Re: amavisd-new spamcontroll problem
What is amavisd-new? Amavisd-new is a high-performance interface between mailer (MTA) and content checkers: virus scanners, and/or SpamAssassin. It is written in Perl for maintainability, without paying a significant price for speed. It talks to MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or by using helper programs. Best with Postfix, fine with dual-sendmail setup and Exim v4, works with sendmail/milter, or with any MTA as a SMTP relay. The best thing in Amavisd-new is that it has SpamAssassin integrated. In the case of Postfix you can only have one additional transport method defined. If you used this method only for anti-virus filtering with amavisd (or amavis-perl) you could implement anti-spam filtering as Simple content filtering described in FILTER_README file.

Since cups is dynamically linked to the old version of the library, and no intervening actions have been made to point it to the right library, it barfs when you try to run it because a library it requires at runtime is missing. I think the best solution at this point would be to rebuild cups from the ports tree so it will link to the correct gnutls library. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I haven't found any printer that really works well with envelopes (unless you count some Pitney Bowes printers that are designed specifically for printing high volumes of flyers, envelopes and brochures). An original Apple Stylewriter 1200 was exceptional at envelopes. The printer most closely resembled the wringer on my grandmother's classic Maytag washer when I was a kid. Straight path, no bend, printer was about 3 thick. Have been feeding about 1500 envelopes per year between a pair of HP-990 and HP-970 inkjets. The older 970 is faster but doesn't fully release the envelope on eject and will wad it up if one doesn't pull it out before the next starts. The 990 often pauses before starting, then spends extra time with optical sensors looking for page edges. And about half the time pulls a #10 envelope thru cocked at an angle. I use them anyway. Recently the 990 feed screwed up to the point it was not usable. Took it out to the garage and blew it out with compressed air. Didn't find any smoking guns so I didn't have much hope, but that did the trick. Have not been terribly happy with HP inkjets and my statement above is based on the apparent observation the HP inkjet crew has been designing lasers lately. I have an HP Photosmart 7360 that I like, largely because I don't use it very much, and it's designed so that it can through long periods of inactivity without clogging the nozzles. In the HP print driver there is an option deep in the settings for black only. The default setting mixes color with black to print text. Black text looks awful if the color cartridge is empty, but perfectly good if you select the black only option. One thing I'm not happy about is that the printer flat out won't work without a color cartridge, no matter that I'm only printing black. Had an empty color cartridge go bad and the printer quit. Since then I've collected empties from friends to keep around so that the printer will still run if it decides the color cartridge must be replaced again. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book.

Nvidia 8800 GTS
Hello folks, I've bought a Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB DDR and i'm trying to get it working with freebsd. I've installed Xorg 7.2 and the nvidia driver. The driver detects the card correctly and displays the card info correctly. When I launch Xorg with the nvidia driver I get a striped green screen and the machine freezes completely. I can't see any X logs because it crashes immediately. Anyone got lucky installed one of these 8800 cards? Thanks in advance!
