Back as never before with this new blog. Upcomming weeks a lot of news, cool stuff and hacks will be posted here! I’m full with ideas and supported by many of you who e-mail me with secrets and hacks. Last christmas ‘Cuteboy E***’ sent me links to: Gira Beta presentation, framework, documentation and examples of [...]
I had an issue where the MDaemon Mailserver’s Spam Filter was not learning new Spam or Ham. Currently running an evaluation version of MDaemon v16.0.1 but seen this before on v13, v14 and v15 :) […]
I repaired a broken Samsung TV (UE55ES8000) last month, however the same instructions should apply to other Samsung models. The TV made a ‘clicking sound’ all the time and couldn’t turn ON or OFF. The screen stayed black. My first thought was the Power board, a dried capacitor, a (physical) broken part on it or [...]
I needed a proper roof ventilation to cool my server room. Noice (dB) and power usage are the most important factors for me. I tested many options and finally bought a Zehnder/StorkAir MX110 Fan. This fan is really quiet, has low power usage and you can buy these quite cheap [...]
I recently build an Out-of-Band (OOB) management network for Utrecht University with Moxa Terminal servers (CN2610-16-2AC). The Moxa Terminal servers had all RJ45 (serial) ports. However, connecting it with a normal network cable, a cross-cable cable or a Rollover cable didn’t work. I found the pinout and made a drawing of it in case you [...]

Today I noticed that some Windows 7 clients had problems to connect using Cisco’s AnyConnect VPN Client (SSL-VPN). After a few hours troubleshooting we noticed that Windows Update KB2585542 was causing the problem. The clients were not even able to see the website (on a Cisco Router) which hosts the Anyconnect client installer. When trying [...]
In IIS7 and IIS7.5 which runs on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, it is not possible to use the WebDav PUT command without ‘authentication’. This is a problem for your Avaya VOIP phones. Avaya uses the PUT command to backup a phone configuration and to store contacts. Now, there are 3 possible [...]
I wrote some scripts to migrate from IPSwitch IMail 2006 (IMail 9) to MDaemon 11.0.3. Because IMail and MDaemon have some differences in logic, I cut my migration into several parts. Below you’ll find a step-by-step IMail to MDaemon migration including the scripts I used/wrote! […]
