newLISP newS / newLISP Github?
Last post by itistoday - May 25, 2023, 06:27:23 PM
I noticed that there's an empty newlisp organization on Github: https://github.com/newlisp

Anyone know whose this is?

It seems like a good idea to get the source up and running on Github, and maybe now is a good time for someone in the community to step up as a maintainer and do that.

Indeed it doesn't seem to have helped. But I guess it was worth a try.  :)

newLISP in the real world / A couple of newlisp projects
Last post by rrq - May 22, 2023, 05:55:43 PM
Thanks @itistoday!! Great to be at a new forum home.

Here's a pointer to a few of my newlisp projects

Most of them are functional, but generally they are for fun.

Ah I see what you're saying!

OK, so yes, as I mentioned the rDNS for the mail server is correctly setup to point to the mail server's domain.

However the rDNS for the machine hosting this website doesn't currently point to anything as you pointed out. So yes that's something I can fix - just did that. I don't know how long it takes to propagate, but hopefully should be showing newlispfanclub.com soon. We'll see if that helps with @gmail.com. (EDIT: I will be surprised if it does, because it's a completely different IP from the IP that Gmail sees for the mail server.)

Still, it's very common for one machine to host dozens of domains, and per-machine the rDNS can only point to one of those domains. So this isn't something Google should be checking for when handling email.

Proper spam prevention should not rely on such things IMO, but rather they should use machine learning / deep learning to classify messages. I'm honestly surprised and disappointed that we don't have a good open source solution to this yet.

Eh? Doesn't your ISP provide rDNS setup?

EDIT: it's not related to email as such, and I agree that setting up your own MTA would be too much.

EDIT 2: not sure if relevant:
