Re: GUI mail client recommendations ...
Ok I'll bite. I installed fetchmail and fairly quickly had it retreiving mail into system. I installed mutt and spent 2 hours looking at man and muttrc. Wow. What I dont get is how mutt replies to mail I retrived from ' mywork.mailserver.com'. I have to use '' to send the mail. I think I do it like this. mutt sends mail as usual. Then, fetchmail -S smtp.myispmailserver.net The mail bounces from myispmailserver.net with an error like [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my private domain) is urecognized domain. (exact message escapes me at this time) The question is how do I tell mutt to send all mail out through ' smtp.myispmailserver.net'? Or maybe I need to configure sendmail or fetchmail differntly?

status BSDinstaller for FreeBSD
some weeks ago there was an announcement which mentioned the new BSDinstaller Beta2, which pointed to to this url : http://meonstuff.blogspot.com/ i've downloaded the iso and tried it, and i started to realise how much i like the current FreeBSD installer what i miss in the beta2 of the BSDinstaller for FreeBSD is the following : - change console-font - set keyboard speed but much much more important : - there's no auto-defaults for partitioning - there's not the nice option to correct the disc-geometry - there are no post-install options afair on top of this the partitioning-process itself was very confusing... later i've tried dragonflyBSD (when i read that it's already using BSDinstaller), and the partitioning-process was not confusing at all also, the initial start-up colour reminded me very much of an MS-WindowsNT install, is this done on purpose for some reason ? (i like the blue and other colour-scheme from the old install better :) so.. i hope that this feedback will be read, and i'm curious what other people's experiences are here are some more urls : http://wikitest.freebsd.org/moin.cgi/BSDInstaller http://www.bsdinstaller.org/ -- grtjs, albi gpg-key: lynx -dump http://scii.nl/~albi/gpg.asc | gpg --import ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: GUI mail client recommendations ...
If that just fixes From in the header Im not sure that is entirely my problem. Since my bounces seem to be related to my localhost domain name, I wonder about a setting like described here from sendmail's manual. You can have your host masquerade as another using MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain') This causes mail being sent to be labeled as coming from the indicated host.domain, rather than $j. One normally masquerades as one of one's own subdomains (for example, it's unlikely that Berkeley would choose to masquerade as an MIT site). This behaviour is modified by a plethora of FEATUREs http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html; in particular, see masquerade_envelopehttp://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#masquerade_envelope, allmasquerade http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#allmasquerade, limited_masqueradehttp://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#limited_masquerade, and masquerade_entire_domainhttp://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#masquerade_entire_domain .

Someone may be able to provide you with a 4.8 workaround for a cvsup package (OK, I see someone did already!), but that may only be the beginning of a long train of workarounds you'd need. Using 4.11 will provide somewhat more of a panacea.

Re: 7-CURRENT

Unexpected inconsistency
Hi, I´ve received the message when the machine with freebsd 6.0 initializes: the following file system had an unexpected inconsistency: ufs: /dev/da0s1g (/data) automatic file system check failed: help! init: /bin/sh on/etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode I'm trying to run fsck -y and reboot after, but it's showing the message again.

So far it is still moving along without error. Thank You for the help Michael Guess I was too late then. I noticed this error was consistently occurring, so what I did was completed what I suggested above and everything worked. The reason for having to do that was because a) the CVSUP server I was sync'ing with for ports apparently was not in service any more, and b) I downloaded the patch directly from the bash site and that didn't seem to have worked, but instead brought up the before mentioned error about the modification times being different. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No not at all. It is frustrating to see a new error and not know why it occured (then maybe have it happen again later). I've got some years on Linux but FreeBSD is foreign enough to challenge my knowledgebase. I thank you for your help.

Re: Unexpected inconsistency
`fsck -y` does not fix *all* inconsistancies, if I recall. you *do* have backups right? try booting into single user mode and running fsck without -y.

Install 6.1 on Sparc64?
I just decided to try my first non Intel install. I've got a brand new Sun Blad 1500. I downloaded the 2 6.1 RELEAS CD's, burned them just like I do X86 ones, halted teh machine, and typed boot cdrom at the ok prompt, only to be told (very quickly) that the disk was not bootable. Just to verify the hardware, I inserted the Solaris 10 CD and did a boot cdrom Bootedfine off of this.

freebsd 6.1rc2 lacks i945 agp support
I have a Dell Optiplex 520 using i945 (ICH7) chipset. I have device agp in my kernel but /dev/agpgart is not being setup. This then effects the opertion of Xorg 6.9.x by not allowing it to load DRI and thus no XVideo support. Could someone please help to sort this out. There have been several emails to various lists but absolutely no support given what so ever.. Who maintains agp_i810.c ? Could we please get some input on this. Several others have emailed to various lists also enquiring about this exact problem only also to be unanswered. Reference to supporting errors and pciconf output can be found here http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-March/117112.html Please get back to me and I can provide whatever files/output/conf's are needed to resolve this.

Sendmail, Cyrus-IMAP, mbox, maildir, berkeley-db
I am confused as to a number of things so I'd appreciate being straighted out. I keep searching the web and looking at documentation but I'm getting more confused. Sendmail stores mail in mbox format. I'm not sure if it allows other storage formats such as maildir or berkeley-db. And if so how it's enabled. Cyrus-IMAP unless I'm mistaken by default looks for mail in the derkeley-db file format. I'm not sure if it also supports mbox and if so how to configure that.
