The mirroring setup is finished. There's a master server now handling dovecot.org and a mirror server handling www/hg/wiki. Would be nice to get another reliable fast mirror server if someone wants to donate one :) Requirements are:
- Apache2 with WSGI
- Mercurial
- Patched moinmoin
- ssh + rsync so I can push changes immediately
I think I had offered you a mirror and/or DNS slaves in the past. ATM we can't manage the Mercurial and moinmoin, but that might change in the near future.
I can still offer you two DNS slaves, if you're interested in that, but there are other free/gratis services available which can do that quite well.
BTW. Apparently there's still something wrong with dovecot.org's reverse DNS record. It appears to be ok, but some DNS servers have cached it wrong. I don't know why. We've complained to the ISP.
Sounds like the TTL was too long before a change was made.
Also dovecot.org is currently sharing IP with some other stuff, but should get its own IP some day.
dovecot.org. 3600 IN A 194.89.34.45 45.34.89.194.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR mkentta.iki.fi. mkentta.iki.fi. 86400 IN A 194.89.34.45
Looks fine, although the PTR is mkentta.iki.fi. and not dovecot.org. I'd use "mkentta.iki.fi" as the HELO name if sending mail from there, but that shouldn't be much of a problem.
At the moment,

It looks like that last one could be the problem.
