Re: [Evolution] Spam Filter -- I need volunteers

2003-01-16 Thread Paul Hands




I'd be interested if it wasn't binary only. This probably isn't (but could be) an attempt to get users to load their very own trojan. How does someone prove their legitimacy currently? Even a signature can just be bought. I guess you'll get a lot of people saying something similar until you let others inspect the source.

Hello All,

I've written a statistical spam filter for Evolution. It works by
analyzing the e-mail that you consider spam and eventually learning to
automatically filter it into a special folder. Because it doesn't use a
set of rigid rules, it should theoretically adapt dynamically, without
requiring any future reinstall or updates.

The filter has been running on my system for a couple of weeks now and
it filters almost all the spam that I get. It takes a very conservative
approach to filtering, preferring not to filter a spam than to discard a
good message, and even then only about one spam message every 200 gets
through on my end, and the performance is getting better thanks to the
fact that the system is learning.

Given that it seems to work on my end, I'm looking for a few volunteers
to beta test it. Essentially, I would ask you to install it and let your
e-mail be filtered by it. Throughout the process, I would ask your
comments on its functionality. There is, undeniably, a small risk that
the filter will wreck havoc in your mailbox. It hasn't on mine, but I
can't exclude it. Also, depending on how you install the filter, it
might take a while for it to be perfectly finetuned to your e-mail
traffic (less than a week, depending on the amount of messages you
receive).

Because I'll be distributing binaries only, I need someone who is using
Linux. The filter makes use of labels, so you should not be using those
either.

Please drop me a message if you're interested.

Cheers,


Marco

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get evolution back?  Thank you for your

I see the problem with evo/connector to an exchange server, so I think it's more to do with evolution than with a particular email server. I'll try using an IMAP connection to the exchange server and see if it has the same problem.

[Evolution] Password change problem with Connector

2003-01-13 Thread Paul Hands




Hi all,

My company has an automated system which forces a user password change every two months. The password change is accomplished through a web front end which then propagates the new password around our intranet. This takes quite some time, as it only runs every few hours. Today, I submitted my new password and carried on using evo/connector. After an hour or so, my password change finally got to the exchange server and connector could no longer get access, just as you would expect. 

At this point, I would expect connector to prompt for the new password, but it doesn't - I just get a dialog box stating that it could not authenticate to the server and that it may require a DOMAIN\user entry or that I may just have typed my password wrong. What I never get is a password entry dialog.

The IMAP view of the same account worked as expected - I got a password prompt, entered the new one and all is well.

I've tried telling the connector account not to remember the password, disabling and then re-enabling the connector account, with and without a killev in between. I even disabled the account and rebooted after telling it not to remember the password.

No luck. I seem to be locked out of the connector account. I'm writing this from the IMAP version.

How do I get connector to forget the old stored password and prompt me for a new one?

Paul

[Evolution] Re: gnomecc?

2003-01-13 Thread Paul Hands




Steve,

Gnomecc is the Gnome Control Center. It's a GUI for configuring many parts of the Gnome desktop.

On my machine (SuSE 8.1), it lives /opt/gnome/bin. Interestingly, I can run gnomecc quite happily from the command line, but I can't find it with an rpm query either! If I do a general rpm -q -a | grep -i gnome, I get nothing that looks like gnomecc. OK, it must be provided as part of another rpm

If I do rpm -q --whatprovides gnomecc, I get :- no package provides gnomecc

So now, even though I have it installed and working, I don't know how it got installed! I'll keep looking and let you know if I find it.

Re: [Evolution] Inconsistency in no of unread messgaes

2002-12-19 Thread Paul Hands




You didn't supply enough info for anyone to sensibly comment.

Which version are you running, and on what? There was a big problem like this with the early 1.2 versions. The current version (1.2.1) still has some issues like this, at least on my SuSE setup. I find that the inbox in the folder view will show an unread message count, but no new messages appear in the preview pane. If I go to another folder and then return to the inbox, the counts and the unread messages in the preview then agree.

[Evolution-hackers] libdb problem tryinh to compile 1.2.0 sources

2002-12-12 Thread Paul Hands




Hi all,

I read the knowledge base article on what to with libdb3.1.17, and did as suggested by clicking on the link to sleepycat.com.
I made a directory, /export/home/evolution, then a subdirectory libdb, inside which the db-3.1.17 directory contains the results of unpacking the tar.gz file.

