There Is Nothing Which Can Stop Spam Mails Coming or Going Out Of Your Mil Address!!!

Email spam [Junk mail or Unwanted email] really annoys all. There’s something hideous about craftily and repeatedly forcing worthless products onto millions of people who really couldn’t care less about viagra logo enhancements or anything else on offer. Spam is a big problem for everyone from the individual home Internet user to the multi-national corporation that depends on email communications to conduct business.

There are different kinds of spamming around this electronic web world.
– Repeatedly forcing useless products onto millions.
– Hidden text and links
– Blog and Wiki spamming
– Email Bombing
– Porno spam [Mailing of “adult” advertisements or pornographic pictures]
– Virus spam [Mass mailing that contain viruses, Trojans, malicious scripts, etc.]
– Spam scams [Mass mailing of fraudulent messages]
Etc…..

There are more and more spam categories do you ever think about
– What the reason behind it?
– Why this spam’s are not blocked all the time?
– How this spamming happening?
– What action you can take against spamming?
– Can’t we stop this spamming?

Yes it’s true there are many questing regarding this but truly the problem is; “the worst mailing protocol itself”. The founder of mail protocol never thought of this kind of un-presidential use of this discovery. Yes that’s true! Now no one can change this protocol because this protocol is spread like spider web all over the world. One craziest thing in mailing is; any one can send mail to any one with others mail address also if that mail address exists or not! That meant I can send mail from your mail id with out using your mail account, is this craziest!!!

There are many tools and companies in the world to stop and prohibit this spamming but all are failed in it. Till now there is no product or agency which can stop spam mails coming or going out of your mail address. So this is all about mail security. We can only hop a good system will come to stop this nonsense in future.
[ad#add-top-in]
But still there are some tips to Identify this spam mails your self but its little technical I hop all can understand this. By seeing mail you cant identify how is sending mail and from ware it came from. The only way to check that is by looking in to header of the mail. All mail clients have the option to see the header of the mail the header of mail will looks like this it may differ in appearance depends up on providers

Return-Path: [spamers@address.com]
Received: from server.anydomai.com (mail.anymaildomain.com [126.43.75.123])
by spam01.d2.dfd.com (8.10.2/8.10.2) with ESMTP id NAA23597;
Fri, 12 Dec 2008 16:11:20 -0400 (EDT)
Received: from aol.com (127-34-56-98.dsl.mybigisp.com [127.34.56.98])
by server.mymailhost.com; Fri, 12 Jul 2002 13:09:38 -0700 (PDT)
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2002 13:09:38 -0700 (PDT)
From: Hot Summer Deals <faike@aol.com>
To: your@mailaddress.com
Subject: You won the price of 10$Bln!!

In this you need to check the initial 6 lines which give exact picture of reply address and mail from server. This should mach the last 3 lines. Some time it also dot work; so this is not the 100% best solution for spam mail identification. I hop you can understand the complexity in mail identification.

NOTE:- Better solution is stop opening mails from unknown person. Never click any link in mails and also never download attached file which you are not sure about.

How to Migrate a Live Virtual Machine Without Interrupting Services!


Industry interest in live migration has grown as virtualization technology has become more widely adopted. Live Migration of VMs across physical servers is a vital component of data center management that enables IT managers to move VMs as necessary in order to perform tasks such as upgrading or conducting maintenance of a server, balancing the server load and proactively managing the server availability to avoid downtime or lost data. The demonstration illustrates AMD’s approach to an open and collaborative relationship with its partners to meet customer demands.

Red Hat and AMD were able to achieve this feat through the combination of Red Hat’s innovative, high-performing virtualization technology and the consistent and reliable architecture of the AMD Opteron processor.
[ad#add-top-in]
Live migration enables the movement of running virtual machines from one physical server to another without disrupting service to the end user, something that, till now, has only been demonstrated across systems based on one vendor’s platforms. Live migration demonstration moves a live VM from a dual socket Intel Xeon DP Quad Core E5420-based system to a system based on the forthcoming 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor, utilizing Red Hat’s high-performance open source virtualization software.

