing email if you have an active IMAPS session going.

Was wondering the same myself. The FCC regs have specific language about fair treatment of edge-connectors (small service providers), which would seemingly include mail servers and private web servers, game servers, ftp, etc etc. Now I'm of two minds on this, as thousands of mail servers will generate a bunch more spam. But on the other hand, essentially banning private mail servers hasn't done jack-shit about curbing spam, and the last ten years of scape-goating private mail servers has been a total and utter failure. Besides, there are better ways to prevent spam than preventing anyone from sending it themselves. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sending and receiving is independent on gmail. You need authentication with both directions. I have my postfix talk with gmail for sending, so they are pretty standard. And yes, you can use them to relay your secondary addresses when sending; you only have to register those addresses first.

I have compcast for business, and its almost, but not quite that bad. But I don't trust them with anything, I don't host my email there or my website (for my business). I run my own mailserver for work, but it just forwards to my hosting site for outgoing. I mostly want/need my own mail server for incoming mail, because my customers insist on sending me huge files now and then. The only email I get from my comcast mail box is comcast-outage alerts.

My ISP (telefonica) I understand has dropped email support. Our old addresses keep working, but you can not obtain new ones. New clients get none. I think they tell you to obtain one at gmail instead.

At the beginning, my ISP wanted to charge per port... At some point, they also wanted to charge per email sent. And extra if they included attachments. Interestingly, also at the beginning they handed out fixed IPs for everyone. Then they decided to improve and offer a new service: dynamic IP! No kidding, they told clients that it was an improvement over fixed IPs. I was told of a conversation with a high ranking staff, and he was very surprised when told that people used internet to connect computers to one another, and do something else than see webs. And he was unable to comprehend that the usefulness of Internet decreased with non fixed IPs, because then people could not connect to one another without using intermediaries. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

The emails for the OpenSUSE lists to which I'm subscribed to are coming from lists.opensuse.org and the PTR record is valid for this host. The reverse record is managed by the one who owns/manage the respective IP block so if you have any problems you must ask someone from Novell/OpenSUSE team to do this. Don't use the comcast mail services if you hate them so passionately. If you have time you can configure your own mail server (if your lovely ISP company does not block port 25 of course).

I mistook your comment to mean you found it unusual, sorry. In my company we fight spam too, but a mailserver with a missing or incorrect reverse mapping is simply dodgy. It indicates poor admin practice, perhaps due to inexperience, carelessness - or simply a trojan.
