As of July 1, 2012 the Public Interest Registry (PIR), the operator of the .org top-level domain, has increased the registry cost for .org registrations by $0.49. As such, we have increased our registration price for .org domains from $11.50 to $11.99.
Primary DNS Update
We’re not going to be releasing the updated Primary DNS service in June as previously anticipated. Since the control center interface for it is being rebuilt from scratch we decided it was the best time to add a templating feature, which has been requested often in the past. This will make Primary DNS a bit more than the basic thing it’s been in the past, but hopefully worth the wait.
We’re sad to report that there was a fatal rollover accident in our driveway this morning. As of now Airway Drive is closed until further notice. Our office can still be accessed via Barron and Longley, then turning on Louie heading towards Airway.
UPDATE: as of 14:45 Airway Drive has reopened to traffic.
New Mailspike Content Tests
We’ve added four new content tests to SpamAssassin for the Mailspike DNSBL.
- RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_ZBI 4.1 points
- RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L5 4.1 points
- RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L4 3.5 points
- RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_L3 2.9 points
On the heels of our previous announcements we have two more DNSBLs that we’re adding to the default list: ivmSIP and ivmSIP/24. These are available individually as “sip.invaluement.local” and “sip24.invaluement.local” through the account control center DNSBL settings. If you’re not using our default list you’ll need to add them to your configuration in order to take advantage of them. In our test phase we observed excellent results and decided to roll them out officially.
There’s also a new URI DNSBL to compliment content scanning: ivmURI. This has been added to SpamAssassin as INVALUEMENT_URI and INVALUEMENT_IP_URI. The DNSBL tests also have corresponding content tests: RCVD_IN_IVMSIP and RCVD_IN_IVMSIP24.
