If a message is sent to a non Blotes mail system, the MTA converts it to standard (usually very poorly, I'm sure the same is true of Exchange). If a user connects to the Blotes server with a standard client, such as Mozilla, via POP/IMAP they cannot view the formatting of the message properly because it is still in a Blotes proprietary format.

Re: another small problem with networking
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Tue, 07 Jan 2003 07:57:00 +1000 begin Keith Antoine [EMAIL PROTECTED] spewed forth: At 05:55 PM 5/01/2003 -0500, you wrote: If you want to know how to put both Win boxes on the same subnet using the bridge tools, let me know and I'll provide you a short SxS. Ciao, David A. Bandel I would appreciate that very much thank you, David. OK, sorry to take so long (kinda busy). First a little theory so you understand what's going on. Basically there are three networking devices: gateways, routers, and bridges. These are systems that normally have multiple interfaces. For our (very limited) purposes, gateways and routers are the same (please don't flame, I know better, but I want to talk about bridges) -- they accept a packet on one interface and route it out another interface depending on its destination. Normally, they will have more than one interface, but this isn't required (you can put one interface on two separate subnets and route, but this is non-optimal and requires turning off redirects). These devices are visible as a hop in a traceroute. Other systems that are neither routers, gateways, nor bridges can have multiple interfaces to provide redundancy, massive parallel processing, or for ethernet bonding (called Trunking by SUN or Etherchannel by Cisco) but these are not considered here. Bridges work a little differently. A system used as a bridge will have multiple interfaces. Whereas in routers and gateways, each interface will have one or more unique IP(s) on separate networks, a bridge combines multiple interfaces into what looks like one interface. This interface is only visible when the system it is on is addressed directly. Otherwise, the bridging system is invisible in a traceroute when tracerouting from one side of the bridge to the other. That is, for all intents and purposes, the bridge doesn't exist. How does this work? Well, let's say we have three interfaces on a system - -- eth0 goes to the world, and eth1 and eth2 are bridged. eth0 will have a unique IP on its network. eth1 and eth2 will be combined and called br0. Neither will get a unique IP, but the bridge device will get a unique IP. Now eth1 and eth2 both have unique MAC addresses. So when each are connected to a different physical (but not logical) network segment, they will listen for unanswered arp broadcasts on their physical network and broadcast that arp request on the other physical network segment. As the bridge hears replies, it will learn on which physical segment each IP/MAC pair is on and act accordingly. So let's say you have: Host foo: 192.168.0.2 connected to eth1 of the bridge (192.168.0.1, MAC ..:00) Host bar: 192.168.0.3 connected to eth2 of the bridge (192.168.0.1, MAC ..:01) (for simplicity, the first 5 duplets of the MAC address represented by ..) when foo tries to talk to bar, it (foo) will first send an arp who-has request. the bridge will see it unanswered, so on the second or third broadcast, it will duplicate the broadcast on its other interface (eth1 or MAC ...:01). bar will now see the arp who-has and reply. The bridge will pass the reply to foo and the two will communicate through the unseen bridge as if connected to the same hub or switch. In order to actually put the bridge into operation, you need support in the kernel (Networking Options -- 802.1d Ethernet Bridging) as either builtin or a module (I suggest a module). Then you'll need the bridging tools (may or may not be available with your distro). The specific program you'll use is: brctl (usually /usr/sbin/brctl or /sbin/brctl) To create a bridge, you first need to define the bridge: brctl addbr br0 after running the above, if you run: `ifconfig -a` you'll see br0. now you just need to add interfaces to it: brctl addif eth1 br0 this adds the interface eth1 to br0. add any other interfaces: brctl addif eth2 br0 for more info see `man brctl` After adding your interfaces, you treat br0 as you would eth0 by assigning an IP to it: ifconfig br0 192.168.0.1 ... Note: if you put another bridge on one of the bridged ethernet segments, _don't_ play with the spanning tree protocol (stp) unless you know what you're doing. The Spanning Tree Protocol is used by interconnected bridges to find the shortest, most efficient path between two systems. They do this by exchanging bridge protocol datagrams (if you use wireless APs that have WDS, wireless distribution system, aka a wireless backbone, they'll make extensive use of STP on the WDS side). If you alter the stp (and don't keep them in sync) your network will suffer horribly and may stop working altogether. STP prevents looping and more. Leave the defaults. Basically, the above is all there is to it (for a single bridge consisting of two or more interfaces). Note: when a system first comes on the net, it may take a few seconds the first time it tries to contact a system on the other side of the

I guess that you need a valid shell so rsync can exec rsync on the remote host. There's a project called rssh (http://freshmeat.net/projects/rssh/). It's no exactly what you need but comes very close. Basically, it's a shell that restricts just to remote exec of scp and/or sftp (no interactive shell).

It *is* accessible by pressing the letter L, however. And I've added it to the toolbar. So, I guess I don't care what's in the reply to field, now :-) BTW, a new feature (at least I *think* it's new) in kmail version 1.5 is a delete button that actually deletes the message instead of moving it to trash. You can still move messages to trash, if you like, but you can also *really* delete a message. I also like the ability to set expiration rules in individual mail folders in kmail. But I digress...