Also in /export/home/evolution is the evolution source directory, evolution-1.2.0. Inside there, I run :-
 ./configure --with-db3=/export/home/libdb and I get 
.
.
.

checking for db3 compiler flags... -I/export/home/evolution/libdb/include
checking for db.h... no
checking for db3/db.h... no
checking db3 header version... configure: error: Found db.h is not version 3.1.17

OK, maybe wrong pathname, so :-

./configure --with-db3=/export/home/libdb/ db-3.1.17 and I get...

checking for db3 compiler flags... -I/export/home/evolution/libdb/db-3.1.17/include
checking for db.h... no
checking for db3/db.h... no
checking db3 header version... configure: error: Found db.h is not version 3.1.17

So I try ./configure with no arguments :-

checking for db3 compiler flags...
checking for db.h... no
checking for db3/db.h... no
checking db3 header version... configure: error: Found db.h is not version 3.1.17

Looking in the place where I put the libdb, the only db.h files are in the build_win32, build_vms or build_vxworks directories. I've attempted pointing configure to those, but no dice.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: [Evolution] libpng errors

2002-12-10 Thread Paul Hands




Hi Mark,

I took the Alexandrian solution to this gordian knot. I gave the rpm -e treatment to everything in gnome, except red carpet. A quick rpm --rebuilddb, just in case and then used red carpet to install evolution and any necessary dependencies. 

Result - perfect, no missing icons anywhere, no error messages. It was quick too, as all the rpms were still in /var/cache/redcarpet/packages, so no downloading was actually necessary.

It looks like this is one of these rpm dependency hell (linux dll hell?) situations. 

As a side issue, because I now have only the latest version of libpng installed, another program (the game lbreakout2) now fails with the same symptoms:-

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.4
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

Seems like you just can't win! However, that's not Ximian's issue.

  I have tried this on SuSE 8.1, same evo  libpng versions you have, and
  I have no such problems.  Several things to note:
  
  1) Evo itself isn't compiled against libpng.  It is, however, compiled
  against libraries which are compiled against libpng (imlib,
  gdk-pixbuf).  We're currently compiling against the SuSE 8.1 imlib
  (1.9.10-474) and gdk-pixbuf (0.18.0-79).  It's possible one of those
  libs is generating the error.
  
  2) It's possible your libpng installation is somehow broken. rpm -V
  libpng might shed some light.
  
  3) I don't suppose you've been compiling things from scratch on this
  machine? If you have e.g. an imlib you built yourself that isn't in
  package management that is getting linked in, that might be causing the
  problems.  ldd /opt/gnome/bin/evolution might shed some light.
  
  4) Was this a clean install of SuSE 8.1, or an upgrade from an earlier
  SuSE version?  If the latter,

If I read this right, it seems that evolution is calling for 1.0.12, but I have 1.2.4 installed, so it doesn't work. This makes sense, since the same evolution works on my 8.0 system which does have 1.0.12, and it works fine there.

Unless I have to install evolution from the SuSE 8.1 channel, not the Ximian channels? I'll try that.

I have 2 systems, one running SuSE 8.0, one running SuSE 8.1. Both are maintained via red-carpet, so I assume I've got the same version of evolution on each (1.2). Red Carpet sez there are no evolution related updates available for either machine.

On the 8.0 system, the rpm query returns:

libpng-2.1.0.12-154
libpng-devel-2.1.0.12-154

This version works with evolution, the icons appear as they should.

On my 8.1 system, the rpm query returns

This version does not work, no icons appear and I get several startup messages complaining about version mismatches with libpng when I start evolution from a shell.

I'm running 8.1 as well. I'm wondering if we need to clarify what is being said.

What I removed was libpng, version 1.0.12, not evolution. What does rpm -q -a | grep -i libpng tell you?

The version of libpng I'm now running is 1.2.4-31, which I got from the distro DVD. There is also version 1.2.4-40 available on the ftp site, but I haven't tested that.

So, try removing all traces of libpng and make sure you install the one evolution is asking for.

[Evolution] Minor irritations with Evo/Connector 1.2 - should I submit bugs?

2002-11-12 Thread Paul Hands




Hi,

SuSE 8.1, KDE :-

Small annoyances rather than show stoppers : should I bugzilla them?

1. Mail folders in the folder bar don't update for quite some time after a message is read - sometimes until the next send/receive is done. The messages are shown as read in the header pane, but the folder pane doesn't revert to normal text with a zero new count for a long time or until the next send/receive.

