SMTP Problem
Out of the blue my mail client (Opera) has stopped sending messages. I did a clean install of Mepis 8.0.1 and Opera 10 and sending just stopped. Receiving messages is fine and sending via another client (KMail) is fine so it is not the ports or firewall stopping things. My ISP say they do not require authentication to send messages. A log of an outgoing connection reveals: 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP OUT : Connecting... 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP IN : 220 ananke.wxnz.net ESMTP Postfix 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP OUT : EHLO localhost 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP IN : 250-ananke.wxnz.net 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 14619200 250-ETRN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP OUT : MAIL FROM:<9...@xnet.co.nz> 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP IN : 250 2.1.0 Ok 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP OUT : RCPT TO: 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP IN : 554 5.7.1 : Helo command rejected: You are not me 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP OUT : RSET 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP IN : 250 2.0.0 Ok 18/09/2009 13:30:06 SMTP OUT : QUIT 18/09/2009 13:30:07 SMTP IN : 221 2.0.0 Bye 18/09/2009 13:30:07 SMTP IN : Disconnected Everything appears in order except the obvious: "554 5.7.1 : Helo command rejected: You are not me" Who do I need to be and where might I put it?? Everything in my Opera account, prefs and .ini files appear to be in order (compared to a backup). Cheers, Chris

DNS-misdirection on a grand scale
Hi I went to check out http://beginningruby.org/what-ive-earned-and-learned/ I got directed to http://www.cancer.org/docroot/don/don_0.asp I even tried going through http://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A//beginningruby.org/what-ive-earned-and-learned/&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 I found http://www.cancer.org/docroot/don/don_0.asp among the list of sites that google considers relevant to the book "Beginning Ruby". Has anyone else had this happen to them when looking for an article slashdot comments on? I don't have any malice towards US citizens with cancer - but I would appreciate the organizations seeking donations not to spam my web searches. Or I might conceivably wind up with a great deal of malice towards them.
