Apparently radix.website, the registry for the tld .space deactivated my domain because of a spam report. Now I really would like to know what happened. I have only one server which sends out mails and this server is not an open relay, has only a couple of users and each one with a unique and complex password. Thus I doubt they got phished. Other servers have mailing-software running but not exposed to the outside. And the mail-server is an OpenBSD-server that gets all the updates asap (it is already on 6.3 which got released yesterday). So I have no idea what happened there. And that they deactivated the whole domain because of the spam-report means for me that I will get rid of it and need to get something from a more sane registrar. Luckily I have a different domain for my servers than for my public stuff. Thus I could reconfigured the domain of my mail-server and was able to receive and send mail again. This all happened btw on the night from Maundy Thursday to Good Friday. So I only noticed it pretty late and get bad support times. In addition the Whois-entry still works and the delegated nameservers have the correct entries. My service provider wasn’t notified at all. So it was hard to figure out what happened to my domain.

A reminder: do backup your data. You never know what might happen.
30 minutes from setting the downtimes until both OpenBSD-servers were updated to 6.3 incl all packages. Nice. Only IPv6 does not work as expected. I have to look into that.
And yes, OpenBSD 6.3 got released :)
grep comes really from ed (g/re/p) but sed is the stream editor and is based on qed (quick editor) and ed.
The names of grep (g/re/p) and sed (s/ed) do not really come from ed, do they? Oo
I can recommend Michael W Lucas new book Ed Mastery. Once I had only /bin available and vi was in /use/bin. I wish I had read that book before. Ed is more useful than I thought.
Woohoo, mail works again :) (Even though my domain is not fixed yet… :/ )
Next years April Fools-joke: moving editors around and linking things like vi, vim, nano, emacs et al to ed on selected servers
I don’t know how and why but DNS is utterly broken for my domains. And it even doesn’t matter which dns-servers are responsible. One domain is on Cloudflare and adding a new subdomain doesn’t do anything :(
