[ilugd] Bulk SMS application
hi, I need to build a bulk SMS application. Clarifications first :) I am not working for any spamming company. I am working for a large ecommerce company which has a large client base and to keep them updated, we send about 5 Lakh SMSes per day. Till now we have been relying on a vendor for this work but now my management wants this to be done in-house. Clearly speaking, I have never worked for such an application. I need your suggestions for the following: 1) Most suitable database for this application. From my experience I know mySQL is faster than pgSQL. But pgSQL is most robust DBMS. I am open to other better DBMSes. 2) Messages mobile numbers will be pushed to this SMS application and it needs to provide delivery status to main application. I need help regarding basic architecture of such SMS application. It will be built using open source tools. Please suggest which programming language is most suitable for this application. 3) Any other suggestions, pointer to relevant docs, etc will be highly appreciated.

[ilugd] Postfix Postgres Encoding Issue
Hello Friends, I am facing this serious problem related to encoding. My Postfix server receives emails in various encoding and I need to save contents of those emails along with email IDs and subject lines to Postgres. I am using PHP to fetch emails and save to database. Postgres is set to UTF-8 default encoding. When it sees text with a different encoding it gives error about illegal character and my PHP script dies. One solution is to expand my PHP to convert different encodings to UTF-8 (there's no very reliable function for this) and the other way possible is setting Postfix to save/covert all emails UTF-8. Is it possible to convince/force Postfix to save/convert all mails to UTF-8 and send UTF-encoded mail when fetched by a script. Thanks..

[ilugd] Request for suggestion for setting up Asterisk based call-center
Hello Friends, I need your suggestion for the following scenario. An e-commerce company, largely in tourism, has its own in-house 24x7 customer support facility. It provides support to its customers through phone and email. Its a 30-seats call-center, having only in-bound calls. Presently they are using a Nortel based system which seems aging. They have a 32-channel Reliance MTNL PRI line (Reliance line is primary). I don't know about the PRI-Card/Server. The Nortel system provided a real time monitoring, call bargin and call recording facilities. Nortel system also provides detailed report of each call hitting their lines. The management demands a report based on these details on daily basis. Each call center agent uses a Nortel based IP phone through which he/she receives/mutes/unmutes/transfers calls. The call center usually receives 5000-6000 calls everyday, which may reach 9000 in peak seasons. I plan to propose an Asterisk based system for their call center. I have never implemented/installed Ansterisk based system. While contemplating Asterisk as a potential candidate, I assume: 1) The company would need to buy a linux supported PRI card (I guess its called FXO card). 2) Call-center agents can use Soft IP phones on a linux based pc which will allow call barging/transfer/recording. 3) Asterisk can provide facilities of call barging, call transfer, call recording and detailed report of each landing call. I have the following queries: 1) Are my assumptions correct? 2) What hardware (configuration) would be required for this kind of load? 3) Please suggest hardware requirement for call recording separately. 4) Is there any IT company in Delhi that can implement and provide 24x7 support to this Asterisk based setup.

[ilugd] problems after usermod abuse
Hello Friend,
I did a mistake :(
I log into ubuntu using the primary user id 'niyaz' (created during
installation).
I was trying virtualbox and on the first run it told me 'niyaz' is not
in vboxusers group.
well, that revelation striked me quite hardly, i guess.
And i fired:
$ sudo usermod -G vboxusers niyaz
and it transmigrated me to vboxusers.
I lost the sudo power.
In an attempt to rehabilitate 'niyaz'
I booted the system with the Ubuntu live disk,
added 'niyaz ALL=(ALL) ALL' to /etc/sudoers
but it left some challenges for me:
- 'niyaz' can't unlock users-admin (gui tools to manage users) although
users can be added/deleted with useradd/userdel. it exits with error
number 6868.
- similarly 'niyaz' can't unlock services-admin (gui tool to manage
services)
- synaptic package is working fine ('niyaz' is getting authenticated by
it)
- 'niyaz' doesn't have permission to access other auto mounted
partitions.
please suggest me what else i need to do.
Thanks to you all,
Niyaz

Now those sheets have grown in number and size to trouble the less tech aware seniors. I have suggest them to go for a proper database system. Thankfully, they hadn't bought a license for M$ Access and I am hopeful the licensing cost for the same will give them a little pain. I want to present OpenOffice Base (OO.Base) as a better alternative to them. These are my queries regarding OO.Base: 1) The database should run on a central machine and others will input/access data from their PC using a small application (Form). Is it possible with OO.Base? 2) I am also hopeful that i will be asked to develop the forms for this system. Its possible in OpenOffice to create forms easily. I have only Linux (Ubuntu Hardy) on my laptop while in my organization they all use winXP. Will the forms developed in OO.Base on Linux will run in OO.Base running on winXP? 3) Can I make those forms run independent of OO.Base like a compiled program? If not, please suggest any solution for this. 4) Is there any other open-source alternative which can satisfy these requirements?
