Shorewall question
Hi, yesterday I tried to activate shorewall as a firewall on a 2.6.8.1 kernel. (using a woody system, and the backport from backports.org) Everything worked just fine, except for one teensy problem: - Nothing on the firewall could send mail to other users on the firewall. Needless to say, this breaks things like logcheck (Which is how I noticed it in the first place) Some observations: - Rebooted to a 2.4 kernel with ipchains: all mail was handled. - telnet 127.0.0.1 25 works, both kernels - telnet 127.0.0.1 465 doesn't, both kernels. I don't believe it is the kernel, but rather something silly in my shorewall config ? Anybody got any hints ?

Gnumeric broken in sarge ?
Hi, I did my usual apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade last saturday, and discovered that gnumeric wouldn't run anymore. The only message printed is: Cannot allocate memory. This is mildly annoying, since I kep some essential dat ain a gnumeric spreadsheet. ( I do keep a woody install around, so all is not lost ;-) (By the way: bugbuddy sees to be broken too: just hangs trying to collect data .) I've tried rebuilding the package from scratch, and reinstalling it, but that didn't make any difference. Anyone have any suggestions ?

Re: smart media card reader problem
Richard == Richard Lyons [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: No, you're right: it must be the kernel drivers. I've now discovered it is worse than you described. I have no complicated filesystems on any of the media, but after mounting any one of them it is necessary to reboot before you can mount any other type. This applies also to smart media and to SD cards - not just to the disgo. Now that is tedious... Worse.. don't know. What happens is that when you unplug a usb storage device and plug in a different one, it gets assigned a different drive letter. What used to be /dev/sda is now /dev/sdb. The reboot resets the counter. In your case then, after plugging in the second device, try /dev/sdbsomething in your mount command. Funnily enough, I think there is a reasonable explanation for this.. just can't remember it at the moment. Hey ho. Indeed.

Re: Switching from Mutt to Evoultion
Brad == Brad Cramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Brad I am switching from Mutt to Evolution (because I am using Outlook at Brad work and want to try and keeps things the same) Anyway I am not really Brad sure how to set some things up. I have a mail server running on my home Brad network which handles fetching my mail and also sending. I then have my Brad box that I am running Evolution on that runs fetchmail as a daemon to Brad collect mail from home mail server. Before I used procmail and mutt sort Brad mail ( I subscribe to several mailing lists and really like the way that Brad setup worked from within Mutt) But I am not really sure how to set up Brad something similar in Evolution, so I get my personal mail from work and Brad home into my Inbox and mailing lists mail sorted and put into the Brad various folders. Brad Would someone like to provide me with some pointers and sites that can Brad help me with this transition. Brad, I recently (within the last week) made the same switch, not because I had to use outlook, but because I needed to add imap to the network, for our new road-warriors. Anyway: the curent setup: - Mail is still filtered (to files in ~/mail or ~/nsmail, depending on user pref) by procmail - I created an imap account in evolution. Using this account, I subscribed to a number of folders, the files in which the mail is filtered. That's all there was to it, as far as I remember. One minor problem: with the 'send/receive' option, all of my mail arrives in a seperate folder. (Evolution 1.0.5) There is a pop box on a remote server involved that I'd like to be filtered to a seperate folder. Haven't yet figured out a way to do this, but I think that's where evolutions own folders come in.. (Or I could kludge up something using fetchmail..) TimT. (Apologies for the appended disclaimer.

Sendmail problem on woody ?
Hi, I'm kind of stuck on this one, hoping somebody can help me out.. I host a small family mailing list on one of my debian-woody machines, using majordomo. This is a very low traffic list (often weeks go by without any messages.) This week, traffic on the list was up, but I received a complaint from one of the list members, whose email address is on aol.com, that the mail did not get through. Mail sent directly to the aol.com address doesn't arrive either, mail sent from an alternate address does arrive. When I examine the logs, the email is shown as Status= Sent, and everything seems to be OK. A possibly related problem is that, for some reason, I seem to be unable to send email to addresses on msn.com. What happens here is that the connection is made, but nothing happens and the host is disconnected after four hours. The only thing I can think of at this point is that I applied the sendmail security update two weeks ago. The questions: - Does anybody else have the same problem ? - Does anybody have any suggestions for fixing this ? - Failing that, I'd like to move back to the original (pre-security) patch of sendmail.. I do have the woody CD-roms.. Is there any way to force the install of the old package, with the same config as the current ? And if there is anyone with an aol.com account, that I could bounce some mail off over the weekend, that would be helpful too.. Just want to check that the error is not on the aol-user end. (Usually a very clueful person, by the way...)
