Anyone with UK experience of broadband?
I'm hardly an ISP but I do currently run a very low volume Apache service serving mostly plain HTTP from one domain and the main reason I run my own small server is that I have run a few small but extremely publicly useful Email lists for years now and didn't like to hand them to yahoogroups. I think I need to move my server to my house and use broadband to connect it: bandwidth should be fine. I'm thinking of going for BT business500+ to do the necessary. Main reason for move is to have easier control of the machine and, above all, to have IPTABLES control of attacks and antiviral scanning (particularly in the light of the effects of the recent spate of worms working through M$ s'ware). I'm looking for anyone who's used a BT (I don't seem to have an alternative where I live, certainly NTL: and telewest don't cover) broadband connection with a debian box as firewall and NAT who might give me some advice for fee. Very best all: this is an excellent list for a debian supporting amateur to lurk on!

how to customize mbox format in postfix?
Hello, I am running Postfix with home_mailbox=Maildir/, which means the maildrop program will drop mail into user's home director as Maildir format.

Re: how to customize mbox format in postfix?
Thanks for your quick reply. My questions is: I am currently running postfix+Maildir+courier-imap. Well, I can use procmail to let user customize their mbox location. But it seems courier-imap support Maildir only, which means mbox guys can't use imap service correctly. I am planing to install uw-imap and let it binding other port, say 14300, to provide unix mbox format imap service. But it is non-sense. Idea?

Re: Strange apache behaviour? (solved)
Yeap, I already replied on that and posted the correct lines to change. All I was saying was that since this was a recent change in the latest apache builds, I was suggesting that this could be an optional feature maybe made in /etc/apache/cron.conf, to allow people to stay with the original previous way of doing things. I don't think /etc/cron.daily/apache is marked as a conf file, so the next time apache is updated/upgraded, the changes will be overwritten and yet again need to be manually changed.

Actualy, it seems courier-imap and courier-pop pull in a few extra support packages including some sort of authentication daemon and it's own inet daemon. I haven't set it all up yet, but I feel a bit nervous about installing fragments of a larger application that replicate functionality of packages I already have installed. I'm particularly disturbed by extra daemons. I would have abandoned courier when I discovered this, except that courier+support packages still works out smaller than (uw-imapd|ipopd)-ssl+support packages.

You could use perdition (http://freshmeat.net/projects/perdition/) to do the following: Run courier-imap and uw-imap on arbitrary ports (not 143.) Run perdition (an IMAP proxy) on port 143 and get it to forward requests to the appropriate IMAP server depending on the username.

And I think Jesse, the author would be interested, to hear about such feature request if they are really still missing and not only just undocumented. I didn't have time to look into webrt2. However, migration from webrt to webrt2 seems to be hard since bug 114116 mentions that there is no clean way to upgrade the database. Which doesn't exactly surprise me. Hm, I can remember that Jesse talked about providing an upgrade path via script to import data from the 1.x release into a 2.x webrt. And I just looked at http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=2#44 which explains this upgrade and the download location of the import script.

Re: Strange apache behaviour? (solved)
Yeap, I already replied on that and posted the correct lines to change. All I was saying was that since this was a recent change in the latest apache builds, I was suggesting that this could be an optional feature maybe made in /etc/apache/cron.conf, to allow people to stay with the original previous way of doing things. I don't think /etc/cron.daily/apache is marked as a conf file, so the next time apache is updated/upgraded, the changes will be overwritten and yet again need to be manually changed.

There is even an MTA which I have never looked at, though. Thanks for the heads up. It looks like courier is the go. Actualy, it seems courier-imap and courier-pop pull in a few extra support packages including some sort of authentication daemon and it's own inet daemon. I haven't set it all up yet, but I feel a bit nervous about installing fragments of a larger application that replicate functionality of packages I already have installed. I'm particularly disturbed by extra daemons. I would have abandoned courier when I discovered this, except that courier+support packages still works out smaller than (uw-imapd|ipopd)-ssl+support packages. I might still abandon it though if the setup looks too complex/overkill for my application. -- -- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key --
