I have a script such as: #!/bin/csh foreach i (`cat $1`) echo $i echo "To: "$i | cat - content > tmpxx /usr/sbin/sendmail -f "gunge@x.x" -t < tmpxx rm -f tmpxx sleep 1 end Which takes a bunch of addresses in a file and sends an email to each one individually. The file "content" is the email minus the "To: " header, but including all the necessary ones like From:, Date:, Subject: - you should also probably have a couple of others as well. Critically, sendmail adds the unique message-id itself. This was the last "content" file I used (suitably sanitized): From: "A Person" Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 23:27:37 + Subject: Hello User-Agent: Heirloom mailx 12.5 7/5/10 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello everyone, The script needs to run as a user that can change the sender in sendmail (usually root), and I put the sleep in to stop mailers thinking I'm spamming.

You are absolutely right - just the other day I needed to search my entire
account and changed that for a search and did not put it back. Thanks for

Re: [Evolution] Importing email signatures from one computer to another
Milan, Thanks a lot! It worked like a charm.I imported the associated files from the ~/.config/evolution/sources/ folder and was able to use the signatures in the other computer.

[Evolution] Is it possible to move local to an different hd?
Hi I am running of space on my Linux machine, or better my setting is: -- The usual Linux filesystem Mounted on / (/dev/sda2), where Used 142.63 GiB (95%) / Unused 7.37 GiB (5%) -- a secondary hd, Mounted on /data (/dev/sdb1), where Used 299.66 GiB (32%) / Unused 631.85 (68%) My /root/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/ is about 30GiB. Is there a way to move it under /data, and still have Evolution working fine and fast?

You could try to create a symlink and see what might break (or not). Backups can save your day.

Move to a real user and then su/sudo to root. And no, you should not move the /root folder to anywhere else. It should be on the / partition. Oh, and remember DO NOT login as root.

While that is true, quite a few of the distro installers put home in the root vg unless you do a custominstall. And the rest if you are not paying attention will start out with a root vg and a home vg, but the act of making changes causes the home vg to disappear. Yes, I've been bitten many a times thinking I've got separate vgs set up for root and home only tofind out after everything is installed that I only have a root vg. > > Is there a way tomove it under /data, and still have Evolution > > working fine and fast? > > You could try to create a symlink and see what might break (or > not).Backups can save your day. > Cheers,andre--Andre Klapper | ak...@gmx.net > https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ > > > ___evolution-list mailing > listevolution-l...@gnome.org > To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Yes, sure, but the OP is talking about /root not a /home in the root VG. They are logging in as root, which is not a good thing.

Thanks a lot again, Pete, for your help answers. This is a helpful explanation. I turned on "Show Deleted Messages" but fortunately no emails were just "marked as deleted" in the IMAP folders (just in the local folders which is a different story). But I will keep it that way to monitor any ill behaviour. > > > > I suspect it's an issue of trying to use features for something > > > > they > > > > weren't intended for.

Thanks again for reminding me of the archive function. And I learnt that now it just "moves" the email to a specific folder which can be an IMAP folder which will be synced again. https://askubuntu.com/questions/57144/where-is-gmail-archive-option-in-evolution And I found out how to change the shortcut, key combination to archive it as ctrl-alt-a was a bit clumsy to be used often. For the records and other interested people. Just edit ~/.config/evolution/accels, delete the ; in front of a edited line and I used following to archive with simple key "a": (gtk_accel_path "/mail/mail-archive" "a") Thanks again for your help! It was worth to email and to learn new things!
