You'll then need to enter the entire path to thunderbird. I don't know
where it is installed on your machine, so 'locate thunderbird' might
give you a clue.
Adding the %s will add the e-mail address of the person to whom you are
sending e-mail that is in the link.

Open Source exchange replacement.  Then, all you have to do is find a client.  
If they already use Outlook, they can continue to use it, or you can find any 
open source client that can access Exchange since opengroupware is 
essentially a replacement for exchange.  Might Try Mozilla.  On Linux 
Evolution works but I don't know if they make an Evolution client for 
Windows.

Also, Treo sync should work with any synchronization client that supports 
outlook, whatever other client is used to access exchange.

Note, I haven't set this up and probably wouldn't, there are much easier 
replacements that don't have to be totally exchange compatible that will do 
all the groupware stuff, but since you specified continuing in a windows 
environment and syncing with Palm, you are kind of limiting your choices.

[newbie] Email, Calendar, Scheduling, Address Book, synchronization (without Outlook)

[Thinker]

Hello All,
 I have a client with 5 machines/users on a peer to peer network. The 
only network resource they share is access to the Internet. About an 
hour ago, he asked me to help him set up email addresses for the 5 
people in the office. He visited a friend that has an exchange server 
and all of the employees are using outlook. He asked me if I could set 
his office up the same way.

After going over the potential security risks associated with using 
Exchange and Outlook, I think I finally have him convinced that 
Outlook/Exchange is a bad idea. He is now giving me the opportunity to 
come up with more secure alternatives. This is where I need the help.

He wants to be able to open the program or website and schedule a 
meeting with the people that he needs to attend. Those people should in 
turn receive an email (or whatever notice possible) stating the meeting 
has been scheduled, who scheduled it and should be allowed to confirm 
that they will be there.

There should be a universal address book that allows you to associate 
birthdays and anniversaries with contacts and those birthdays and 
anniversaries should show up on the calendar.

They already have PCs or laptops which are either running Windows XP or 
Windows 2000. They have a spare machine that I could install Linux on 
if need be, but the users will still have to run Windows on their 
machines.

If there is a web based solution for all of this, they can get the web 
space if needed. The main thing is, he wants to be able to sync all of 
this with his Handspring Treo.

I am hoping for a 'lower cost' solution. Lower cost as in a lot closer 
to free. Something I could just install on a spare machine and let it 
run; or something I could install on a web server.

Any ideas? Is there such an animal?

You are correct.  That wouldn't be a solution for me.  However - the 
person asking  the question originally asked for a client that can 
be used for both Win 2K and Mandrake.  He didn't specify that they 
be interactive - though that would be ideal, I imagine.  I do know 
that Tbird works for both Win and Mdk.  Since his ISP doesn't 
support IMAP I suppose my suggestion is worthless anyway   ;-)

If you use two different mail programms or just two different installtions
of the same email client, your solution would only have the incomming mails
in both programms, it would not help to have a common history of the emails
sent however.

Mozilla Thunderbird.I'm pretty sure if you leave the mail on the
server (check option to delete from server when it's deleted
locally) you'd have access to it from both.  Earthlink (my email
client) is POP but has that IMAP-like option.

If you are going to keep your mail on a local drive, you are kind of in a 
tight spot.  If you use a FAT32 partition for it, then essentially, your mail 
is an open book to anyone with access to the computer cause unix file 
permissions don't work on FAT32 and there is not anyway that I know of to 
secure FAT32.  If you are going to use a Linux filesystem, then you won't 
have access to it on the Windows side.

IMAP is the only way that I know of to keep your mail accessible to both 
environments and that needs a server so unless you have a machine sitting 
around that you can work into an independent mail server, I don't know how 
you can arrange to share mail between dual boot machines.

The way I see it, the mail client you use is not really material.  It is the 
location of the mail itself and the filesystem that is used.  Beyond that, 
you can use any combination of mail clients that support the same mail 
structure, either mbox or maildir.  Finding one, like Mozilla, say, that work 
the same in both environments is the easy part.  Unless I am missing 
something and making this more complicated than it actually is.

That's a bit iffy at best.

You COULD, however, experiment to see if you can use Mozilla Thunderbird
and have the local folder pointing to a shared VFAT32 partition; they
should store the data in the same format for both OS's - however, it
would be an experiment.

Postfix must be seeing the mail if it's delivering it to the spool, that's
what Postfix does. Fetchmail wouldn't know where to put the mail, it just
passes it to whoever is listening on port 25, ie. Postfix.

Now that the mail's in /var/spool/mail/kasper, anyone who sets their mail
client to the address of your mail server, and provides your username and
password, will get whatever is in the spool (assuming you installed the
'imap' software package).

Now you can either separate out the mail using Procmail (by From:, or
whatever) to different folders and different users, but it would be a lot
easier to get seperate e-mail addresses from the ISP for each user, then set
up accounts for them on the mail server.

I have just updated the guide on my homepage for setting up a mail server.

It also covers checking the mail for viruses and spam, but of course you can

Hey Derek.

I tried altering the main.cf file as you suggest on your page but Postfix
doesnt see any mails. Fetchmail gets the messages fine and it delivers the
mail to '/var/spool/mail/kasper'. Where to go from here?

