• known issues
  • Dreamhost
    • no spam-filtering on forward-only aliases
      • exacerbates problem with Comcast's stupid spam-blacklist policy
    • the only spam-filtering option for other email addresses may be overly aggressive
    • apparently does not support DKIM (a new spam-control tool; see www.dkim.org and the referenced RFCs)
    • see http://wiki.dreamhost.com/SMTP_quota for a bunch of 'anti-spam' restrictions on sending email; they may pose a serious barrier to moving our 'discussion' email lists to Dreamhost
  • Joel Lord
    • administration is restricted to just one person (Joel)
    • is the system in a data-center environment?
  • OLM
    • no direct access to any DNS information there (must go through Customer Service)
  • Primus / Shore.net
    • enough that we have already decided to move away from this provider
• basic connectivity
  • through Speakeasy
  • 1.5Mb / 384Kb ADSL
    • via Covad
    • piggybacked on 617-625-2311
  • static IP address(es)
    • 66.92.71.67 (reverse DNS: clubhouse.nesfa.org)
    • one more available at no extra charge
