I have cyrus-imapd 1.5.19, procmail, and postfix 19990317 build. I have
just changed to cyrus from wu imapd.
How do I get procmail to work with cyrus? I've tried a short progie
called "deliver-wrapper" as the action line in my .procmailrc, but it
doesn't work if the mail is handled by the MTA. And you can't call the
cyrus deliver program directly
The .procmailrc works properly, if I run procmail directly, e.g.,
procmail < testmsg.txt
but when mail comes in through postfix, it doesn't get distributed
through the system.
I also looked at a page on getting this to work with sendmail, but
sendmail and postfix don't exactly configure the same way.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a modem in my Win98 pc, and it is connected to the internet. On the
Windows side, you have to assign an IP address to the TCP/IP bound to your
nic card, as well as a gateway for the other machines.
I'm currently responding to this post using my RH linux machine, with
Pine, so I know it works, and I used the same web url as listed below.
You may need to check your configuration settings in the network
neighborhood, as well as verify you have entered the IP addresses of the
other machines in your c:\windows\hosts.sam (or hosts) file.

You have to get IPMASQADM (if not included in your distribution - simply do
a search for it on WWW)
Be sure to compile all necesary things into your kernel (masquerading,
firewalling, etc),
and the module ip_masq_autofw is loaded (if not compiled into your kernel
too !).
Then do a
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 6112 6112 -h 192.168.1.2
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r udp 6112 6112 -h 192.168.1.2
where 6112 is the port battle.net is using and 192.168.1.2 should be
replaced with your
local IP to forward to .
For information bout forwarding of other gameports take a look at

Could solve this by deactivating the Plug & Play - function on th card

I'd considered this, though I wanted to avoid it as I

Ah. I actually am running my own caching DNS (though
I haven't gotten around to setting up ipchains yet.
Could it be that what's happening is that it tries
to resolve the waiting mails before a connection to
demon's dns is established?
Is it essential to firewall my dns? It's not a service
I would have thought likely to be accessed by outside
domains?

I don't believe so. I get exactly the same results when I
run the command in a shell script as root, yet it works
perfectly well if I type it in.
Those enviroment variables are a serious pain in the arse
though. They've caught me out umpteen times in the past.
I'll read the man page again, see if I'm missing anything
obvious.

Just to make sure.
Did you do 'make modules' and 'make modules_install' in /usr/src/linux
after compiling the kernel

Reply-To: "mikes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have a solution that worked for at least one of my Linux machines (my
modemless SMB server). I found out that that getty (or is it uugetty?) had a
problem with case sensitivity.
In Paul Sery's Linux Network Toolkit (ISBN 0-7645-3146-8) page 498 says to
add:
s0:3456:respawn:/sbin/uugetty ttyS0 3840 vt100
That line will cause respawning errors until you correct it. It should
read:
s0:3456:respawn:/sbin/uugetty ttyS0 3840 VT100
Note the caps in VT100.
According to the Howto:
http://www.yggdrasil.com/bible/HOWTO-src/Serial-HOWTO.html#toc1 It suggests
in part 15.3 that "Using the wrong syntax or device names will cause serious
problems"
Now.. if I can only get the same solution worked out for my firewall. My
firewall is a 486/DX2-66 w/ 510M HDD 32M RAM, and an internal USR 28800
modem. Even though I correct the line in the /etc/inittab file, I still get
respawn errors Section 15.3 of the aforementioned Howto suggests "Make sure
your modem is configured correctly"
Any suggestions here? Can I initialize a modem during boot???

