No surprises
The saving of logs worked like a charm – as always. Nothing strange in that logfile.
Number of messages still pretty low compared to the past:
PMAS statistics for September
Total messages : 2203 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted : 0 = .0 o/o (Files: 0)
Relay attempts : 246 = 11.1 o/o (Files: 30)
Accepted by PMAS : 1957 = 88.8 o/o (Files: 30)
Handled by explicit rule
Rejected : 1257 = 64.2 o/o (processed), 57.0 o/o (all)
Accepted : 309 = 15.7 o/o (processed), 14.0 o/o (all)
Handled by content
Discarded : 139 = 7.1 o/o (processed), 6.3 o/o (all)
Quarantained : 209 = 10.6 o/o (processed), 9.4 o/o (all)
Delivered : 43 = 2.1 o/o (processed), 1.9 o/o (all)
Number of relay attempts as well: the amount was notable on 5 days only (where the logfile was over 5 blocks in size but not as big as in previous months: just a few block more. There has been quite some internet traffic though; the router logs in a SYSLOG daemon, and the logfile is cycled when it’s over 25000 blocks – 12 Mb – and this happened every 3 days or so. Well, not too bad…
A few days ago there has been an attempt breaking the DNS server for quite some time – I was at the console when it started and could block the offendig addresses (two in the same netwoirk) in the router. Nothing heard from them since 🙂
Travel posts
I’m working on the week-long trip of last year’s fall – time to finish the data on the Lahnsteig trail we followed that week. I finished glueing together whatever was to be combined, dumped the tracking data onto maps, still have to do the projection on GoogleEarth and picture that as well. Putting it all into a presentation (which usually takes some time as well…) before it can be published. However, there is an additional problem: The logical disk I defined for Trips, Tracks and Travels is quite full: just 3% is now free – being 919136 blocks – less than 500 Mbytes. Way too small to hold this album. But it can be extended – there is stiill little over 10 Gb available on that (physical) disk. Or use another, totally free 32 Gb disk that is still in the system and move all of the images to that location….
This is a better solution anyway, since I also need to finish the Corfu trip of this year, and the journal of this year’s Long Distance Footpath (not totally finished yet, two more legs to go…).
I can do so without downing the site – the advantage of VMS’s abilities 🙂
