Fwd: ANN: Procmail Sanitizer 1.131 is released
fyi -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: ANN: Procmail Sanitizer 1.131 is released Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2001 11:14:15 -0800 (PST) From: John D. Hardin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Procmail List [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The procmail sanitizer has been updated. The current version is 1.131 It is available via: US: http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html NO: http://jhardin.oftedal.no/email-tools/procmail-security.html AU: http://grebopple.accessunited.com.au/email-tools/procmail-security.html AU: http://impsec.fuzzitech.net/~jhardin/email-tools/procmail-security.html - From the changelog: 11/22/2001 (1.131) Fixed the script so that it now actually respects the setting of $SECURITY_TRUST_HTML. Added support for the Perl regular expression (?...) construct in the poisoned files list, so that more flexible poisoning lists may be constructed - see man perlex for details. See the recommended poison list for examples. Fixed a bug that caused the sanitizer to misinterpret multi-line RFC822 Content-Type headers, leading to attachments not being sanitized. Added a hack to recognize filenames in Content-Description comment headers, where MS Outlook helpfully looks for a filename if one isn't specified in the Content-Type or Content-Disposition headers; if you don't want Content-Description to be modified, define $SECURITY_DISABLE_OUTLOOK_HACKS to be any value. Recognize multipart attachment specification where the MIME boundary string is not in quotes. Added $SECURITY_NONOTIFY_LONGSUBJECT to suppress long-subject-header notifications. Remove trailing spaces from attachment filenames. Remove trailing spaces if truncating long attachment filename with embedded spaces. Defer echo of Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers to remove the need for default filename generation and to make inserted warnings display properly. Fix misparsing of the attachment following an empty attachment. Cosmetic fix in one warning message. Added $STRIPPED_EXECUTABLES to strip attachments by name in a manner similar to $POISONED_EXECUTABLES - stripping an attachment does not poison the entire message. All of these new things may once again make the script too big for AIX... If so, try the no-macro-scan version. The opt-out processor appears stable. ISP's really should take a look at it.

more kernel questions
If you comiple everything built into the kernel, is there any need to run make modules and make modules_install? For the last few 2.4.x releases there's been a broken agp-sis function (compile errors). The config always seems to turn on CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y. Is there any way to avoid this config item being set? I comment it out, and my kernel compiles and runs ok. -- Collins Richey Denver Area gentoo_rc6 k2.4.16+ext3+xfce+sylpheed+galeon ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Re: more kernel questions
Make modules install hasn't worked on my machine in many months. You don't have to make modules if you don't have any to make. In fact, even if you do have some modules chosen, if you don't use the, it doesn't matter either way.

Re: IRQ Sharing
--- Kurt Wall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone here have experience with the kernel's IRQ sharing? I've got a couple of PCI NICs in a box, both using IRQ 9. While it seems to work, I was just wondering if anyone has run into problems with the IRQ sharing. I've never run into problems. The (relatively) new feature in recent 2.4.x kernels for uniproc APIC allows for fairly reliable management of devices that share an IRQ. On 2 of my boxes (that happen to be virtually identical HW wise) I have three IRQs that are being shared (9, 10 11) with no noticable performance problems. = Lonni J.

Linksys Wireless Troubles
I am in need of help with setting up the WPC11 pcmcia card for my laptop. I have qwest DSL with a dynamic ip. The laptop is running OpenLinux 3.1. I tried to follow the step by step, but I must be missing something. After loading pcmcia-cs-3.1.30 I now get power to the card but no 'activity' on the thing, as in the green light is always dark. shouldn't I have loaded a kernel module for this card? If so, which one? My network.opts is as follows: I got this info from windows on same laptop IP ADDR=10.0.0.5 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK= BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 # GATEWAY=10.0.0.1 # DOMAIN= SEARCH= DNS_1=206.81.192.1 DNS_2=204.147.80.5 I don't understand what is needed for NETWORK, DOMAIN and SEARCH. Are they all required fields? Also, the laptop has a built-in ethernet as eth0 and the WPC11 is eth1. Can both be loaded at boot time? Am I going to be able to use wireless or wired whichever I choose without reconfiguring something? As you can tell, I know little about wireless, laptops and networking and linux. So far I have muddled through all my other problems with the help of this list and the step-by-steps. Any help would be appreciated. vern ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Procmail
I am unable to get procmail to work! I have re-m4-ed my sendmail.cf file to include MAILER(procmail) and everything LOOKS ok. I have a .procmailrc file in the user's home directory, and yet I get no difference and no logs of what isn't happening! ARG! Help? This is running on COLS3.1 and does include the added bonus of using fetchmail. REPEAT: This is NOT the actual target of the mail. The mail is pulled from another server using POP3 using fetchmail, but fetchmail is supposed to connect to port 25 to deliver the mail just like it WAS the originator.
