Re: [gentoo-user] how to archive all mail?

Personally, I don't like this at all, but he has right to do this (at least according to our law)... Now he wants me to set this up, but frankly, I do not know how (I'm using sendmail as MTA). Could someone give me some hint? Use MailScanner ( http://www.mailscanner.info ). It's a spam/virus filter in addition, but will also give you the functionality you are looking for. During configuration you just set the deliver actions for the various detections to deliver *and* forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] Plus you can implement spam filtering and virus filtering at the same time.

Try googling for archiving outgoing mail with sendmail. Heh, good luck with that, I was lucky in that I was using MailScanner for spam/virus filtering before I was asked to implement this, so the implementation was easy. MailScanner has the added advantage that you can tell it only to archive messages not marked as spam, so you don't have to weed through that junk as well if you don't need to. It's a good solution for this problem. Try it. Christopher Fisk -- Loosely confederate colors of Benetton cBlog: http://chris.uasoft.com/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] OT: disk full but lot of space
On Mon, 8 Aug 2005, Christoph Gysin wrote: Check your temp partitions... What makes you believe this has something to do with /tmp? Just curious... He didn't read the whole message, saw disk full and said oh, his temp partition is overflowing. The correct answer here is that you have to do an fsck. The best solution is to just be at the console of the machine, where you can boot into single user mode and run the fsck. If that is not an option you'll need to make sure everyone is off the machine (Maintenance window?), stop all the services except the network services and sshd then remount the partition readd only and run the fsck. quick rundown of commands: rc-update show /etc/init.d/service stop #for each non-repair essential service ps auwx #to verify that all the services are stopped that need to be mount -o remount,ro / fsck.ext3 /dev/hdxy mount -o remount,rw / /etc/init.d/services start #for each service you stopped At the end of this I really prefer doing a reboot (And fsck may tell you a reboot is required). Might want to test the procedure a few times on a non-critical machine, but that should get you through the process.

The system couldn't write from 3 AM to 8 AM, after that, It was ok again. That's why I'm not really enthousiast to tune my fs. If it's not broken, don't fix it. But it is broken... I would take to system down, check the filesystems, repair them (if needed), recover lost data from backups and get up and running again. Yes, I would do that too, if I could :-( Read my other post about how to do this remotely. Things are a little more complicated for you, since you don't seem to have full access to the machine. Talk to your vendor/sysadmin who is responsible for the (physical) machines. I'm not familiar with your particular situation... I've attached the output of e2fsck -n. Could you please tell me how bad it looks? Are there questions to which answering yes is dangerous? Disclaimer: You should have backups of the system! I've found that fsck is actually pretty damn good at being safe. I've never had fsck fail to repair a non-hardware filesystem corruption. The most likely thing you'll need to do after a repair here is to reboot the machine, which is the sweating time. If you can possibly get someone onsite from that office to watch the reboot you should be fine.
