# 󠀁[Visibility into WordCamp.org mail failures](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2016/08/20/visibility-into-wordcamp-org-mail-failures/)󠁿

Right now I’m blind to any errors that occur with messages sent from the WordCamp.
org web server. This week there was [a Core bug](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37736)
that resulted in many (most?) messages being rejected by the receiving MTA, but 
I didn’t know for several days, until the reports started coming in from users and
the CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development
Team builds WordPress. bug was discovered.

I think two things would help resolve this, but I’m open to whatever suggestions
you have.

1) Set the Envelope-FROM to bounce@word**camp**.org instead of bounce@word**press**.
org. I’ve already setup the address.
 2) Grant read access to mail.* in the logs
directory

Thanks!

# 󠀁[There are no cache instructions…](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2016/08/16/there-are-no-cache-instructions-2/)󠁿

There are no cache instructions on mp4s on the CDN, could you please add some on?

    ```notranslate
    curl -I https://s.w.org/images/core/4.6/streamlined-updates.mp4
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Content-Type: video/mp4
    Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:13:27 GMT
    Last-Modified: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:58:26 GMT
    Server: nginx
    X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
    X-nc: MISS lax 186
    Content-Length: 225101
    ```

Looks like webm has them:

    ```notranslate
    curl -I https://s.w.org/images/core/4.6/streamlined-updates.webm
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Cache-Control: max-age=315360000
    Content-Type: video/webm
    Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:14:11 GMT
    Expires: Thu, 31 Dec 2037 23:55:55 GMT
    Last-Modified: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 12:58:26 GMT
    Server: nginx
    X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
    X-nc: HIT lax 186
    Content-Length: 449672
    ```

For 4.6 we don’t use ogv but 4.3 had one:

    ```notranslate
    curl -I https://s.w.org/images/core/4.3/formatting.ogv
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:09:55 GMT
    Last-Modified: Wed, 29 Jul 2015 16:49:59 GMT
    Server: nginx
    X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
    X-nc: MISS lax 186
    Content-Length: 1939540
    ```

The content type should probably be `video/ogg`.

Just a heads up that we’re planning to release a new major releaseMajor Release 
A set of releases or versions having the same major version number may be collectively
referred to as “X.Y” -- for example version 5.2.x to refer to versions 5.2, 5.2.1,
and all other versions in the 5.2. (five dot two dot) branch of that software. Major
Releases often are the introduction of new major features and functionality. today,

Low prio request: Can we prevent direct access to PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym 
for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting
language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into 
HTML. [https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php)
files in the wp-content directory?

I originally noticed this for wp-themes.com. [@dd32](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dd32/)
suggested to return “a 403 for `^http://wp-themes.com/wp-content/(.+).php$` but 
the rest of wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is
created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code 
for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community
conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/)
could benefit of the same restriction.

# 󠀁[Hello, is it possible to…](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2016/08/16/hello-is-it-possible-to/)󠁿

Hello, is it possible to svn up the `/home/wporg/public_html/` directory on all 
sandboxes?

There was a change in coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.
The Core Development Team builds WordPress. to `WP_Site` which got reverted later.
A sandbox which still has the old `WP_Site` will pollute the cache with a broken
object which ends in a site_id = 0 entry in the database and making the site inaccessible.

See https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core-multisite/p1467394608000460 for background.
