Good Evening

Ok back here after a good football(Soccer) match. Was pretty good one. Scored 2 goals and it feel good man! Gulped down some more tea after that. Is drinking tea so much is good? No idea anyway I like it though :). Feeling little tired I am now. Gona have a little chillout , may be few drinks? and as usual back home after that.
So till then take care and enjoy. Have a great day/night ahead

Good night ya all(from me :) )
Bye for now
Ofcoz time for a back up :)

mailgrapgh

Hey
Atlast my headache of mail graph not starting up issue is temporarily over with a little weired way to run it with following startment
May be others can stop breaking their head for timebeing, as I have already broken my head so much for this issue and found the rc script of mailgrapgh is the culprit. I hate that port maintainer now ...

So run this on ur freebsd box if you have issue with mailgraph
/usr/local/sbin/mailgraph.pl -l /var/log/maillog -d --daemon-pid=/var/db/mailgraph/mailgraph.pid --daemon-rrd=/var/db/mailgraph --ignore-localhost --rbl-is-spam

Explaination for the above goes like this
-l For specifying the maillog
-d To run in daemon mode
---daemon-pid Specify the pid file
--daemon-rrd Location of rrd files
--ignore-localhost Just ignore the mails from localhost(best suited for situations if run amavis)
--rbl-is-spam Consider RBL reject as spam ( btw adding a rbl has saved the mail server from hell a lot of spams )

Looks like server issue is settled...???

Good news!
Looks like HP Proliant ML 350 G4p server which was showing up a ASR on a high I/O issue is getting settle down with a Firmware update from HP. Good news indeed, will wait for a whole night system back to confirm.

Moving to Exchange 2007?

Ok situation is this
Need to upgrade Exchange 2000
Choice Available
1. Move to Exchange 2003
2. Moveto Exchange 2007

Move to Exchange 2003 - Pros & Cons
Pros ->
1.No need to change hardware, my existing server will happly take the load
2. No need to change the OS, exisitng Win2K3 will do the work( yeah.., I know what u are thinking, exchange 2000 on Win2K3? Yeah little secret will tell ya later :) )

Now Cons
1. One more new Server which may tie me up in a 64 Bit environment(if I go for Intel 64)
2. Need to additionally purchase Win2K3 64 bit version
3. May have to look for Office2K7 to utilize all the features of Exchange 2K7

Hmmmmm let me weigh all .....

Day 2nd

Goodmorning Everyone!
Day started of nicely. Little stock taking and new recomendation for next year budget. Looks like I need to get ready for Exchange 2003 migration. Just a tea from Praveen's shop with a cake. Feeling better. I am almost free today as no target for today. Great! Wanted to take a haircut, which I feel bad as I may have to miss my football in the evening. Grrr... I hate to miss evening football. Only lucky few play football in the evening being in IT and Proudly I am one among them :)
