 Thanks Darrell
 
 I just need to finish up my testing and finally recommend a solution.
 
 What would be good, would be a way, proc mail and some other tool.  To
 scan the PDF files of faxes and sort them to different mail boxes or
 folders..

Hi Richard,

RAV automatically scans everything going through the qmail queue, which 
includes incoming faxes received and forwarded to the 'faxmaster' as pdf 
e-mail attachments from my customized version of HylaFAX.

As for sorting the faxes into different mail boxes/folders, easy, use 
procmail and the faxmaster user account.  You can sort via the HylaFAX 
generated subject line which displays the senders fax number.  So if you 
want all faxes coming from a client to go to user Bob you key on the fax 
number and have faxmaster's procmailrc recipes autoforward the fax to 
Bob's e-mail.  You may also wish to keep an archived copy of all incoming 
faxes in ~faxmaster/Mail/recvdfax folder.

Again, all easily done with RAV, HylaFAX, procmail and the approproate 
procmailrc recipes.

Regards,

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] Imap - UID problem

2001-08-03 Thread Michael Doerner

 What client are you using?

Outlook 2000 / Outlook Express latest versions.


 We have experienced this problem for almost a year now.

Does that mean it happens regularly for you (and maybe others?) ?


 Our solution is to mv all the messages to a new folder (Command line mv)
 and
 then re-sync your mail client.  Then on the command line move the messages
 back and re-sync the client again.   This causes it to rebuild it;'s
 index.

It looks to me that I can force it to rebuild it's index also by deleting
the .uidvalidity file but then with one of the next incoming mails, the
problem is there again.

At this stage, I am very frustrated because I just started to use
imap/procmail as a very nice combination plus using webmail when on the road
and an Outlook client at the office (That's just the typical combination for
most of our clients).

As part of my testing, I even tried to setup a new user account ('michaeld'
rather than the old account 'michael') and auto forwarded all of michael's
incoming mails to michaeld ... but even that ended with the same
problems/errors

Anyway, thanks to all of you who tried to help with your experiences and
tips.
At the moment I switched back to pop3 to manage my mails and I will try to
discuss that now with E-smith's support.

Regards,
Michael Doerner

  Update:
 
  I can fix the problem temporarily by deleting that .uidvalidity file but
  very soon after that I keep getting the same problem again, in all

  That means my last night's thoughts what caused it were wrong.
 
  Anybody else who might have some ideas for that?

   Some interesting facts (for Outlook users?) that I found through that:
  
   It happened only in some subdirectories of my imap folders so I had to
   delete the .uidvalidity files in those particular folders.
   Apparently I can recreate the problem when I move mails (in Outlook
 2000)
   from my personal folder into an imap folder BUT ... it seems to have a
   problem only then, when the original mail had gone through an Outlook
 rule
   before!
   After moving such a massaged mail in an imap folder, the
   problem comes up
   again and I have to delete the .uidvalidity file.
   If the mail was not processed by an Outlook rule before, I can easily
 move
   it to an imap folder without creating that problem.
  ..snip..
  
Hi Michael.  Try this:
If the IMAP server detects an external change to the mailbox
the list of message UIDs becomes invalid.  With some clients simply
reopening the IMAP folders will fix the problem, with others,
deleting the .uidvalidity file will solve the problem. - Paul

Quoting Michael Doerner [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
   
   ..snip...

 The clients where I am testing with are Outlook 2000 and Outlook
 Express.
 Outlook will quite often (sorry, don't know exactly at which stage
 or
 for
 which mail) come up with the following error message:

 Your server has reported a UID which does not comply with the IMAP
 standards. This typically indicates a server bug. Your program may
 not
 function properly after this.
 MsgSeqNum 925, New UID 996491787, Prev UID 996518607, Next UID 0.

 And it is not functioning properly after that ...

 Outlook Express doesn't give that sort of error message. Instead
 you
 can't
 open/read the mail. Sometimes it helps to resynchronise (a
   feature that
 Outlook doesn't have at all?) and than you can read the mail
   but that's
 all
 not OK.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] HowTo for using RAV to scan all server files

2001-08-03 Thread Jim Johnson

Thanks for the HowTo Darrell, I was looking for something to do this.

I do have a question for you though.

I setup the script as you show in the HowTo, and did a test run of it.  The
following is what I got:

/etc/cron.daily/ravscan

RAV AntiVirus for Linux i386
Copyright (C) 1996-2001 GeCAD The Software Company All rights reserved.
Searching for engine in '/usr/local/rav8/rave'...
Searching for engine in '/usr/local/rav8'...
Running in evaluation mode.

Scan engine 8.3 for i386
Last Update: Tue Jul 21 09:36:2001
Scanning for 59587 malwares (viruses, trojans and worms).

Scanning with following configuration:
* checking all files!
* checking inside archive files!
* also checking mail files!
* heuristic scanning is activated!
* integrity check is enabled!
* report file was created!

Then it scans the file on the drive and finally I get the message:

Null message body; hope that's ok

My question(s) are:

1 - I do have a registered copy of RAV, but it's running in evaluation mode
(as above). What do I do to let it know it's registered?

2 - Any idea as to why the e-mail is sending a Null message body?

Thanks!

Probably a commandline typo.  Remember commands must be all one line.  
Watch for line wrapping.

All this is doing is reading in the file /root/ravscan.rpt into the

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Imap - UID problem

2001-08-03 Thread Richard Ford

I have also had it with Netscape mail as well.

It happens to me when.


I send an email and then click on my sent items folder.  It will then update
with the new emails (Like the one I just sent).

