linux - SPF Records for subdomain sharing mail server

I have two websites hosted on the same server. I set up the second site after I had already set up the first site and its corresponding email server. This is more of a DNS question. The first server has been working trouble free for a long time, and its SPF record checks out just fine and I send mail with no issues. I set up a second web server using an apache vhost, and I used iRedAdmin to set up a second email domain. The problem appears to lie with my SPF record, and whenever I send mail form the second domain, it gets flagged as spam. I've set it up using the original mail server as its MX, but I've never done two e-mail server on the same IP address and I'm not sure if I'm mucking it up.



Here are the two SPF records for reference (hostnames obfuscated):



This works fine:




v=spf1 a mx a:server1.com mx:mail.server1.com ip4:x.x.x.x ~all


This does not work:



v=spf1 a mx a:server2.com mx:mail.server1.com ip4:x.x.x.x ~all


And ideas? Server 2 insofar as mail is concerned is simply a front for server1. You can send mail to test@server2.com, but it gets routed through the iredmail server at server1.com.




Any insight would be appreciated as I need my messages to stop being flagged as spam.



Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: x.x.x.x is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of mymail@server2.com) client-ip=x.x.x.x;


Ok. I don't care if you guys know my ip addresses, I just need to know why gmail sends this to the spam folder. According to the headers in the message, it passes the SPF tests and etc.

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

linux - How can I get my mediawiki to stop thinking I have cookies disabled?

I've searched half a day for how to resolve this issue, and can't figure it out. Shortly after I made my wiki a simple private wiki according to the instructions at Mediawiki's website, it started giving me this weird login error message: Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again. If I remove those private wiki settings, the error disappears, even if I try logging in. But I need it to be a private wiki for only my team. So what do I do? Here's what I've done so far. Just to be safe, after ever change, I try rebooting Apache using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart In my php.ini file, I have the following set: session.save_path = "/var/lib/php5" session.cookie_secure = secure session.cookie_path = /tmp session.cookie_domain = my server's internal URL (should I even set this? this field was blank before, but not commented out) session.referer_check = Off I ran the following to ensure that the fold...

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...