2. Conversely, the folder bar sometimes shows new mail has arrived, but it doesn't show in the header pane - I think this may be to do with filters moving it to another folder. The audible warning doesn't play until I do a send/receive or select another folder. The target folder doesn't show any change in the folder bar until a send/receive is done. At that point, the audible warning sounds.

3. Filtering places a copy of any mails moved to another folder in the deleted items folder (exchange mailbox with connector). If you watch the process, it's clear that the mails are deleted from the source folder after being copied to the target, which is why they show up in deleted items. The problem is that the deleted items folder rapidly fills with two copies of a lot of messages, and our exchange server has quotas in place. Surely evo could check for a successful filter and not go through a full delete?

[Evolution] Evolution and Connector 1.2 are out - SuSE 8.1 tip / gotcha withlibpng

2002-11-11 Thread Paul Hands




Hi,

Evolution and Connector 1.2 a e both available for download. I'm composing this email on them.

So far, so good - seems solid and most of the annoying bugs are gone.

A little hint for those using SuSE 8.1 :-

Yast2 seems to insist that libpng should be version 1.2.4-31, and deletes earlier versions during any install of anything. 

In my case, if I only have version 1.2.4-31 of libpng installed, evolution gives thousands of gdk_pixbuf and libpng warnings at startup. It then comes up without any of the icons in the toolbar or the file browser, and generally looks awful. If I install version 1.0.12-2 (rpm --force --install libpng-1.0.12-2.i386.rpm) of libpng, the problem goes away!

If I then go back into yast2 software installation or use YOU, it deletes the older version, and the problem returns. There's probably a permanent fix to stop yast doing this, but I haven't found it yet.

HTH,

[Evolution] SuSE 8.1 Support when?

2002-11-08 Thread Paul Hands




Hi,

The XImian web site says that support for SuSE 8.1 will be announced soon. Has anyone a clearer idea of when soon is? I fully expect the usual, humorous (well, almost) answers, but I'm hoping for a date.

The reason i ask is that I'm using the 1.2RC1 client of both evo and connector on SuSE 8.1, and they seem to work, but because of a libpng version issue, I get a lot of error messages :-

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.4

and if I try the help:about evolution menu pick, the whole thing dies with an assertion :-
 evolution-shell-ERROR **: file e-shell-about-box.c: line 270 (impl_realize): assertion failed: (background_pixbuf != NULL)

I thought I'd download the source and try compiling it, but I can't get configure to work - it keeps complaining about GTK not being installed, or having been moved. Neither of these things is true, so I'm just about to give up on compilation as an option, hence the subject question.

The problem will be that if you store mail or other data locally, a restore will overwrite any stuff more recent than the backup. If you keep data on a server, then you should be OK.

I don't think it's recommended to try to restore only parts of the evolution directory's contents, as opposed to the whole thing.

HTH,

Re: [Evolution] Connector and Evolution 1.2 Beta 2

2002-10-30 Thread Paul Hands
Paul,

Connector (and Evolution) 1.2 is a beta product right now.  That means
it isn't generally available - that won't happen until release. 
COnnector 1.07 won't work with Evo 1.2, and unless you're part of the
beta testing community, you won't be able to download it.

 Can anyone help me with using Connector and Evolution 1.2 beta 2 ? I

Hi,

I opened that message with the 1.2 Beta on a SuSE machine.  It does
exactly as Xavier describes.  The only thing I'd add is that it is
trying to display the mail, as it allocates the correct window space and
the scrollbar is tiny, if you see what I mean.

I may be remembering wrongly about 1.08. I converted to the 1.2 beta

Hi Paul,



A couple of small possibilities for you. Did you get the evolution

1.0.8 rpm from www.usr-local-bin.org? The rpm from that site has been

particularly good about working with spell check.



Also there is a version of gnome-spell from that same site

gnome-spell-0.4.1-SuSE.jeo.1 that I am using on several SuSE computers

which may be different than the version that you are using.



Finally you can try adding the pspell-dev from the SuSE CD. One of my

installs refused to spell check in evolution until I got desperate and

added this file. No, I do not know why it works that way, but it did.

