Actually, this was removed a while back, as it wasn't being maintained, and I'm using a copy of the ebuild I saved locally.

Also, if you don't need the complete MSWindows desktop and you have a server handy, you could run the MSWindows VM there and access the PowerShell application remotely with RemoteApp. HTH. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] Is there a PowerShell package?
Hi, for a special job I need to do a piece of work in Microsofts PowerShell, but I have no Windows machine running. I know that there is a PowerShell for Linux because I have one installed on a Ubuntu. Yet, I do not want to shut down my Gentoo and boot Ubuntu every time when I have to try something in PowerShell. I would like to install it on Gentoo. I did not find a PowerShell package in the portage directories and I did not find anything by Google. Is there a package at all (maybe somewhere in the overlays) and I did just miss to enter the right search terms? Thanks in advance.

By "Free SMTP Relay" do you mean free software (like Postfix), or do you mean free service? If you want a free SMTP relay service, well, good luck with that, at least if you want anybody to actually receive your mail. Spam has basically ensured that any such relays get blocked eveywhere. Now, you can certainly find cheap SMTP relays, just not free ones. I'm using Amazon SES for my outbound Postfix mail. There are a ton of services out there and the most economical option probably depends on your volume, and also what you're doing. Amazon isn't really list-friendly as they require the From to be something you own (so no bouncing). If you're trying to run a relay that's pretty straightforward, but you need to run it on an IP that has a good reputation or nobody will actually get your email. You're going to end up paying for that IP one way or another. -- Rich
