DynDNS Client 2.0b1
DynDNS Client - client for several of the free dynamic dns service providers more>>
The client has a setup assistant that will walk you through configuring your client to work with your chosen service.
Each service supports a slightly different feature set, so make sure you register with one that has what you need. Or register with all of them! This client will support an unlimited number of accounts.
This software comes in 2 parts. A faceless background application that your Mac will treat as an extension, and a control panel that serves as its interface. This is an improvement over previous versions of the program where you had to have the status window open all the time. This way the program will only open the interface if it needs to alert you to a problem.
Enhancements:
- A schedule that you can set the times when you want your account to be updated in 15 minute intervals during the week.
DNSUpdate 2.8
DNSUpdate - Client for free DynDNS.org DNS web service. more>>
With DNSUpdate, you can watch at every Internal Interface and also supports Routers (using an external test) and Proxies (without passwords).
Enhancements:
- Universal application and daemon
- Use of Tigers launchd. This makes rebooting after install useless
DNS Enabler 4.0
DNS Enabler is such a marvellous program which lets Mac users set up a fully-functional Domain Name Server on a plain Mac OS X machine with just one click. more>>
DNS Enabler 4.0 is such a marvellous program which lets Mac users set up a fully-functional Domain Name Server on a plain Mac OS X machine with just one click. It is designed to allow a user to set up domain name information quickly using a single window, in the fastest time.
DNS Enabler provides the interface to allow users to specify name-to-address mappings for machines on the Internet, as well as their aliases or MX records (which specify that certain machines act as mail servers for the domain).
Additionally, it allows users to set the other domain and zone information, like the Time-To-Live intervals that determine how long these information remain valid.
It will automatically generate the appropriate named.conf file, the forward mapping files for each domain, the reverse mapping files for each network, and all the resource and reverse pointer records from the specifications entered.
Major Features:
- DNS Enabler for Snow Leopard
- You can now configure DNS Enabler using a non-admin account. Just provide either the full name or the OS X short name of an admin-level user and the administrator's password.
- DNS Enabler now sports a customizable toolbar, containing three panels - the main DNS Enabler domain configuration panel, a panel to set up Bonjour Wide-Area Services, and a Log Panel showing the contents of the named.log.
- You can start, stop, and restart DNS services. And there is a button to reload the data with the settings currently in effect at the server.
- A Basic DNS Configuration for the Local Network
- Scenario : DNS Enabler on a private local network
- Another Scenario : This happens quite often - you may have set up a web or mail server behind a router, broadband modem, or wireless base station when you noticed that machines on the local network cannot "see" the server via its domain name, while machines outside the network can (e.g., you've used dyndns.org or some such service to obtain your own domain name).
- In this case, you can use DNS Enabler to broadcast the domain name to all the local machines (using the simple configuration outlined above) and help them find their way to your server. This has helped many MailServe users who are behind routers that don't know how to route outgoing packets back to an equivalent local IP address (that the public IP address is port-mapped to) and that are also hard to configure, to boot.
- A Configuration for the Public Network
- Scenario : DNS Enabler on a public network. Introducing MX records.
- Across the firewall from the public network, the company runs a private local network (in the 192.168.0.x range). DNS Enabler can handle the setup of the name service for this local network within the same window. Because it is a private network, it can be given any domain name.
- MX records :
- If ISP is provided with a backup mail server in case the whole domain is down, can specify this backup mail server.
- Advanced Configurations: The following screenshot shows DNS Enabler handling the data entry for the domain described in Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu's DNS and BIND book.
- DNS Zone Files: This is the zone file created by DNS Enabler for the above configuration.
- What about MX Records, TXT Records, and Forwarders?
- Setting up a Secondary Name Server: DNS Enabler also allows you to set up a secondary slave name server. In the example below, besides running DNS Enabler on the Primary Name server you can also install it on a Secondary Name Server.
- Bonjour Wide-Area Services: What DNS Enabler saves the user is the need to know the specific syntax to set up SRV and TXT records at the DNS server. All he needs to know is the Bonjour service type, e.g., _http._tcp for publicising web pages (that may be served even from local private networks - you can use the Port number field to publicise a different port other than 80 and port-map that incoming request to a specific local machine) and the domain that will serve that request. The service name is a label that will show up in the Bonjour menu in, say, Safari. And the TXT column contains the path to that specific web page. (The TXT column stores different things for different services. See the cited Bonjour reference).
