Speaking of Mail

So, FedEx blows. When they shipped my battery, it took like a week for them to even get it on a truck to my city. From California. It seriously sat there for a week “Arrived at FedEx location, Sacramento, CA.” Then, a day later, “Arrived at local FedEx facility, Earth City, MO.” It never even left! Good job, assholes.
And now, they finally shipped my laptop, but FedEx is going to bork something. It says, all of this for today, mind you:
- May 27th - 2:14 AM - Picked up, SHANGHAI, CN.
- May 27th - 2:15 AM - Left origin, SHANGHAI, CN.
- May 27th - 11:57 PM - Picked up, SHANGHAI, CN.
- May 27th - 11:58 PM - Arrived at FedEx location, ANCHORAGE, AK.
- May 27th - 2:08 PM - Left FedEx location, AKCHORAGE, AK.
Look at the times. Yeah, you try figuring that out.
Anyway, in other news I finally bit the bullet and tried to set up my own mail stuff. It wasn’t so bad. I have a pretty nice setup going, using:
- MTA: postfix-2.2.9
- IMAP: dovecot-1.0.b3
- FILTER: postgrey-1.24
- FILTER: anomy-sanitizer-1.71
- FILTER: p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.1
With lots of anti-spam, and goodies like virtual accounts, virtual domains, virtual IMAP accounts, TLS, SSL, SASL. Good stuff. Everything seems to be working okay. Now to figure out how to get my mail out of Gmail.
