  • Basically, everyone is getting fed up of trying to work out what's bad so they can block it. The bad shit looks so good, they end up blocking good shit. DMARC helps turn that on it's head and allows you to categorically dictate what is good and tell receivers to bin everything else.

  • @Pifko : meh, I've got kids. Their disappointment in me is so great that random internetters have no affect.

    @amey: is this direct experience of the new stuff? my old ones have lasted years (2 i think, but they all wear in the same place on the sole)

  • I've had a fair bit of PX/One One merino and about half has shrunk. I had a pair of socks come out of a wash with one shrunk and one not.

  • I got some Planet X thickies for commuting. Two packs last about 12 months commuting two hours a day. All I can say is I never thought about them, which I guess is a compliment.

  • Yer boots. Fill them.

    Carefully. If you are not totally and absolutely 100% sure who sends emails using a particular domain (or even if anyone does or does not use subdomains) then exercise extreme caution.

  • 1 - thanks for considered response so quickly

    Brief summary of situation. We are a small business and muggins here is responsible for IT among other things, I am no more than a knowledgeable amateur though so I just manage providers.

    Exchange server based in UK and colleagues abroad use outlook client and the HTTP anywhere method to have email connectivity.

    Colleague in Malaysia - emails are getting rejected as spam by a recipient company . their implementation of spamtitan is scoring my colleague'e emails 5.5 and therefore blocking them.. This is a problem as its legitimate email traffic.

    Doing a bit of digging - our exchange server has SPF but not DKIM or DMARC.

    So what I am trying to understand is whether getting our IT supplier to implement DKIM and DMARC solves the problem.

  • re: on one / planet x merino.
    It's the new stuff I'm asking about
    https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLROYCAR/carnac-merino-cycling-socks-made-in-uk

    and these
    https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLCARDISCS/carnac-diamond-sorbtek-cycling-socks

    they look fucking grim, but for commuting.

  • They should certainly be able to set up DKIM for you, which can't hurt. But not if it's Exchange on prem as it's not supported.

    I doubt they will offer to "do DMARC" beyond adding a p=none policy to DNS as that involves dealing with third parties and everything else.

  • Why do you want to give PX your money?

  • Yes my PX thickies have borne up well too

  • Can you please buy me 2 of the 8 quid stainless bottle cages :)
    I don't want to pay postage

  • Why do I want to give anyone my money?

  • Not tried them. Socks are socks IMO. Especially for commuting. Just wear any socks NOT FUCKING RuGBY SOCKS THO

  • Defeet Woolie Boolie. NEXT!

  • We all know the pain of buying from PX.
    "i'll never do it again. OOOH 4 pairs of socks for a tenner. that's a deal"

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

  • Thanks for your help - having quickly scanned an email authentication white paper from Cisco I have realised I am rapidly getting out of my depth - time to for me to obtain some paid advice me thinks.

  • My invoice is in the post

  • 'cos fucked if I'm using email....

  • PX thickies are great, no idea about those other ones though.

  • Same. At least with the thinnies, which seem wildly inconsistent. I have thickies 4-5 years old still going strong.

  • Thinnies are shite, nice and all but last no time at all.

  • Pequod Pizza.......very good indeed

  • Half mine were nice but fragile, the other half felted/shrank immediately and were henceforth indestructible. They also definitely reduced the wool content at some point because new ones started stinking like plastic socks.

  • Best cable disc brake calipers to use with campagnolo levers?

    I seem to remember @andyp mentioning something about his set up on a cross bike but it's so vague he may have been talking about cantis
