[OT] MTA for home network
I've just finished setting up my a server for my home network. Fetchmail downloads all messages from pop3 server of my ISP - postfix sends received data to maildrop - finally messages got to my courier IMAP server. That's my server mail delivery scheme. On my workstation I recompiled mutt with imapssl support. Reading mail is fine, but when I want to send a message mutt shows me error 127 - from my previous experience it means that sendmail binary is not found (and that's absolutely correct, it's not installed :) ) I need your advice: what MTA shall I install for that easy task of sending outgoing mail to postfix running on my local server? Sure thing, I don't want any sendmail/qmail/postfix for that, but I've seen several minimalistic servers on freshmeat - perhaps someone could gimme a piece of advice on that issue? -- Oleg Kourapov | Linux user #245698 http://counter.li.org Moscow, RU| LFS user #1212 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org -- Yesterday is a memory.

Internal archive viewer (MC-like)?
I wonder is it possible to add Midnight Commander-like view-inside archive functions to mutt? I have .mailcap lines for all archive types but it lets me view lists of files, not more. It could be achived by invoking mc with tar:archive name parameter, but I'd like to know if there are any specialized (read: not 'swiss army knife'-like but only capable of this job) console archive viewers suitable for this purpose? FYI, I need it to view zipped Excel tables using xls2html convertor - I receive lots of this stuff and wish to have a way to see zip contents on a here-and-now basis, without saving anything to disk - it gets full of huge evil-format files and I really hate it this way :( So I wish to have a setup like this: mutt - [interactive arc. viewer] - xls2html - lynx. -- Oleg Kourapov | Linux user #245698 http://counter.li.org Moscow, RU| LFS user #1212 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org -- Yesterday is a memory.

Re: Internal archive viewer (MC-like)?
How about a script that'll dump the files to /tmp, ask you to choose which one you wanted to see, pipe that one to xls2html|lynx, and then clean after itself?

Mailing list replies
I wonder, what option in my .muttrc shall I use to make mutt reply lists like mutt-users properly, i.e. set To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], not To: user_who_sent_original@message. I compiled my .muttrc of several example configs available on the net, but mostly it is derived from http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/downloads/dot.muttrc. Perhaps it should be not To:, but Cc/Bcc: - I don't know. Or maybee mutt shall use To:, Mail-Followup-To: or Sender: header fields to get mailing list address - no ideas here. P.S. Maybee my Mutt is too selective when it comes to ignored header fields? Here are my ignore/unignore lines, hope this will help: ignore * unignore from: date subject to cc reply-to: unignore organization organisation unignore user-agent: x-agent: x-mailer: x-newsreader: unignore newsgroups: posted-to: x-spam-rule: P.P.S. If somebody is willing to help, I can send my whole .muttrc here. -- Oleg Kourapov | Linux user #245698 http://counter.li.org Moscow, RU| LFS user #1212 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org -- Yesterday is a memory.

Yep, now I got it right, thnx. That's just because I'm subscribed to another mail list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) using Listar (it has different header format) and when I want to post a reply, I can press 'r', it will set To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] line properly. Now I see that list-reply thingie in help. all you need is something like this: ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribe mutt-users (which like i said, it looks like you probably already have). Yes, it's subscribed, here is a part of my .muttrc: lists `cd ~/mail/lists echo *` subscribe `cd ~/mail/lists echo *` mailboxes `for file in ~/mail/lists/*; do echo -n +lists/$(basename $file) ; done` I save all messages from different mail lists to separate mailboxes in my ~/mail/lists directory using procmail, so I don't have to change anything when I subscribe or unsubscribe - cool, huh :) -- Oleg Kourapov | Linux user #245698 http://counter.li.org Moscow, RU| LFS user #1212 http://www.linuxfromscratch.org -- Yesterday is a memory.
