setup domainkeys with postfix and freebsd on a jail
How to setup domainkeys for yahoo on freebsd 7.3 (I'm sure it works with older versions of freebsd) on postfix 2.7. This may seem long but it works! It's not that long of a process...
Fist, Install postfix and configure. This is a very basic setup, I'll have a more advanced postfix install in the near future.
cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix
make install clean
cd /etc
ln -s /usr/local/etc/postfix postfix
cd /etc/postfix
vi main.cf
// change the following
/////////////////////////////////////
myhostname = mail1.domain.com
mydomain = mail1.domain.com
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = 56.56.56.56
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
mynetworks = 56.56.56.56,127.0.0.1
install dkfilters
cd /usr/ports/mail/dkfilter
make install clean
//Setting up the outbound filter
/////////////////////////////
Generate a private/public key pair using OpenSSL:
cd /usr/local/etc/
openssl genrsa -out private.key 1024
openssl rsa -in private.key -pubout -out public.key
start up dkfilters, don't forget to change IP 56.56.56.56 to your own IP
/usr/local/bin/dkfilter.out --keyfile=/usr/local/etc/private.key --selector=selector1 --domain=mail1.domain.com --method=nofws 56.56.56.56:10027 56.56.56.56:10028 &
add to master.cf, 2nd line if a jail server

SEO Traffic tip #8
Try this page titles experiment.
Here's a good way increase your traffic.
Go to Google and type any phrase into the search box. Look at the titles of the websites in the top 10 rankings.
Which ones catch your eye and tempt you to click on the link? Some are dreadfully stodgy, boring. Some are merely a long list of keywords. Some are good. Some are junk.
Good titles are written for search engines AND humans.
Now look at the titles on your site. Start with your most important pages. Rewrite them to make them more eye-catching.
Now go to Google and do a search of your site like this...
site:example.com
Study the page titles. If you own a large site created over many years, you may be horribly embarrassed at just how BAD some of your page titles are.
Do you want to find some examples of good titles? Simply go to Google and do some more searches. Don't stick to your industry.
Type in all sorts of different phrases and study the titles that appear in the top 10.
You'll soon be brimming with ideas on ways you can improve your page titles.
Checking how enticing the information is in your meta description tag can help, too. Some search engines display this information in their search results.
If you have a well established site, you may have written many of your page titles and meta descriptions years ago when you knew less about marketing than you do now. If so, it's time for another look at them.
