Hi,
Yahoo! have made a change to their DMARC settings in a way that is
incompatible with how Internet mailing lists tend to operate. As a
result it is likely that members of this list (5 of you) with a
Yahoo! email account will start to cause email delivery issues for
others subscribers.
As this is not something that we can easily fix, and represents a
failure to understand how the Internet works on Yahoo!'s part, I
have had to moderate those 5 members. My best suggestion is for
those affected to change email address if you wish to continue
posting to this and other mailing lists.
Sorry about that.
The technical issue is that Yahoo! now requires that all email with
a Yahoo! email address as its From: address to have originated on
Yahoo!'s network.
Mailing lists relay mail on behalf of users, using their own
envelope sender address in order to catch bounces, but keeping the
original's From: address. As a result they send email that appears
to be from an individual, but originates elsewhere.
Yahoo!'s current DMARC settings cause sites that use DMARC to reject
such emails. Unfortunately this is not just limited to Yahoo!. It
includes Gmail, Hotmail, Comcast and other large email providers. So
if a Yahoo! user sends an email to this list, multiple subscribers
will reject it. This will go to bounce processing and ultimately may
start kicking people off the list.

Hello,
Just as a bit of research I wonder if those of you who have virtual
machines at other providers could tell me:
- How they provide their swap
- If you don't like how they provide their swap, what you do to
change it?
I think it'd be best if you let me know that off-list, so I've set
reply-to.
Cheers,
Andy

Greetings
Anyone else who have gotten the cold hand from Google while connecting
by way of Bitfolk's IPv6 range?
I have recently started using my Bitfolk VPS as a VPN, and while
connecting through it I'm not allowed to login to Google Apps.
I can access the https://accounts.google.com/ login page, but I soon as
I enter my credentials I end up at
https://accounts.google.com/RestrictedCountry, which then points me to
the https://support.google.com/a/answer/2891389 help page.
This problem goes away if I force IPv4.
The unwelcome IPv6 address being 2001:ba8:1f1:c10::1000.
The much more welcome IPv4 address being 85.119.83.127.

Hi,
Due to what I believe is a software bug in the version of Xen
hypervisor running on urquell.bitfolk.com, it has become impossible
to boot some VPSes.
This will require a reboot to recover from, so I intend to perform a
clean shut down and boot again at 0100Z Friday 9th May (2am tonight
UK time). This is necessary in order to regain manageability.
At the same time I will apply updates that should fix the problem.
Customers on urquell should expect to see a clean shutdown followed
by a boot again. I should expect the outage to take no more than 30
minutes.
Apologies for the disruption and short notice this has entailed.
urquell currently has an uptime of 1166 days.
If you are unsure which piece of hardware your VPS currently resides
on, you can work it out in a number of ways. Please see:

Hi,
Last night I added Ubuntu 14.04.x LTS (Trusty Tahr) to the
self-installer. It appears to work fine in my limited tests.
If you intend to make use of it just do a self-install by the usual
procedure:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Using_the_self-serve_net_installer
I am not yet aware of any customers who have upgraded to 14.04
though so while I do not expect any issues, you may want to
exercise some caution.
Upgrades from the previous LTS (12.04.x LTS) are of course supported
by Ubuntu and I know of no reason why that also would not work, but
again I am not yet aware of any customer who has done one.
Installers for:
11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot)
13.04 (Raring Ringtail)
were removed as these distributions are now EOL for security
updates.
Cheers,
Andy
