up_the_irons: i noticed a "coupon code" field on your order form. you ever do any specials or anything where i could give those out? i'm mentioning you in a post that will go up monday and another one later in the week. no big deal (i'll be mentioning you regardless) but i recall you gave me a free month once because some people signed up because of my "fanboyism". =) @AHinMaine (twitter) says his VPS is broken why he isn't in here, I don't know. :( AHinMaine: i bet your vps is broken anything going on with the network there? friend of mine has a vps there, pretty much dark. not getting any further response from support, so he's wondering if there's a bigger issue going on. his vps only responds to ping, ports 80 and 443, but only with his ipv6 address. No response at all from anything to do with ipv4. n/m... even though he opened with support asking if it was a billing issue and they said everything was fine there, it was actually a billing issue because his cc expired. whatever method arpnetworks uses to block non-pays must still need updating for ipv6. ;) do you know which kvm? it's ok. he's active now. i'm in the vps. (not sure how to determine the kvm) if you connect to the arp console, and ask for an ssh tunnel for the vnc console for your machine, you get a machine name like "kvmXX" it's different for each machine I think you can also tell from a traceroute could have sworn he shared that email with me, but can't find it for the life of me... jlgaddis: the only coupon code I have now is 'SLICEHOST' (gives former slicehost customers their 2nd month free) jlgaddis: make up a cool code and i'll think of something special for it (for your post) :) randalschwartz: traceroute to vps won't do much good considering they're all on vlans going through the same router second month free is an amusing (and smart) idea. Im trying to send mail to freebsd.org and I think I'm greylisted (DSN: Service unavailable). I dont think its my fault since I dont spam them... greylisting isn't a big deal if you retry over a time period like normal mta's sent one today, send one july 24 sent* er june 24... and another june 17 only spammers and over-eager admin wannabies who tune exchange incorrectly (or any mta but I've only run into exchange..) to retry a couple times then silently drop the mail after a few minutes are really in problem city if you are persistently blocked then they have mail issues or you are in a blacklist and a blacklist is something a bit more serious to get out of. depending on where they seed their blacklist from .. if a blacklist, hopefully its from one of the places you can get your IP out of easily, otherwise, good luck. ;-) well, if its an arpnetwork vps, would my ISP be arpnetworks? er o so i need to figure out if im on the list, what list it is, then find the list owners gotcha there are places that search majority of the lists (claim all, I am not convinced) in one http search form. if you're not on an obvious list there can be other things wrong like your reverse ip not resolving etc. milki: other than "Service unavailable" what is the rest of the SMTP message? uh http://paste.pocoo.org/show/438770/ jpalmer: ^ milki: there is no PTR record from your smtp server. s/from/for/ that is the most likely cause. ah you're sending as milki@jonathan-chu.cust.arpnetworks.com but jonathan-chu.cust.arpnetworks.com only has an A record. it does not have a PTR record i must be verifying it the wrong way >.> $ dig -x jonathan-chu.cust.arpnetworks.com ok ah, i can create one from the portal awesome yea, up_the_irons put a lot of effort into the DNS portal a few months ago. before that, you had to submit a support ticket, and he or I would add it manually. afk a bit. shower. oh, nice theres a DNS portal now O.o pretty awesome now if i can remember my password... lol its in your email unless you changed it (i did) of course i changed it -.- :P love the DNS portal Haven't received one DNS delegation request since then too ;) lol you will soon by the time i figure out what i want to do with this PTR record