Re: [Evolution] LDAP Autocompletion/Addressbook Sources

2002-07-24 Thread Paul Hands
Title: Re: [Evolution] LDAP Autocompletion/Addressbook Sources




Hi,



So far as I know, if you have connector, you can't use an LDAP source for address autocompletion. Without connector, the manual edit of config.xmldb does work. With connector, it doesn't work, and what is more irritating is that if your exchange server also has a global address list, it won't use that for autocompletion either. 



My workaround is to use something like ldap_search to download the server's contents to a local.ldif file and then import that into local contacts, which is usable for autocompletion.



Other than that, I've been using connector since it first came out, and I think it is a superb product - especially now that a lot of the early teething troubles have been fixed.

Hi,



I've had a similar experience. It usually got solved by making sure that the user has the correct environment variables set up.



Assuming a C shell...



setenv GNOME_PATH to wherever Gnome lives (/opt/gnome for Solaris)

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include $GNOME_PATH/lib

and, just for convenience,

set path=($path /opt/gnome/bin)

rehash



Then it works, at least so far.

If you really get desperate, you can use Ldapsearch to download a

Just in case,here's the text from the knowledge base

How do I make Evolution search my LDAP directory for addresses?  
Question   My company has an LDAP server which we use to track people's
contact information. I've set up Evolution so it has access to the
directory, but when I'm writing an email, it never performs address
searches on the LDAP directory. How do I configure this?   Answer   It
is possible to change the search path for address lookups in the
composer, but it isn't supported by Ximian at at this time. In fact,
there isn't a GUI yet, and this solution could change in future versions
of Evolution. Follow these instructions:

* Exit Evolution and run the following command:

$ killev

* Add the following line to your ~/evolution/config.xmldb:

  section path=/Addressbook/Completion
  entry name=uri type=string
value=ldap://localhost:389/dc=toshok,dc=org??one/
  /section

NOTE: Change the URL to match the addressbook URL you want to use. With
LDAP URLs it has to be formatted using the correct syntax for your
system.

Hi,

It now works fine for me from our company LDAP server. 

I simply added the line

to the config.xmldb file as advised in the knowledge base. 
The trick is knowing what the search base (in this
caseou=people,o=cadence.com) and search scope (one) are - they are
company specific, so you need to ask whoever set up your LDAP server. 

The way I did it was to set up the LDAP server in other conatcts in the
GUI.  Once that was working, I copied the settings to the config.xmldb

If you really get desperate, you can use Ldapsearch to download a
complete LDIF of your LDAP server data and import it into local
contacts. Of course, to do that, you need the parameters as before.

How do I make Evolution search my LDAP directory for addresses?  
Question   My company has an LDAP server which we use to track people's
contact information. I've set up Evolution so it has access to the
directory, but when I'm writing an email, it never performs address
searches on the LDAP directory. How do I configure this?   Answer   It
is possible to change the search path for address lookups in the
composer, but it isn't supported by Ximian at at this time. In fact,
there isn't a GUI yet, and this solution could change in future versions
of Evolution. Follow these instructions:

* Exit Evolution and run the following command:

$ killev

* Add the following line to your ~/evolution/config.xmldb:

  section path=/Addressbook/Completion
  entry name=uri type=string
value=ldap://localhost:389/dc=toshok,dc=org??one/
  /section

NOTE: Change the URL to match the addressbook URL you want to use. With
LDAP URLs it has to be formatted using the correct syntax for your
system.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution autocompletion - I think it IS brokennow........

2002-05-27 Thread Paul Hands

Hi Srikanth,

I'm beginning to think you are right!

I just did some experiments

First, I removed my local contacts contents,as the addresses I tested
happen to be in both local contacts db and the remote LDAP server. I did
that for performance reasons - our LDAP server is in a different
country, so having frequently used addresses local makes a big
difference.

So, I added the relevant line for the LDAP autocompletion in a number of
different ways :-

As a complete section
path=/Addressbook/Completion./section 
both before and after the existing section.

As just the  entry name=uri type=string value=... line in the
existing Addressbook/Completion section, both before and after the
existing entry.

Neither works!  I can still use the LDAP server manually as an alternate
addressbook source, so I know the parameters are right.  I guess that
means that at some point between 1.02 and 1.05, it got broken.

I note that the entry line gets turned into a massive hex string under
some circumstances.  Then I noticed that when I had the new entry line
before the existing one (which always seems to be a hex string), it gets
turned into a hex string which is identical to the first one!  Then,
when I do a completion from the local contacts, and a menu of possible
matches is offered, each entry comes up twice. It seems that having two
identical entries causes two searches.

