Hi all,
I have a working Postfix Mailserver with maildrop installed. This mailserver
is setup for virtual accounts. I would like to filter incoming mail using
maildrop at the server. I followed all the docs that I could find out on the
net concerning this setup. What I have done so far is.
Created a .mailfilter in the /home/vmail file that points to the
.mailfilters
file.
less .mailfilter
xfilter /usr/local/bin/spamc
# Check for user defined filter file
exception {
logfile $HOME/.maildrop.log
include $HOME/mailfilters/$LOGNAME
}
In my $HOME/mailfilters//$LOGNAME/ , I have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailfilter
file that looks like this.
if (/^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
{
exception {
to $DEFAULT/.Comcast/
}
}
All messages sent here does not go into the .Comcast folder but in my inbox.
I
also do not get any entires in the maildrop.log that i setup. Does anyone
have this setup and working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
include specifies a filename, according to the maildropfilter(7) page
I've got here. It's not clear how these match each other:
include $HOME/mailfilters/$LOGNAME
In my $HOME/mailfilters//$LOGNAME/ , I have a [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailfilter
file that looks like this.
I had always found logging to be somewhat temperamental when I was
setting up maildrop some years ago. I haven't messed with my .mailfilter
settings much lately apart from adding filters for new mailing lists,
but I just un-commented my old logfile line and it started working
immediately:
logfile ${HOME}/maillog.log
Check directory/file permissions/ownership?
If you can't resolve it you'd do better taking this to the maildrop
mailing list I'd wager.

This sounds more like a BIOS issue than a disk format problem. The only exception would be if no MBR was written, but then it would give different messages - something about no OS or boot device. Try going in to your BIOS and checking boot order and such. You want it to be floppy first and then CD (if you had one) and then the hard disk[s]. You could boot up and run the fixit floppy and just look at the disk with fdisk. Just do 'fdisk ad0' and see if it gives reasonable values for the drive and the slice you created for FreeBSD. Make sure the slice is marked to be bootable. Then look at that slice with bsdlabel 'bsdlabel ad0s1' and see if it sees partitions in that slice. If so, the disk is probably just fine. If the BIOS is old, it might be something like the disk being too big for it or having some thing about it the BIOS doesn't recognize. In that case you need to upgrade the BIOS. jerry Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: formatting disk for FreeBSD : Detecting IDE Primary Master ... [Press F4 to skip]
It is a fairly old machine I am trying to use. One that has been switched off and gathering dust for some time. ROM PCI/ISA BIOS 2A5LHL1A Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG, AnEnergy Star Ally Copyright(c) 1984-99 Award Software, Inc. I've never updated a BIOS before and it sounds a bit scarey. I guess I'll just overwrite an old 10Gig disk with FreeBSD 4.3 on instead. I don't really need the extra space but thought it would be sensible to install on a new disk. Probably stick the new disk on ebay ;-) Maybe this will offer encouragement. I have an Abit BH6 motherboard; it was made before 1999. (IIRC the board had a similar big disk problem that was fixed after a BIOS update.) I updated the BIOS by going to Abit's international website and following links for drivers/BIOS. It's not that tough once you find information and instructions. You'll need a floppy and maybe a Windows machine from which to make the floppy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After working with the TikiWiki users forums they believe this is a problem with the gd graphics library. I have gd-2.0.35 installed as well as libjpeg, libpng and zlib. PHP was compiled with the following options. './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-gd=/usr/local/gd/lib' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib' I am not seeing any errors in the TikiWiki log files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: dell 1950 hangs on reboot
I may try... but I don`t think that it`s raid problem. I have only 1 hdd... and due to old topics problem is about acpi or cpus. When it hangs the last string what I see is uptime. And when it reboots correctly I see something like: cpu_reset: reseting other cpus So i think it`s some problem with cpu_reset handling...

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. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. 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.
