SMP PowerMacs are also expensive. In any case, Linux doesn't support SMP on a very wide range of PowerPC hardware. -- Joel Espy Klecker Debian GNU/Linux Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.espy.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

smail vs sendmail, fetchmail, K6 processor
As the subject says - different topics. I have tried to configure both smail and sendmail without to much luck. What I want is that local mail stays local and remote mail is send when I via PPP connects to the Internet. If I choose option 1 in smailconfig and answer the questions (the way I think they should be answered) then at some point I can see that mail for root will be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my ISP) which is definitely not what I want. When I invoke fetchmail I get a time out when the mail is actually transfered, if I use mail retriving from Netscape I don't get the time out. What to do? I think I heard at some point that you can't have two K6's on the same board is that true? Karsten Bolding -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: smail vs sendmail, fetchmail, K6 processor
Ciao, be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my ISP) which is definitely not what I want. I'm using smail on a hamm system. I configured smail with 1, giving the mail host of my ISP as smart host. I also have a visible name different from the name of my machine (that is the domain name of outgoing mail will match my real email address). The only thing I had to change is to take out the visible_name (it works as a masquerade name) from the hostnames since I want to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that are not on my system. A part from that smail is doing is job beautyfully ... When I invoke fetchmail I get a time out when the mail is actually transfered, if I use mail retriving from Netscape I don't get the time out. What to do? What do fetchmail -v say? Which is the host that fetchmail trying to contact? graziano -- Chiu' scuru di menzannotti non po fari -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
