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.
Yes, DNS is good enough already with 3 servers in completely different networks (although all of them in Finland, but I doubt the whole Finland drops off the map that easily :)
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.
But there has been no change to it for months! (If not years, I don't know.) So I'm sure the ISP has screwed up something.
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.
Yeah, that'll change back to dovecot.org in near future.
I'd use "mkentta.iki.fi" as the HELO name if sending mail from there, but that shouldn't be much of a problem.
It should be doing that, yes.
