 Sorry if this is an RTFM question.
 Every night our NY office connects in to our backup server. I have a
 script that checks the status of the most recent backup as well as those
 connects, but I would like to be able to track the time the NY office
 disconnects. The NY office is using rsync to connect through and ssh
 tunnel. A while back there was a case where they were not actually
 transferring any data. Certainly the NY office could also check the
 times on their end.

The login/logout times are in the file /var/log/auth.log on my Ubuntu
system.

Re: [Discuss] Postfix Wildcard email forwarding

2011-11-16 Thread John Abreau
I don't recall the details offhand, but one possible strategy would be
to usea catchall alias to pass the mail to a script, and then have the
script reinject the message into postfix. I recall seeing this strategy
described as one possible way to configure spamassassin for postfix.

I think the important word to include in your google search is reinject.

 Hi all,

 I google and couldn't find any answer about how to configurate the postfix to 
 forward wildcard emails to anther email account.
 I cannot use catchall account because I have 3 seperate email accounts to 
 deal with different bounced email purpose. I tried the alias and didn't work.


 That's what I would like to do:

 _re...@mymail.com -- re...@mymail.com
 _nore...@mymail.com -- nore...@mymail.com
 xxx_s...@mymail.com -- s...@mymail.com


 Any input or suggestion is appreciated.


 Thanks,

 - DP

Re: [Discuss] mbox questions

 (.msf) files and compact all the mbox files. In my situation I have
 emails in local folders going back years. This should be no problem...

Be aware that although the documentation would have you believe that the
.msf files are there strictly for performance and are otherwise
disposable, they actually store some unique meta data - at least with TB
version 3.x and earlier, and for local folders. For example, if you
delete your .msf file, you will lose any tagging you had set.

Even doing something as seemingly innocuous as moving your local mail
store to a different file system (path) can throw TB off ad cause the
meta data to be lost.

I second that approach.