- The Log Panel: The Log Panel shows the contents of the DNS Server log file at /Library/Logs/named.log, in reverse order, with the latest entries listed first. It also shows the current version number of the name server.
- The Customization Panel: The Customization Panel allows you to re-arrange the DNS Enabler toolbar. For example, if you don't use Bonjour, you can hide the Bonjour button and, consequently, the Bonjour panel.
- De-Installing DNS Enabler
- You can de-install DNS Enabler by using the menu item, shown below, in the Help menu. It will shut down the DNS Server, if it is running, and remove all files installed by DNS Enabler.
- DNS Enabler for Leopard works from its own folder in /usr/local/cutedge/named, in which are stuffed the named.conf and the db files used by DNS Enabler. The original /etc/named.conf and /var/named files are left un-touched by DNS Enabler and so DNS Enabler leaves your system in its original state after de-installation.
IndigoWeb 1.0
IndigoWeb - PHP front-end to controlling the Indigo Home Automation software more>>
I assume you have a router in your intranet that connects your home computers to your ISP (cable modem, dsl, T1)? You will want to go into the settings of your router, which you can usually do by using a web browser to go to 192.168.0.1 (if your network is 192.168.0.*, or the equivalent).
Once in your router, you will setup Port Forwarding. Setup port 80 to point to the intranet IP address of your Mac.
You will then need the public IP of your house. The easy way to get this it to browse to http://whatismyip.com. You can then put this IP Address into any web-browser on the internet and it will go to your house, the router will then route the HTTP request (on port 80) to your mac, which will serve the webpage.
Alternatively, you can get an account at dyndns.org. This allows you to have a fake hostname that will point to your dynamic IP address. Therefore, you can register for something like: yourname.home.org and that will route to your mac.
policyd-weight 0.1.14 Beta 17
Perl policy daemon for the Postfix MTA intended to eliminate forged envelope senders and HELOs more>> Perl policy daemon for the Postfix MTA intended to eliminate forged envelope senders and HELOs
policyd-weight allows you to score DNSBLs (RBL/RHSBL), HELO, MAIL FROM and client IP addresses before any queuing is done. It allows you to REJECT messages which have a score higher than allowed, providing improved blocking of spam and virus mails. policyd-weight caches the most frequent client/sender combinations (SPAM as well as HAM) to reduce the number of DNS queries.
After the first three SMTP commands (HELO, MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO:) the clients IP address, corresponding DNS records (A, MX and PTR) and multiple DNSBLs can be checked, verified and scored. If the client tries to forge headers or supplies non-existent DNS or bogus data the spam score will increase, even more so if the client is listed in one or more DNSBLs.
Such mails can be rejected while in transfer, before the mail body is received by your MTA. This is different from SpamAssassin or amavisd-new: for filtering or scoring with these programs, mail needs to be accepted/queued, CPU-time is wasted, bandwidth is used, and mail cannot be rejected without creating a bounce.
Postfix built-in checks can be too tough for poorly configured clients: one hit, and the mail gets rejected. policyd-weight is designed to be fair (DynDNS MX users get through if their MTA is setup properly, even if their ISP net is DUL-listed), because its decision whether to reject or accept a mail is based on multiple factors.
Of course you should still have SpamAssassin and Clamav running (especially if you are responsible for a companys security and data). But these programs will have a lot less to do and thus decrease the need for bandwidth and CPU cycles.
Also you might not need greylisting (which would make sense for users that receive a lot of new spam, though), SPF, extraordinary whitelists or SQL and other DBs anymore.