However, none of the experiments caused LDAP autocompletion to work any
more.  That means the instructions in the knowledge base are now not
useful.

There is a possible alternative :- I used ldapsearch to get a local copy
of my LDAP server's database locally in an LDIF file.  Then I import it
into the local contacts file.  

The ldapsearch program is pretty simple to use - for me it's ldapsearch
-x -h ServerName -b ou=people,o=company.com -s one  myldap.ldif

Then import the file myldap.ldif with evolution's importers.

If any Ximian folks look at this, can you test if the knowledge base
instructions are now non-functional?

Paul

[Evolution] Connector : Global Address List no longer works

2002-05-15 Thread Paul Hands

Hi, 

I'm using evo 1.05 and connector 1.0.2-1.ximian.1 on SuSE 7.3. 

Since moving to this combination, the Outlook/Exchange server's Global
Address List no longer works.  It is set up as with previous versions,
but any search produces no result.  No errors, just no results once the
receiving LDAP search results message has gone. It works OK for the
same setup on a Solaris machine running evolution 1.0.5-1 Ximian 5 and
connector 1.0.1-1 Ximian 4 (The beta test version).

Any ideas?

Paul

[Evolution] I just deleted the VFolder unmatched and seem to have deletedalmost everything else.....

2002-05-13 Thread Paul Hands

Hi,

A cautionary tail and perhaps a plea for help.

I was experimenting with VFolders and doing some general mailbox
housekeeping on my exchange connector account.  While paying attention
to a phone call, I accidentally clicked delete on the unmatched
VFolder instead of the one next to it.  Now, my inbox, and some other
folders are empty.  Some of the messages showed up in the deleted items
folder but a whole lot have just evaporated. That's most of my important
emails since January :-(

1. Don't delete that VFolder
2. Is there any way back (I doubt it, but...)?

[Evolution] How long does it take for a connector license to arrive?

2002-03-26 Thread Paul Hands




Hi,



Anyone from Ximian reading this? I purchased, downloaded and installed connector a few hours ago. I'm now waiting for the key to arrive, but so far, nothing. The reason I asked is that when I tried to join the bugzilla users on Ximian, I never got a password mailed to me, even after several days, and I don't want the same happening with connector.. 



TIA,



Paul

Re: [Evolution] installation without ximian gnome

2002-03-21 Thread Paul Hands




Check to see where evolution ended up - I think the default is /opt/gnome. Try, as root, find / -name evolution -print. That should eventually show you something like /opt/gnome/bin/evolution



In my case (SuSE 7.3), the main gnome install directory is /opt/gnome, and evolution is in /opt/gnome/bin. I needed to set a variable, GNOME_PATH, to point to /opt/gnome. You should also add whatever directory the evolution executable is in to your path :- set path=($path /opt/gnome/bin). You may also have to add /opt/gnome/lib to a variable called LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Once working, add these to your shell setup.

[Evolution] Two questions about evolution......

2002-03-14 Thread Paul Hands




Hi all,



1. Whenever I post to the [EMAIL PROTECTED], I cannot see my own post's body text. If someone replies, it's there, quoted in the reply, so clearly, others can see it.

However, if I post to [EMAIL PROTECTED], all is well. Does anyone have any idea why?



2. My company uses Microsoft Exchange for email and calendars. Whenever I rsvp to a calendar invite to a Microsoft user's invitation, the recipient only sees a mail from me with no body text, except the two words event information.

When I look at my sent message, it seems fine. Any idea what I need to change (bearing in mind that weaning 5000 people off Microsoft will be a little bit more difficult than a set-up change to my copy of evolution!)?



Thanks,



Paul








[Evolution] killev doesn't kill all associated processes

2002-03-11 Thread Paul Hands




When I use killev to remove all the evolution processes, it leaves two alive every time...

 

oafd --ac-activate --ior-output-fd=10

gconfd-1 --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:gconfd:19991118 --oaf-ior-fd=20



Sometimes, when I've made changes to my evo configuration, I find they don't seem to take effect unless I kill these processes too.

Does anyone know why they get left alive?



Thanks,



Paul








Re: [Evolution] killev doesn't kill all associated processes

2002-03-11 Thread Paul Hands




Jason,



Thanks for the fast reply. In other words, it's OK for those processes to survive, right? The reason I noticed them is because I'm using KDE with evolution,as opposed to the Gnome desktop, and those processes were new to me.
