Hello all, my ISP has just written to all it's customers noting that SuSE mailing lists are being blocked because the mailers that they are sent from are listed as open relays/an open relay by the ORDB, a black list of some description. This is quite a problem for me as I use SuSE a lot at work and home. Presumably this is a mistake of some sorts and can be rectified. Does anybody have anyideas as to whom to contact? Please reply to al@fairford.co.uk, as I can't receive the mailling lists for the moment. ISP's email is quoted below. TIA Al
I've received a query from one of our users who is no longer receiving email sent to SuSE mailing lists.
I've checked our logs and discovered that these are now being blocked as SuSE's mailing lists are being sent out via an open mail relay which is being blocked as it's listed by ORDB.
Our policy here is to refuse to accept email connections from known open relays.
SuSE's use of an open mail relay is a surprise to me however the problem here is clearly with SuSE and they are the ones who must remedy it.
Until they do so their mailing lists will be getting lots of bounces and not just from us - ORDB checks are very common.
I recommend you complain to SuSE if this affects you.

Probably the wrong place, but I thought I'd give it a go. Basically I'm creating an only query system using MySQL and PHP. The data is read-only, and is arranged in tables each containing 19 single-precision floats and one 32bit integer to index it. There are four tables - with 2940, 26,460, 4725 and 79380 rows each (approx). This covers a span of 7 years and weighs in at 2.63MB. Each additional year will add 0.37MB to the size of the database. There are also about 7 other tables with about 30 rows each which just contain bits of text for the program. I'm trying as much as possible to optimize things. I'm using persistent connections and have created heap tables for the simple text tables. I'm wondering if it would be worth my while creating heap tables for the four data tables. The data never changes so there's no worries in case of a system failure. Also in 10 year's time the whole size of the database will only be about 8MB, which isn't much. However I wonder if I'm second guessing the caching inherent in the database itself. Is it worth it? Is there any other way of benefiting from the read-only & fixed size nature of the data (I'm not interested in the compression via mysqladmin). Queries will take about 100 rows, each query will only affect one of the four tables. Cheers -- Bryan

I won't say that your ISP has lied, but I'll simply say that the list is WRONG. I've send a copy of this off to someone at SUSE who I'm certain will take care of any problem that there may be - wherever it may be.

I'm not sure if this is related, but anyway. I've been having problems that some mails turn up blank (always from the same authors) on my computer. If I go and look them up on suse mailinglist archives they are there. Is it my ISP who's filtering the mails somehow? But why then only make the mails blank and not delete them entierly? This is really annoying. I'm not sure if I should complain to my ISP about it though. a.j måndag 12 januari 2004 18:08 skrev Fred Miller:

Could it be they're sending html mail and your client doesn't display it by default?