Main features:>
- Scored evaluation of RBL/RHSBL results
- Scored evaluation of DNS relationships and correctness of HELO and MAIL FROM arguments (MX, A, subdomains) in respect to Client DNS records (PTR, A, subnets) - weighted by RBL scores. It tries as best as possible to find a DNS wise verified relationship between (Client IP, Hostname) and (HELO or FROM), this travells down to subdomains and subnets
- SPAM Cache for "user@senderdomain.tld-123.123.123.123" hashes (precedence of HAM cache)
- HAM Cache for "senderdomain.tld-123.123.123.123" hashes
- Multirecipient aware
- May be used for "all but some specific user" or "only for specific user" via postfix restriction classes. The same goes for clients.
- Own RBL Lookup routine for very fast and cheap DNS RBL/RHSBL lookups
- Configuration file for own adjustments
- Absolutely no database dependencies. No MySQL either ;-)!
- Fast, optimized perl - designed for large scale environments
- In contrast to postfix reject_rbl_client, reject_rhsbl_client, reject_unknown_* and reject_non_fqdn_helo, one hit must not mean that the client will be rejected
- Bandwidth savings: You are able to reject based on "weights" before the DATA content will be received
- CPU savings: Postfix and after queue content filter have less to do as they operate on full content; policyd-weight doesnt - as it fires in very early at RCPT TO stage
- Other resource savings: queue resources, disc access resources, quarantine space
Enhancements:
- Using File::Spec->canonpath for normalization (trailing slashes): Check ownership of real directories to avoid race attacks for symlinks.
OVH@Home 1.0

MAMP PRO 1.8.2 is such an effective tool that is designed for professional web developers and programmers to allow them to install and administrate their development environment under Mac OS X.
As a professional web developer you have to test your programs in detail. In addition, you need a highly configurable developing environment with all the components also used by most ISPs: Apache, MySQL and PHP in the latest stable versions. No matter whether you want to test your latest Ajax creation, or realize a new page with a Content Management System (CMS): MAMP PRO supports you during the tests of your developments.
You can set up any number of servers to carry out tests without danger for your live system. Besides, the local name resolution is performed by MAMP PRO. To simulate a very authentic environment, the MAMP PRO also switches on the local mail server, so that dispatching mails by PHP scripts is possible.
With MAMP PRO, you can easily connect your local server with an existing Dynamic DNS provider, as for example dyndns.com. Making it very simple to quickly make the results of your work accessible externally for superiors and prospective customers. And because you can set up many virtual hosts, you can easily offer alternative configurations or suggestions.
Major Features:
- Webserver and Virtual Hosts: With MAMP PRO you do not need to edit apache's configuration files any more. With a few mouse clicks you create virtual hosts, that are immediately accessible under an individual domain with custom configurations.
- General Configuration:
- Decide whether to start the servers at system boot or manually.
- Choose a system account to run the servers.
- Choose whether to use standard, well-known ports or custom ports.
- Unlimited Virtual Hosts for unlimited projects:
- Create as much virtual hosts as you need
- Automatic configuration of domain name resolution (either local or via DNS)
- DynDNS support
- Optional: Various advanced configuration options for virtual hosts
- MySQL Configuration
- MAMP PRO uses the MySQL database shipped with MAMP. MySQL is the most common database server used for small web sites as well as complex enterprise products. MAMP is also shipped with the MySQL administration tool "phpMyAdmin" for accessing all your databases stored in the server.
- Thus the maintenance of MAMP's MySQL server is really easy. The configuration options in MAMP PRO mostly target security issues as
-
- MySQL root password
- Log files
- Base configuration of mysqld
- Postfix Email Configuration
- Every Mac running Mac OS X is already equipeped with a fully functional Mail server, which is usually disabled by default. With MAMP PRO you can enable it easily and you're able to use all of PHP's mail funcitonality in your own scripts.
- Domain and Smarthost
-
- Simple activation of the Mac OS X "Postfix" Mailserver
- Use your current Email provider as "Smarthost" if necessary. This allows easy and reliable Email services and avoids problems with spam filters.
- Dynamic DNS
- If you would like to make your MAMP PRO server accessible from the internet, you will need a host name, which refers to the Internet address(IP) of your connection(i.e. DSL). In most cases, the IP will be reset with every connection to your provider.
- Services like DynDNS.com provide a dynamic allocation between your IP and a host name. For this to work, DynDNS.com needs to be informed about your current IP. MAMP PRO can do this for you.
