SpamAssasin Configuration
Hello, This email may be a little of the scope of fbdd-questions but I figure you guys would probably know much about this setup. I was wondering if people were having trouble with the latest spamass-milter port? I heard that the milter causes sendmail to crash on systems and I wanted to confirm with users that are actively using it before I put it on my production systems. Also, What is the recommended way of running SpamAssasin on a production system with 100-300 users? Procmail or spamass-milter. Thanks for any help. -cs ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Pop Mail Question
Hello, I need to install a relay for my mobile to be able to send through my mail servers. I was wondering what is the better solution to do this, pop-before-smtp or smtp-auth. I am open to installing any on my server, however, I don't know the limitations of both.

Re: MySQL installation troubles ...
Try compiling instead of using pkg_add. I've noticed this will work more often as packages are not available sometimes. Make install all clean Should do you well. -cs Mazen S.

make buildworld sendmail problem
Hello, I am trying to upgrade my 4.8 box to 4.9. A while back I recompiled my sendmail so that I could run SpamAssasin. Now when I try to run a make build world I get the following: m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/ /usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.submit.mc freebsd.submit.cf chmod 444 freebsd.submit.cf make: don't know how to make /etc/mail/ed.mc. Stop *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/src/etc. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Do I have to give make buildworld any special flags so it knows how to compile my current sendmail?

Making Mozilla like java????
Hello everybody, I am just about to rip my hair out on this one. I have seem many submissions to mailing lists but zero replies about this. Whenever I start Mozilla I get this message: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so: Undefined symbol *libintl_dgettext*] Java does not work with my freebsd-native configuration. Here's what I have installed: FreeBSD-4.6-release Mozilla-1.0rc3 from /usr/ports/www/mozilla jdk-1.3.1p7 Java Development Kit 1.3 from /usr/ports/java/jdk13 Everything installs fine. My Mozilla works just fine but not with java. I have tried to compile gettext by itself and that didn't work. I have also tried to link libjavaplugin_oji.so manually and that didn't work either.

Re: make depend error when compiling 4.6 kernel
Copy the kernel to your home directory and rm -r /usr/src/*. Then recvsup the source. Try to build again.
