The following command explained it quite clearly for me when I was writing 
the POP part of my Postal package.

zless /usr/doc/doc-rfc/all-included-rfcs/rfc1939.txt.gz

If you have any further questions after running that command feel free to ask 
me via private email.

http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/mail/ shows:  postilion, tkmail,
xfmail and xmh.

But of course, you can run various other X-based mail applications.
I have also used arrow.

Do your research via linuxapps.com, freshmeat, kde.org, gnome.org etc...

Re: Form to File Solution

2000-10-04 Thread Trent

Yes there is an easier way, php!
You can use the functions fopen(), fclose(), fputs().
You can use php 3.0.9+,
http://www.php.net/manual/browse-errata.php?let=f. PHP is also alot
cheaper an easier
than Cold Fusion. :-)

Thank You,

You've got one major issue there, yes.  ;^)  Seriously though,
a number of these packages already exist.  Search freshmeat or
your local /var/state/apt/lists/*.

Talking to a POP server.

2000-10-04 Thread Scott Thompson

Hello once again list. I am currently writing an online mail service similar
to hotmail or yahoo mail. I have all the elements in place except for one.
In C, how do I talk to a POP server? Is there something like 'sendmail' that
I use to easily send all my mail messages, but for receiving mail from a pop
server?

Thanks in advance!

A large ISP ( >500,000 customers) would need to dedicate at least one skilled 
administrator if they wanted to handle such trivial complaints.  This would 
cost them >$100,000 per annum.  The fact that someone is scanning your FTP 
server is not worth $100K to a large ISP.

A small ISP knows that the type of people who scan for security holes will 
spend lots of time online and make them good amounts of money.  Protecting 
the privacy of such customers makes economic sense.

The only way an ISP will take up this issue is if you threaten legal action 
or writing letters to newspapers complaining (threatening bad PR).  Of course 
if you do this then they will be annoyed and probably won't be as helpful as 
they might be if something serious happens...

Put up a banner saying "welcome user from machine-name" where machine-name is 
the reverse DNS lookup and tell them that all connections are logged.  It may 
scare some of the weenies.

Mail tool for X

2000-10-04 Thread Debian User

   Does anybody know a mail tool for X, for pick up the mail from the
mail server ? Like the one in Netscape but another one ? Under Debian
Potato, of course.


Thank you,
