[Cooker-firewall] Administering from and External Address
I showed Mandrake Security to my Boss and he loved it. He wants to look into installing it at our clients networks around the region. We would need to administer it from our main office. Which file would I need to modify to enter an IP address that's allowed to manage Mandrake Firewall from an external IP address? We need to be able to manage the system from over the internet but want to set it to only respond to a specific IP address. Thanks, Steve

That the Notes agent be setup so that it does not reply to messages containing [.*] in the subject? Yeah, would be nice if this were possible Sadly it isn't (unless the Notes Designer is installed). All you can do is to filter on "From: ". Now, because this message is "From: Alexander Skwar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", and not "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]", Notes would not notice that it should not send an autoreply. Notes is one of the most unflexible Mail clients I've seen - Outlook is *LIGHTYEARS* better than Notes' mail "client". Urgs, don't get me started on the Notes rubbish - I'm on vacation and thus don't have to put up with this piece of junk :) Alexander Skwar -- How to quote: http://learn.to/quote (german) http://quote.6x.to (english) Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com | http://www.iso-top.de iso-top.de - Die günstige Art an Linux Distributionen zu kommen Uptime: 2 days 14 hours 53 minutes

Maybe You > should write a little HOWTO for L.notes users? Yes, it sounded like this, that's right - then I had a look at the link you've posted, and well, it is completely impossible to have something as flexible as your procmail recipe in Lotus Notes. The problem is, that Notes cannot filter on header lines (other than Subject: and From:). And even filtering on subject in the out-of-office agent is completely impossible if you do not have the so called Notes Designer installed. I suspect that most users don't have the Designer installed. Well, the bottom line is, that Notes is unusable for Mail tasks. And yes, I do have first hand knowledge (search for [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the Cooker list, and you'll see).
