What we keep on the net

HTTP

Several web-sites are served to the web by the apache webserver. Some use wordpress as Content Management System, others have there content managed by vi, Bluefish and/or Amaya.

NTP

AntiPerfect.org was part of pool.ntp.org. Statistics for last week, month and year are made with RRDtool. Pool.ntp.org maintains a record of our ntp performance from a user perspective.

April 2007 I switched to an ADSL provider with VOIP (speedlinq) , the VOIP-modem only allows 1024 active connections which is far to little for the NTP-pool. I can not get VOIP to work with another modem in front yet so I had to leave the pool.

Mail

Mail for the antiperfect.org domain is now handled by Gandi.

I created mailboxes named <name>_mailbox and put the ‘real’ names is as aliases. If I create a mailbox with the same name as on the antiperfect.org server and have postfix collect the mail, it will bounce all because it finds a ‘mail forwarding loop’ for the user. This way I don’t need the virtual database anymore for all the aliases I use. Gandi knows for which names I want to receive mail and puts it in the correct box.

To be location independent I use IMAP in all mail clients.

Locally I run a mail-server on the Synology station. Outgoing mail is relayed to mailrelay.kpnmail.nl. Incomming mail goes via mailrelay.direct-adsl.nl. See our article on email too.
