Hi! Good day.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
I've been looking for a good documentation on configuring Sendmail +
|
|
Courier IMAP (with MailDir) but I can't find one. My server's specs:
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><code><font color="#000033"><br>Mandrake 8.2
|
|
<br>Sendmail 8.12
|
|
<br>Procmail 3.22
|
|
</font></code></blockquote>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Currently, I'm using the IMAP and POP server distributed with Mandrake. Im
|
|
using Postfix as my MTA before, but when I needed to use MailScanner
|
|
(<A HREF="http://www.mailscanner.info"
|
|
>http://www.mailscanner.info</A>) I have no choice but to use Sendmail.
|
|
I want to switch to Courier IMAP and make use of their MailDir feature and
|
|
MySQL auth, but I can't find a good tutorial or howto. I believe you can
|
|
help me with this one.
|
|

Thanks and more power

<P>
|

I have been searching everywhere for a possible cause to this little
|
|
problem. I have two LNE100tx Ethernet adapters in a Redhat Linux 7.1
|
|
machine with kernel version 2.4.9-34smp. Eth0 is hooked to a 100tx
|
|
switch and Eth1 to a Toshiba cable modem, both using cat5e cable with
|
|
very short runs. I use an iptables based firewall rule set to allow for
|
|
ip-masquerading. The inside interface works perfectly, and so far as
|
|
I've seen the outside interface actually works perfectly in spite of the
|
|
fact that ifconfig shows that I have 0 tx packets on that interface and
|
|
tons of errors. My real question is if these are true readings how can
|
|
I still ping this machine and receive responses without it transmitting
|
|
packets to the cable modem? I have included some relevant output from
|
|
ifconfig, iptables -L as I'm not sure that it's not a conflict in my
|
|
rule set, and ping output from another location. Any information on
|
|
this problem (even if it's just that the output of ifconfig is wrong)
|
|
would be greatly appreciated.

<BR>Question by Barb & Charlie Wells (<a href="mailto:linux-questions-only@ssc.com?cc=welzgang@now2000.com&cc=jkarns@csd.net&subject=%20Re%3A%20%5BLG%2082%5D%20help%20wanted%20%235%20multilink">welzgang from now2000.com</a>)
|
|
|
|
<P><STRONG>
|
|
I have no problems finding references that multilink ppp dual modems are
|
|
possible in linux but for the life of me I can't find a step by step
|
|
guide how to set this up. I am a newbe using Mandrake 8.2 and would
|
|
really appreciate info on how to actually set my computer up for
|
|
multilink 56k modems. My ISP does provide this service.
|
|
</STRONG></P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
You will most likely need to re-configure and compile your kernel - you
|
|
will need to install the source pkg from your Mandrake installation CD's
|
|
if it's not already installed. I don't believe that that most distro
|
|
supplied kernels are configured for that. From the kernel confg help:

|

If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
|
|
usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
|
|
SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
|
|
lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
|
|
one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
|
|
to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
|
|
Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.

As a long time self-taught user of Linux/Unix/Ultrix (and several other
|
|
flavours), I've become addicted to such handy tools as vi, grep, sed, awk,
|
|
ctags, and the bazillion other little utilities that can be so artisticly
|
|
chained together to produce the desired results. I've stumbled across your
|
|
LG archives, and all I can say is "WOAH!" I'm going to have to find myself
|
|
a text-to-speech translator so I can read/listen-to all of this good stuff
|
|
whilst at work, because there's just so much in here. Thanks for such a
|
|
fabulous (and fun!) resource...

Glad you're enjoying it, Tim. Given that you do have this broad range of

experience, you might want to give a thought to joining The Answer Gang;
|

as far as I'm concerned, it's the most fun part of LG. You don't have to
|
|
have all the answers... as long as you have a few, you can contribute.

The unusual Subject: line and From: line suggest you received a message
|
|
from a Klez worm/virus. Klez operates by choosing a To: address and a From:
|
|
address randomly from the user's Microsoft Outlook address book. In other
|
|
words, it comes from someplace completely different than where it claims to
|
|
have come from. If you know anybody who uses Outlook and has both your address
|
|
and LG's in their addressbook, you can warn them. Or if you have the
|
|
original message, you can tell from its Received: headers which domain it
|
|
came from. If you want to send me the headers, I can show you how to verify
|
|
whether it's Klez and what the originating domain is.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Usually Klez messages come with a binary attachment, but sometimes the program
|
|
goofs and sends only a one-liner. Of course, you don't ever want to run -- or
|
|
let your computer automatically run -- a binary attachment from somebody you
|
|
don't know, because that's how viruses and worms spread. Klez in particular
|
|
also tries to disguise the attachment so it looks like a different type than
|
|
it is. For instance, it can disguise an executable program as a sound file,
|
|
which tricks certain versions of Windows into executing it.

We are looking to contact some Linux websites and The Linux Gazette was
|
|
recommended to me. Pls fwd me your editorial contact name and phone number,
|
|
so that we may speak with him/her about promotional vehicles via the Linux
|
|
Gazette website.
|

</STRONG></P>
|

<P>
|

I am the Editor. The LG site does not accept advertising or the usual
|
|
"promotional vehicles". However, we do have a sponsorship program which
|
|
can get your company logo on the home page. Contact <A HREF="mailto:sponsor@ssc.com"
|
|
>sponsor@ssc.com</A> if
|
|
you're interested.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
We publish announcements about Linux-related products and services in the
|
|
News Bytes column. Send a short summary (1-2 paragraphs) in text format,
|
|
along with a link to your site, to <A HREF="mailto:gazette@ssc.com"
|
|
>gazette@ssc.com</A>. The information
|
|
should be targeted to a consumer, not an investor.

<br>Question From dexter (<a href="mailto:gazette@ssc.com?subject=%20Re%3A%20%5BLG%2082%5D%20gazette%20matters%20%232%20chime%20in">dexter from chux.org</a>)

In the 'mailbag' of the 'linux gazette' there was someone
|
|
(without e-mailadress) who had a question about running
|
|
a Linux server behind a w2k ICS server (Linux terminal
|
|
services server can't connect to internet via network)
|
|
Now I was wondering, should whoever reads this and
|
|
know a solution or more details then he/she does e-mail
|
|
to this adress so it'll come in the next mailbag? Is
|
|
that how this works? If so, I'd like to reply (very much)
|
|
</BLOCKQuote></STRONG></P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
I'm not entirely sure of that... but they're the same crew, (of people
|
|
mangling the replies) so if you know something, I'd say shoot.
