Re: OpenSMTPD and aliases
Hi all, I was hoping someone on the list could confirm for me what the proper format for the ~/.forward file is for use with procmail (and OpenSMTPd on OpenBSD). Currently I have ~/.forward | /usr/local/bin/procmail but other information I've seen says it should be "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail || exit 75 #your_user_name" Which is correct, or is there a different format altogether that I should be using? --- Some context of why I ask about this: - yes, I'm a procmail newbie. - I've seen my current ~/.forward file (the first version above) works as expected when mail is sent to an individual user, however when I define an alias for OpenSMTPd that points to a list of users, mail sent to the alias is delivered to only a subset of intended recipients. So for an alias like: mylist: us...@example.com, us...@example.com, us...@example.com,us...@example.com An email to myl...@example.com will be alias expanded correctly by OpenSMTPd, but only some of the users in the list will actually get the mail (the users WITHOUT .forward file reliably get the mail, and ONLY ONE of the users WITH a .forward file gets it) I'm not sure how to work around this. Perhaps my .forward files contain the wrong invocation of procmail, or there is a bug in (my version of) OpenSMTPd. Any comments would be appreciated. :-) Sarah
Am looking for an external hard drive enclosure that can hold multiple laptop drives and connects to OBSD host via USB.
Hi all, I'd like to reuse some of the old laptop hard drives (parallel ATA) that I have laying around, preferably by putting them all into an external drive enclosure and then plugging that into an OpenBSD computer via USB 2 port. Then I imagine I can create RAID volumes via Softraid. Anyone know of a drive enclosure (make & model) that can hold between 3 and 6 PATA laptop drives and can present them via a single USB bus to a host computer.? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Regards, :-) Sarah
MPD-0.15.7 will not do httpd streamingi on my system.
Hi.
I'm at my wits end with httpd streaming from mpd-0.15.7.
I installed the latest mpd package from snapshots and its installs fine on my
Openbsd -current system.
I modified the /etc/mpd.conf file by adding my music directory and set the
bind_to_address to "any"
audio_output {
type"httpd"
name"My HTTP Stream"
encoder "vorbis"# optional, vorbis or lame
port"8000"
# quality "5.0" # do not define if bitrate is
bitrate "128" # do not define if quality is
format "44100:16:1"
}
All this makes the control port 6600 show up (in netstat), but I can't for the
life of me get port 8000 to be open - thus no streaming.
I've tried to start mpd via "sudo mpd" and that still doesn't help.
Is there something I'm missing?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
:-)
Sarah
P.S.: My music files are all mp3 files, but varying the encoder setting above
make no difference.

PowerEdge 850 for a small office firewall
Hi all. I'm in the process of planning an upgrade to our office firewall, and am happy that I get to use OpenBSD -current. :-) The hardware I'm considering is a Dell PowerEdge 850 server with four GbE NICs (two built-in and two on an expansion card) We have 25 people on a private IP subnet NATed to a handful of public IPs We'll be using a high-speed cable modem connection - 50 Mbps down/10Mbps up - as our primary Internet link, with a slower aDSL link as a backup. In addition to the PF firewall I want to use the box as an (bridged) OpenVPN endpoint for 3-5 folks. - So I was hoping to learn if others on the list are using a PowerEdge 850 for this type of firewalling scenario, and to hear any anecdotes about the 850s in such a dual application. Specifically I'm wondering about the Pentium D CPU on the 850. I know an MP Kernel won't help with PF (and may actually hinder things), but perhaps an MP Kernel might help with a PF and OpenVPN combination? Maybe I should run a Generic, rather than Generic-MP, kernel even though the chip is dual core? If you are happy with your PowerEdge 850 firewall, perhaps you'd be willing to share your hardware configuration? or perhaps there is another hardware configuration I should consider? (I'll be buying the box on eBay or Craigslist, and have a slight personal bias toward Dell servers) Thanks in advance for any input, advise or opinions.
