Today I have finally get postfix 2.1.1 running on beastie.frontfree.net (2.1.0 lived there for four hours before it was replaced with 2.1.1 after it replaced 2.0.20 :-) )

As announced in 20040429163636.911BB114DF@beastie.frontfree.net, we finally, have to accept the fact that pyxis_gk is leaving the development team due to lack of time and interest.

I have turned on several anti-spam settings on beastie.frontfree.net to ease my life. They stand for “most evident spam characters” and hence should not go to the content filtering subsystem and should be directly dropped.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of Frontfree Technology Network.

ShapReader was introduced to me by junsu@ and I liked it very much. Today, it turns one (The first release was released last year), let bless it :-)

I’m still working on deploying the new beastie.frontfree.net (builder.frontfree.net at present). Because a bug(?) in FreeBSD kernel I have temporary disabled HTT on the box.

The SMP case seems to have something wrong with it. My MARCH=p4 and -O optimized kernel often crashes when shutting down on beastieng.frontfree.net. Apparantly this is lock related (we can see the panic strings there not to be outputing atomically, and they just mixed with each other).

今天去海龙装了一台新的机器(这台机器将取代现在的beastie.frontfree.net)，非常(我很想用混账这个词!)的是，2层的那家Intel代理竟然拒绝解释为什么他们的865GBF为什么没有集成千兆NIC芯片！！他们的解释是Intel没有在中国大陆范围内销售过包含千兆NIC的版本，我认为这是不能接受的，因为在无数的网站上我看到的这张主板有包括千兆NIC的版本，并且是在中国大陆销售的。此外，这张主板将CPU(P4 2.8G-E)识别为P4 2.8-C。

An interesting conversation in FreeBSDChina’s core:

delphij -> yarshure: I need some help on qmail
yarshure -> delphij: alu is qmail guru
delphij (continue the conversation with alu and finally solved the problem)

Finally we were grant the permission of opening the technical forum again at frontfree.net, after several days of delay due to the election in Taiwan.