Now if I go and click back on my inbox before the sent items has finished
updating BINGO!  I can force it everytime.

However in answer to you question.  Yes it happens to me a lot.  Another
developer and my boss and one secretary.  For them and the other times that
I don't 'force' it, I have no idea why it happens.

I have just weighed up costs and benefits and are sticking with IMAP.
However none of our installed clients 50 users have reported a problem?

 I've never used an IMAP server before so I thought that since I now have an

 It immediatly created the Drafts and Sent Items folders and put them in
 /home/e-smith/files/users/joeuser which I thought was a bit weird, (I
 expected them to be in ~/Maildir) but oh well.  I created a couple other
 folders from OE and they also ended up in ~.  Messages are recieved okay and
 can be moved to other folders, so far so good.

 Now the issue I have is with webmail.  When I access this user's mail via
 webmail the extra folders are not visible.  When I create another folder via
 webmail then it ends up under ~/Mail/foldername and although I can see it
 there in OE when I select IMAP Folders and refresh the list, I can't get it
 to display.

 Is this a known problem?  Is there an easy workaround?

[e-smith-devinfo] Alcatel Speed Touch USB (Stingray) and E-Smith

2001-08-03 Thread maverick


Hello all...

I just got my BellSouth.Net ADSL service turned up today and currently have
the (free) Alcatel Speed Touch USB (Stingray) modem...  As much as I hate
it, this will have to be my ADSL modem until I can snag a (Ethernet) Speed
Touch Home from eBay (or somewhere).

My question is, what procedures need to be followed to get this thing
working with E-Smith?  I'm running the latest version (of E-Smith) but
currently don't have any USB devices on the machine or even have the USB
ports plugged in to the motherboard.  When I hook-up my USB ports and turn
them on in the BIOS, will E-Smith pick-up on this and be ready to use them?
(I've never messed with USB in Linux before.)

After following whatever instructions I need to get USB working, how do I go
about getting the USB ADSL modem to work as my 'net connection device in
E-Smith?  I can either use PPPoA or PPPoE to login to BellSouth (it defaults
to PPPoA in Windows).

I have setup a Speed Touch Home on E-Smith in the past - that was easy as it
is an Ethernet device and E-Smith's PPPoE worked flawlessly with it.  How
does it work with a USB modem?

I have looked through the forums for information on this but there really
isn't much in there that talks about initially getting the modem to talk to
Linux (and most of it is about ADSL in France).


Any help and/or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated as I don't want to
use this thing as a USB device on the Windows laptop any longer than I have
to!


Thanks,
 Matt
 Nashville, Tennessee  USA

I used
sysstat-3.3.5-3
rrdtool-1.0.28-1

and installed without any problmes on a 4.1.2 system with all available
updates.

 Nice job, Juan and Jaime. I just installed it, and wanted to say
 thanks, and
 give an update from the last post.

 I can repeat the same error. I used the following files for the install:
 e-smith-monitor_en-1.0-01.noarch.rpm
 rrdtool-1.0.28-1.i386.rpm
 sysstat-3.3.3-3.i386.rpm

 1:
 I first did an rpm -ivh * on the directory where the files were, without
 error

 2:
 Without rebooting, from the admin page, chose system monitor
 At top of page is the message,
   Warning: you have not yet changed the default system password.
 Below that, the page appears, but no graphics are shown, just placeholders
 under each section

 I then did a force re-install:
 [root@e-smith]# rpm --force -ivh e-smith-monitor_en-1.0-01.noarch.rpm
 e-smith-monitor_en
 ##

 Stopping crond: [   OK   ]
 Starting crond:
 3:
 upon refreshing the monitor page, the graphics appear correctly, but the
 password message still appears.
 If I get anything else, I will update. I noticed that your instrucitons
 specify rpm -Uvh and I used rpm -ivh. I am not sure what
 difference that may
 have made tho. I tried a force using that command as well, but no change.

 Other than that I would just caution that the install notes should specify
 the version of rrd  should only use the rrdtool-1.0.28-1.i386.rpm, since
 later versions have additional dependencies.

[e-smith-devinfo] Working around SSL problem in Netscape - [Re: After update to 4.1.2 no https access]

2001-08-03 Thread Wayne Bollinger

This used to happen to all of my Netscape users everytime I did
something in the ES admin manager that caused the security certificate
to get regenerated - and there seem to be several admin options that do
just that when you don't expect it.  They'd all have to manually delete
all of their ourdomain.org certificates, and it was very frustrating. 
Didn't happen to Internet Explorer users...

I now work around this by using a restore_ssl script that I run as
root every time the security certificate gets regenerated.  It restores
the cert and key files from saved copies and then restarts Apache:

  #!/bin/bash

  cd /home/e-smith/ssl.crt

  cp -p secure.ccsmail.org.crt.saved secure.ccsmail.org.crt

  cd /home/e-smith/ssl.key

  cp -p secure.ccsmail.org.key.saved secure.ccsmail.org.key

  echo SSL certificate restored.

  cd /etc/rc.d/init.d/
  ./httpd-e-smith restart

  echo Web server restarted.

  exit 0

Works for me, and should keep us going until the 1 year lifetime of our
current certificate expires.  Hope this helps,

-Wayne

 It only affects Netscape and Opera browser and not the IExplorer as the

 described. So, I guess it is not a problem of the server than the client.
 To solve that problem for Netscape 4.76 do:
 
 Communicator -- Tools -- Security Info
 Certificates -- Web Sites
 There mark all saved certificates corresponding with your E-Smith Server and
 delete them.
