does anyone know if there's a way to just disable gmail's spam detector it's more work to manage a second inbox that's always getting legitimate stuff than it would be to just delete the few spams I get mail rules that's all I can think of the alternative is courier and amavisd and postfix but I doubt you're trying to go through all of that anyone else here having trouble getting to rubygems.org through level 3? it keeps taking me through seattle from 206.125.168.70 it'a amazon so it probably has pmtu and icmp echo disabled but https://rubygems.org works for me mkb: i've had issues with gmail's spam filters too, but no i don't know how to disable :) mercutio good point it's an ec2 instance so doesn't appear to be elb but might be wrr dns lemme see nah they're not using route 53 donno what dns simple is Well I can connect but not ping Yeah I tried a ping -s 674 they're dropping icmp From ARP out level 3 Can you do TCP connection Yeah 301 redirect gem is just timing out though. hmm Yeah they redirect to https Are you tunneling Maybe pmtu issue ahhhh yeah can't get to https You basically have to force mss down now days Yeah that's what I was gonna guess damn Can you do TCP connection but no data? yeah That is usually the sign of MTU issues yep dammit heh Are you tunneling? Yeah I'm using gre so I donno how to adjust the mss yet I'll have to mess with it later on What os? gentoo hardened do you use ferm? not sure what that is so no lol ahh in chain POSTROUTING I have proto tcp syn TCPMSS clamp-mss-to-pmtu; i can probably figure out the iptables line -A POSTROUTING --protocol tcp --syn --jump TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu try that iptables -A POSTROUTING --protocol tcp --syn --jump TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu not using nat shouldn't make a difference on a /28 and divided up into /30s it'll clamp mss to what it gets from pmtu so it's magical, rather than having to set explicitally :) I see what you mean thanks I'll check in a bit I'm actually at work just had to see real quick lol ok cool well now you know the issue at least :) thank you :) ahhhh reading about ipv6 pmtu mkb, you can make a filter in Gmail to avoid spam filter. like do somethinglike to:"your@email.com" > action Never send to spam then for those that would have shown up in spam, a yellow bar will show up when viewing the message saying this message would have been sent to spam was not because of a filter or something like that oh filters don't sent to spam I don't have that button Ooh it's ipv6 Ip6tables then oh I have to not use basic mode Never send it to Spam" you dont have "Never send it to Spam" as an option for filter match? I had to load the regular non-basic HTML mode ok the stuff going into spam is mailing list stuff which is already filtered I think I'm gonna need to purchase some more bandwidth I've gone a little crazy this month but I kinda just want to route all of my traffic over my vps because I like my static ips can't you just ask your isp for a /29 or something? is Google Chrome really fast (compared to other browsers) because it uses so much memory? edge is faster [when it works] (I have periodic issues with Edge just not loading) Weird. I had that problem with chrome on Windows once. I had canary installed at same time which continued to work I figured it was because chrome always updates. windows 10 doesn't support vlans?! at least on intel ethernet it also doesn't support teaming mercutio: it's free, what do you expect :-)