See the demonstration

Easy Steps to set up NFS in your Computer or Server Network

Network File System [NFS] is a very effective way of sharing files and data across your Unix/Linux network. NFS offers a neat functionality that fits perfectly into the Unix/Linux filesystem. Simply mount a directory off another machine on your network and read from or write to it; even run applications from it, that’s completely transparent!

Following are the steps to achieve NFS facility in your network.

You need to set up two kinds of services of NFS that is NFS Server at file sharing server and NFS Clint at Clint or user side servers.
[ad#add-top-in]
Setting Up an NFS Server:

-Install NFS-Server application in servers which ever you want to share. Using following commands.

apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
or
yum install nfslock portmap nfs

-Place an entry in /etc/exports

/usr/local   192.168.0.1(ro) 192.168.0.2(ro)
/home      192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw)

Here we are sharing ‘/usr/local’ with read-only and ‘/home’ with write permission. We can also specify network mask for allowing a group of network computers  or each IP as shown above to allow specified IP to access this folders.

-If you come back and change your /etc/exports file, the changes you make may not take effect immediately. You should run the command ‘exportfs –ra’ to force
nfsd to re-read the /etc/exports file.

-You may need to set /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
These two files specify which computers on the network can use services on your machine. Each line of the file contains a single entry listing a service and a set of machines. When the server gets a request from a machine, Its not compulsory if your are not using it.

-The NFS server is configured and we can start it running.

/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

Now we have setup NFS Server to share or get the shared NFS files. We need to set up following steps in Clint servers or PC

Setting up an NFS Client:

-Install NFS-Clint application in servers. Using following commands for this.

apt-get install nfs-common
or
yum install nfslock portmap nfs

-Mount the remote directory from your server just the way you mount a local hard drive, with the mount command.

mount 192.168.0.10:/home /mnt/home

Make sure you have created ‘/mnt/home’ directory before mounting it.

-To un-mount you need to run following command

umount /mnt/home

-NFS file systems can be added to your /etc/fstab file, same way as local file systems, so that nfs mounts when your system starts up. For this you need to enter following entry in fstab.

192.168.0.10:/home  /mnt/home    nfs          rw            0    0

These are the simple steps to set up NFS mount; there are lots of options and steps and configurations to set NFS in little more effective manner, also can set fstab and export file configurations for more flexible NFS functionality.

Linux File Sharing in Windows as normal File Sharing

Yes that’s true you can share files of Linux and windows machines like normal windows file sharing.
By Running SAMBA on a Linux machine you can achieve this.
Following are the simple steps to set this.

Install Samba using ‘apt-get’ or ‘yum’, like running following command in Linux box or servers.

‘apt-get install samba‘
or
‘yum install samba‘

So installation is done. Okay now you need to set up a folder to sharing, user name and password by editing ‘/etc/samba/smb.conf‘ file.
[ad#add-top-in]

  • Setting network

interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24 127.0.0.1/24
bind interfaces only = Yes

By setting this SAMBA will run only on the internal interface.

  • Setting Password

File access permissions for the shares to work, you have to set up the SAMBA username/password by running smbpasswd on the linux box.

smbpasswd <your linux username>

You should use username/password created above in Windows machine to file sharing.

  • Setting up shared folders

[myfile]
comment = My shared files and folders
path = /home/jithonline
read only = no

Then, on the windows machine access it as \\10.0.3.10\ where 10.0.3.10 is the IP address of the linux machine use the password you set using smbpasswd to login.

If you want to share CD/DVD drive

[dvd]
comment = dvd drive on Linux Box
writable = No
locking = No
path = /mnt/cdrom2

Now restart the samba using

/etc/init.d/samba stop
/etc/init.d/samba start

That’s it, all about Linux file sharing in Windows with SAMBA.