I've posted various forms of this question on 5 groups, but no one has
answered yet. I need someone to help me get Linux-Mandrake running KDE or
GNOME on the Internet. They say L-M is very much like RH so please don't
think you can't help just because you don't run Mandrake!
(this is copied from comp.os.linux.networking)
Hi,
I need some assistance with kppp. I set my connections up using linuxconf.
Kppp will dial the modem (Creative Labs Modem Blaster) and start to log in,
but in the end it reports:
"Error
Timeout expired while waiting for the PPP interface to come up!"
Additionally, I think it's a problem with kppp (I'm not sure though),
because when I use the connect in linuxconf it doesn't complain. But I don't
know how to test that to make sure (I've only had it installed for 3 days)
I'm using Linux-Mandrake 6.0
I don't have to use kppp, but what else am I going to do? I tried using
minicom, and I think it worked, but I couldn't get Netscape or any thing
else to work.
I'm also having trouble with floppies. When I try to mount one (or do
anything with it, for that matter) I get the message "Error: you must
specify a filesystem type" but Linux mandrake comes with controls that are
supposed to auto mount and auto detect the filesystem type.
If there's any one who has successfully used Linux-Mandrake or Red Hat (or
just KDE or GNOME) to connect to the Internet and other basic things
(mounting floppies, CD, zip
drives, setting up Ethernet (Samba), adding and removing programs), that
would be willing to correspond with me, I'd REALLY appreciate it.
Thank in advance.

I have a small network, which has my Win98 webserver connected to the

Using fetchpop, I am able to get my mail with some pretty fancy help from

Perhaps this method would suit your needs?

Subject: IP Masq and ICQ Chat
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 11:59:15 +0100
I am running a router with IP masquerading on my LAN. I know it doesnt
work with ICQ filetransfer (downloading to me) but I am also having
problems sometimes with the ICQ chat system especially if its with more
than one person.
It seems to timeout and so tells me people have gone off the chat when
they have not. Other times when joining or starting a chat some people
will NEVER show up yet other people on the chat can see them. If I
cannot see someone they cannot see me either and it appears to be
trouble with the way ICQ does a direct connection.
Other times it works fine though and recently and had a chat with 7
other people (the most I ever I have done) and it worked perfectly.
Is this a problem with my router setup or with my ISP being too slow as
it often lags and stalls doing normal Internet stuff like Web Surfing or
FTP.
If its a problem with my router could you give me some suggestions on
how to fix it, the ICQ kernel patch wouldnt compile for me so thats not
really an option unless you can tell me how to get it working under
Slackware 4.0 (Kernel 2.2.6).
Thankyou for your help,
Alex.

Yep, I did those two. The modules are in the correct place
(/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/net) and are loaded when the ppp starts up (lsmod
reports slhc and ppp), and the ppp connection works fine (I'm using it for
this). I'm really quite stumped as to what is going on. Does anyone know
what the significance of the numbers after the "ppp0:" is? I assume this is
just attempt number.
Maybe I'll just upgrade the kernel to 2.2.10 and see if it goes away....???
BTW, thanks for the reply.

I have a RedHat6.0 DNS server with 3 NIC, one to the internet, one to our

I also put

Try to run Kernel 2.2.10 . 2.2.5 seems to have many bugs. (aha1542 and
isdn.o never work
together ...)

Subject: Installing an ethernet card
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 07:12:02 -0400
Greetings -
I am a linux novice trying to install an ethernet card in a linux machine.
The hardware is a "thelinuxstore.com" pre-install machine with Red Hat 6.0.
The network card is an Addtron AEF-360TX (PCI).
I've installed the card, and have a light on both the card and the hub.
During Boot-Up it tries to initialize or recognize the card and reports
"Failed". I've tinkered with ifconfig and some of the control panel-type
utilities, but I'm getting nowhere. I'm blundering around in there like a
bull in a china shop, and something may break soon!
Is that card even supported? Should I be using a certain tool or procedure
to initialize the interface? Do I need some type of driver specific to the
card? Many thanks in advance!

The firewall isn't to protect DNS, it's to prevent access by your
internal machine/network. The reason I do it is to speed things up
when I'm not connected to the Internet. If DNS is running all the
time, some applications pause while a DNS lookup times out. By
using the following two commands:
/sbin/ipchains -D input -j REJECT -p udp -d gammon domain
/sbin/ipchains -I input -j REJECT -p udp -d gammon domain
I effectively turn off DNS (it's the same as stopping then
starting, only quicker) and it preserves some cached DNS data which
also speeds things up later on (gammon is the gateway machine).

I use dhcpd from www.isc.org on a Linux box, a NT40 server and a lot of
Win95 clients. Everithing is fine except I don't know how to set WINS
server via DHCP for Win95 clients.
