maildrop config

2004-11-28 Thread Nick Smith
is there anyone out there using maildrop to filter mailinglist mail to 
their own folders? would you mind posting your config here so i can see 
some examples? im a little confused as to how to filter both TO: and/or 
CC: in the same filter.
TIA

why cant i send mail with squirrelmail?

2004-11-13 Thread Nick Smith
i have a mail server set up and can successfully send mail using an 
email client aka thunderbird, im running postfix/courier-imap all the 
users are stored in a mysql db, i can recieve mail fine as well. im 
using apache and squirrelmail for my webmail.  i have to use relayhost = 
mail.comcast.net in my postfix config so that my mail doesnt bounce, my 
ip is a DUL.  when ever i send mail through SM i get timeouts when 
connecting to my ISP's mail server mail.comcast.net, on about 3 
different ip addresses.  its my understanding that SM uses the same 
setup that the clients do, SM is running on the same server as the other 
services aka courier and postfix.  so why can i send mail with a client 
and not with SM?  i have SM setup to use localhost for both incoming and 
outgoing mail so it uses my servers settings.  what can i provide for 
you to better assist me? i have been messing with this for almost 2 
weeks have asked countless people and mailing lists with no resolve.

here is my postconf -n if that helps:
mail root # postconf -n
alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2

home_mailbox = .maildir/
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = all
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps $virtual_mailbox_maps unix:passwd.byname
local_transport = local
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, $mydomain, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
mydomain = computernick.com
myhostname = mail.computernick.com
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8

It is alright but there is always room for improvement, I think emerge
has the edge as a packet management tool. ;-P
   

During the early days of the Debian project, the members then did
consider going source-based: provide the upstream source and a
debianized patch afterwhich the users would compile it themselves.But
later on they did realize that a binary distribution would be more
maintainable.
 

i use gentoo primarily now because i like the feeling that every piece 
of software on my system from the bootstrap up is compiled for my 
hardware aka p4, every debian binary is built for a 386 machine to keep 
compatibility! and on top of that a stable debian release takes years!  
dont get me wrong i use to be die hard debian because of apt-get but i 
have seen the light, emerge is way more powerful then apt and overall 
system performance is far superior because you compile everything from 
scratch for your system, debian was great when i was a newby and didnt 
know how linux worked and it was great for a system that just worked, 
that is of course if you can over look all the apt problems, do an 
apt-get dist-upgrade and your entire system crashes, thats always nice.  
i still like them both and still run both on servers, and i even 
compared the two on two separate mail servers, and getnoo blew debian 
away hands down on performance.  try it for yourself and you will see. 
just dont try a stage 1 on a 386 or you will literally be there for 
almost a week watching it compile.  it is designed for the power user 
and for faster machines.

just my 2 cents

secure proxy how to?

2004-08-02 Thread Nick Smith
was thinking about setting up something where i could allow people to surf
the internet anonymously, like set up a secure proxy so that people could
set their browsers to connect to my machine and cover their tracks, is
proxy the right term for this? is there anything better? i want the same
result as like one of the anonymizer sites but i want to host it myself,
can this be done? and what programs do i need?
TIA

cant ssh in from outside world

2004-06-11 Thread Nick Smith
i recently just ran into this problem when i moved my mail server from
cable to dsl, (comcast to bellsouth).  i didnt change any of the settings,
that i know of.  i can ftp, send/receive mail, but i cant ssh in. its very
frustrating because that is how i fix anything thats gone wrong, check log
files etc.  is there some reason why i cant ssh from the outsite net?
does anyone else use bellsouth.net fast access and have this problem? is
there a work around?  what can i look for in my config to see if i am set
up still for remote connects aka from the internet?  i can ssh from a
local machine fine. it lets me in no problem, but i get a:

ssh: connect to address 68.214.***.blah port 22: Connection refused

when i try it from an outside computer.  no firewall is active, should be
totally open, its the DMZ on the router as well, and just in case that
didnt open it up enough i added a rule in the port forwarding to allow ssh
port 21 to that specific local ip.
any ideas?

 Hi
  Thanks for the input. What I am referring to is
 something like the MS FrontPage, not just an ordinary
 editor.

 must-suppress-urge-to-mock-your-MSFrontpage-reference

 I've heard good things about Bluefish, but I've never used it, I code
 all my  websites in VI.

 apt-get install bluefish will do the trick.

 joost

forget frontpage, what about a dreamweaver alternative? i do respect the
hand coding people out there, i too started coding with VI, but there is
no way im going to design complex image maps or anything else with lengthy
code by hand any more, too much chance for error and it takes way too long
to do it.  i wish wine would pick up the pace and get compatible with MX
2004 and for that matter photoshop CS. but i would be happy with just a
dreamweaver alternative.  which in my search i can find nothing that comes
close to the power of dreamweaver.
ps, im not knocking frontpage, i too have used it, but every page i have
created or seen created with it just doesnt look as professional as
compaired to what you can do with dreamweaver.  most people go with front
page because dreamweaver has a much higher learning curve, but once you
master it you can do wonders.

 You might want to check out N-View, see http://www.nvu.com/ for more
 info. Haven't use it myself though, I am just too fond of vim and
 more recently the Template Toolkit.

wow that looks promising, hope they get that CSS update out soon i might
try it.

squirrelmail died WAS: mail server changing machines

2004-06-05 Thread Nick Smith
Well I got my mail server switched over to a new machine, I can send and
receive mail there, thank you for all your help. But I did run into one
problem, my squirrelmail died, it wont come up in any browser, I get a 404
page not found, I copied over the apache configs and the squirrelmail
configs, and everything in /usr/share/squirrelmail from the log files it
looks like its looking for index.php which with the Include in the apache
config should be in /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf file which points it to
/usr/share/squirrelmail which has the index.php in it, but its not loading.
I have php installed, the modules is loaded. Any ideas? Im kinda stumped, my
webpage will pull up just not the squirrelmail. I have reran the config.pl
and it didn't help.

mail server changing machines

2004-06-04 Thread Nick Smith
im going to be moving my mail server to another machine, and moving it off
site at another location (more bandwidth).  what would the easiest way and
least down time way of doing that? i have the other machine already
installed debian and updated stable, courier is installed, squirrelmail,
etc, can i just copy over the config files and the Mailbox folders in each
account and have it work? i really dont want to have to go through the
hassle of reconfiguring everything and risk alot of downtime if i dont
have to.
TIA

Boot problems.

2000-03-08 Thread Nick Smith
Hi i'm having problems Installing Debian. It freezes during the boot 
sequence. I've tried booting from the CD and from the rescue floppy but it 
always fails.


Boot sequence
detects:
hda - main harddisk
hdb - linux harddisk
hdc - Installation CDROM
hdd - DVD-ROM
ide0 - then linux sets the IRQ and some other HEX.
ide1 - same as above
fd0- it finds the floppy drive
md drive 0.36.3 MAX_MD_dev=4, MAX_REAL=8
at this point if i'm booting from the rescue disk, the installation
fails, and a cursor blinks on the bottom of the screen
sym53c416.c : version 1.0.0
DC390: 0 adapters found
if i'm booting from CD-ROM it fails here

i'm lost any ideas?

my computer is a polywell:

Poly 800K7 ATX Motherboard
Athlon 700MHz 128K L1/512K L2 Cache
128MB SDRAM
Seagate 28GB Ultra DMA/66 IDE 7200RPM Hard Drive

any help would be appreceated.
