Imho selling a no-name scanner for as much money as a name all-in-one is genius marketing. Thus the name is correct. I don't know about the rest.

Hi Ori, You can install a sendmail milter.

Get MIMEDefang from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/mimedefang/. You will need to fine-tune MIMEDefang perl code for your needs. Add INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:5m;R:5m') line to your sendmail.mc, regenerate sendmail.cf and reload sendmail. - Moshe Gorohovsky Ori Idan wrote: Hello list, I assume some people here have more experience then me with sendmail...

Re: Scanners
I did two checks: I checked the Sane site for each item. I only paid attention to scanners with good or complete support, of which there were many. My problem was, which of them (within my nominated price/performance range) are available locally and from where. (Not many!) Your remark about the Genius problem was interesting, since the Sane list neither indicated difficulties, nor did it have a link to somewhere else for the models in question. As I pointed out earlier, I'm taking a punt on a Canon Lide 25 at NIS 312 (a tank of petrol?) which won't send me into bankruptcy.

Re: OpenPBX compatible FXS/FXO cards
Thanks for explaining. It is possible that the unit was damaged or does not suit the Israeli phone system (which is slightly different from elsewhere). Usually there are ways for technicians to 'adapt' the unit for local use (this is esp. about leaving the Nezeq line open), even though what you describe sounds like a fault in the ATA FXO side.

Mendelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Israel Linux Mailing list linux-il@linux.org.il Subject: Rsync and databases I lost the original to this thread, but I thought some comments may be usefull. First of all, rsyncing an open file is not a good idea. If the file is a database you can end up with a totaly worthless bunch of random bits. :-( If the file is closed, then RSYNC will work, but it may not work for all database systems, check before using. Rsync will definately *not* work for Oracle database files. The rsync fails on the verification stage. Use ftp instead. Sounds strange, as rsync is supposed to create an identical copy on the remote machine. Does it fail on the rsync or Oracle verification stage? Do you know why it fails? Hi Shachar, The rsync fails, on the verification stage after it transfers the file, before invoking Oracle. This is a known problem with rsync and very sparce files that are more than 10GB. Haven't looked into it for a while. Might have been fixed recently but definately not working in RHEL3. RHEL3 had well known issues with files larger than 2GB on various filesystems. This might be related. Setting Oracle to backup mode allows you to copy tables files on either method you want, rsync included. However, how does rsync handle binary changed files? Can it copy only the binary diff, or must it copy the entire file all over? Ez - yba - yba Shachar
