Problem was that my server was not configured for DNSSEC

Information / DNSSEC

« on: April 16, 2024, 02:13:29 PM »

Yesterday I updated my DNS servers at my registry (name.com).  I expected my website to resolve rather quickly as it did in the past.  But after 48 hours still no joy.  After a lot of research, I learned that the problem was my registry created a new DNSSEC record by default.  Sneaky I agree.

So I quickly deleted the dnssec record at my registry and got my website back.

There are a lot of pros and cons about this new security measure, the biggest of which is a complete shutdown of your website should you create a new record before deleting the old record.  Chaos will surely prevail should you make this mistake.

Any discussion?

E-Mail / Email filters

« on: January 16, 2024, 05:52:27 PM »

Im playing around with filters and I have a few questions

• Diff between discard with message and delete
• Reply with message, what goes in the "email addresses" field
• What is "how often send messages"?

E-Mail / Re: Issues with "ALL" Gmail

« on: December 22, 2023, 12:11:36 PM »

admin/index.php?module=dkim


/admin/index.php?module=spf

/admin/index.php?module=postfix_manager

Check the box to enable for all new accounts.

Yes I know this and is done already but every email I send from my server to gmail get bounced with that message. So there is n9othing in spf/dkim config to change this. Been through the settings a hundred times now.

If you are using the DNS management where your domains are registered, configuring dkim spf will have no effect unless you modifiy  dns record there.

I have had onging issues with RC for years.   A recurring issue is in certain email accounts, can not save to send box.  This is true in thunderbird and webmail both.  I get permission error in webmail.  But just for certain email accounts.  Never did figure it out.

And a simple g search will reveal that your definition of "widespread ipv6 use" amounts to somewhere between 21 and 30%.  That would sure be widespread if it was the black plague, but for webservers.......not even close..  I think Microsoft webservers are at the same percentages.  Does that mean it's widespread?  I don't think so....but the folks in Seattle might.

Give it up newbie.

All your arguments keep being disproven.

https://www.networkworld.com/article/3254575/what-is-ipv6-and-why-aren-t-we-there-yet.html#:~:text=Who%20is%20deploying%20IPv6%3F,mobile%20networks%20leading%20the%20charge.

"As of March 2022, according to Google, the IPv6 adoption rate globally is around 34%, but in the U.S. it’s at about 46%.

Carrier networks and ISPs have been the first group to start deploying IPv6 on their networks, with mobile networks leading the charge.
For example, T-Mobile USA has more than 90% of its traffic going over IPv6 as of March 2002, with Verizon Wireless close behind at 82.63%. Comcast and AT&T have their networks at 70% and 73%, respectively"

I would call 70%-90% a 'widespread' use of IPv6.

And yet their modems come with default ip4 enabled and ipv6 disabled.  Why are they still using ip4 if ipv6 is widespread.  The answer is quite simple. 

However, the transition to IPv6-only operation brings specific challenges, one of which is that some DNS zones are only served by IPv4-only authoritative servers. This can cause problems for IPv6-only iterative resolvers as they do not have access to an IPv4 network and may be unable to resolve these DNS zones.Feb 9, 2023

No not a system administrator.   But I have been maintaining all of those websites every since trying to keep them at critical mass.  Been thru hundreds of hosts over the years and experienced every possible issue imaginable and having to find solutions with a company of one employee.  It's been a very long 27 years.  I can write an encyclopedia with the knowledge I have about the internets evolution and the companies that haven risen only to crash and burn in a spectacular display of chaos and confusion.

Bill Gates wasnt/isnt a network administrator either.  Lots of people going around calling themselves network administrators these days.  Some even have certifications and still no clue what they are doing.

People like me have an small amount of information about everything, while others have a tremendous amount of information about just one thing.  To each his own.  I dont need to reinvent the wheel, I just need to drive the wagon.

If you are still using DSL, I feel sorry for that company.

We use AT&T Fiber, and by default AT&T gives IPv4 & IPv6.
I also know Spectrum & Xfinity (Comcast) cable modems do as well.

Most VPS providers offer IPv6 now a days, even Vultr has a IPv6 Only VPS.

I live in rural Florida, we are lucky that they have an interest in giving us DSL.  I get dual bonded speed of 79 down and 10 up.  More than that I don't need.  But when they get around to it, we will eventually get fiber from them.  And it will be synchronous 200/200.  When that happens I could run my server from home, and most likely will.

I call BS on vultr only using IPv6.   That would kill their business as most webservers are running LAMP.  And setting LAMP up for IPv6 with a GUI just isnt ready for prime time.

A quick google challenge reveals:
Do you need both IPv4 and IPv6?

When possible, it is better to keep both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses enabled. For example, using only IPv6 can cause some accessibility issues, as only about one third of the internet supports IPv6 addresses.

Be careful, who you call BS on when clearly you don't know the Facts...
Re-read what I posted, and below is the link & screen capture to backup my statement.

When you've been doing Tech & IT work for 34 years, let me know...
But when you mentioned GUI, tells me you probably are a newbie. Which is fine, we all started somewhere.

An A RECORD search for both amazon and facebook show only IP4.   What say ye now?

Really, IPv6 has been widespread for awhile.

We use dual IPv4 & IPv6 allot.

Well I can tell you that my telephone company DSL modem out of the box has ip6 disabled.  And they operate over half the country.  So no, its not wide spread, I mean its not anymore wide spread than CWP's use of IP6 and all of the others.   Some vps providers dont even offer ip6.   It's a looooooooong way from being default for modems routers cell phones etc.   When IP6 becomes widespread, ip4 will begin to disappear on the WAN spectrum.  LAN will probably remain ip4 for a very long time.

I will be in a nursing home before ip6 is wide spread.

AApanel has some 3 million servers around the planet.  Why does no one think about migrating to a stable up to date control panel that is used by millions of users?