Probably not quite.  If the users will be sending mail out and you are on a 
dial-up or dynamic IP connection with no DNS MX records, you may have to 
setup Postfix to relay mail through the ISP's mail server.  An awful lot of 
mail servers don't accept smtp traffic from dynamic IP ranges, or if the 
server is  not the MX of record for the domain.  That is assuming that your 
ISP is not totally blocking outgoing port 25 traffic, as does Earthlink and 
several other ISP's.

The other fix is to have the mail clients relay outgoing mail directly through 
the ISP but pop mail from the local server.  I prefer just getting Postfix to 
relay.

Do you have fetchmail and postfix installed? You should if you chose to add
a mailserver during the install process.

If not, 

urpmi postfix fetchmail fetchmailconf imap

or if you want fetchmail as a system service:

urpmi postfix fetchmail-daemon fetchmailconf imap

then create user accounts for all the LAN members.

configure fetchmail by running fetchmailconf, or edit the text yourself if you
wish, it looks something like this:

set postmaster "whatever"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 600

poll pop.whatever.com with proto POP3
   user '' there with password '' is 'kasper' here options
nokeep


poll pop.whatever.com with proto POP3
   user '' there with password '' is 'lanuser1' here options
nokeep

poll pop.whatever.com with proto POP3
   user '' there with password '' is 'lanuser2' here options
nokeep

etc.

See 'man fetchmail' for more options. When the file is saved, either save it to
/etc/fetchmailrc of ~/.fetchmailrc, depending on whether you are funning
fetchmail as a system service or not.

Now set the LAN mail clients to pop the IP of the mailserver, and yer done.

Well, hopefully ;-)

[newbie] email reminders

I am looking for a way to send email reminders to myself. These would be to 
remind me of meetings, etc. I tried Kmail but have been unable to find a way 
to send delayed email messages. I am currently using Korganizer and Kalarm, 
but haven't found a way to use them to send email to myself. I need the 
reminders in email because I am often not at this system when I need the 
reminders. I can check email from other locations though.

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

Re: [newbie] email woes - reply Lanman

[Lanman]

Hmmm, ...Tough one Curt. You seem to be receiving the emails I'm sending to the list, 
and I assume the emails from others on the list. If the DNS records were changed for 
your ISP's SMTP server, it could take quite a while for some DNS servers to get 
updated, and others would/could already be updated. Your family's ISP may not be 
updated yet.

Your returned email this morning could have been for the same reason. If I were to 
change the IP or DNS records of my email server here, I'd see the same kind of 
problems. Of course, it could be for another reason that I haven't thought of. This 
seems to be happening more and more these days. I think it's a fact that you forget 
things more and more as your head gets more gray hair (?) !

I guess I was wanting to be convinced that there's nothing wrong on my
end, even though it seems obvious.
But if what you say is the case, wouldn't I be getting email sent to,
say this list and tests from my family are being returned to them as
of this morning.
Plus I just got this on a message sent this morning:

Your message has encountered delivery problems
to the following recipient(s):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Delivery failed
550 rejected: cannot route to sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Sent:(message data)
Received:550 rejected: cannot route to sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Maybe this means I've been removed from the list due to bounces? It's
happened before with this list... one email bounced got me removed.
Thanks for the input.

Because the mail reader is too dumb to do something sensible with
(MIME) multipart types it doesn't recognize. This mail will probably
have the mentioned problem, because I digitally sign my mails which
results in a content-type of multipart-signed with my (textual) reply
as first part and the signature as second one.

The sensible thing to do for the mailer would be to simply try it's
best and treat unknown multipart types like multipart-mixed and simply
display the text/plain content (and put the signature, which is not
text/plain, as an attachment).

Btw, multipart-signed is standartized for over 10 years or so,
i.e. it's not that this is about supporting bleeding-edge stuff.

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain.
Don't bother asking for explanations, she'll just tell you that she came
In the Year of the Cat.

She doesn't give you time for questions, as she locks up your arm in hers,
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction completely disappears.
By the blue-tiled walls near the market stall there's a hidden door she
leads you to.
These days, she say, I feel my life just like a river running through
The Year of the Cat.

Well, she looks at you so coolly,
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea.
She comes in incense and patchouli,
So you take her to find what's waiting inside
The Year of the Cat.

Well, morning comes and you're still with her, but the bus and the tourists
are gone,
And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket, so you have to stay on.
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain in the rhythm of the new-born day.
You know some time you're bound to leave her, but for now you're going to stay
In the Year of the Cat.

You're partially right.

Evolution takes as input some sort of HTML format, so you have to
replace spaces used for formatting by " " (no quotes). This is the
reason for
sed -e "s/ /\ /g"

Additionally, you have to make your own HTML end-of-line, so you need:
sed -e "s/$//g"

Finally, Evolution doesn't insert the "--" line to signal the beginning
for script generated signatures. That's the reason for
echo "--"

This way, using your script, I will need to use the two sed pipes in
every line. Nothing wrong with that, but I prefer using them only once
even when my script has to write three times to disk.

Of course there a zillion ways to do this, but writing all that output to
other files is not necessary. For example,

echo "firma o lo que quieras"
date -R
uptime
fortune

does the same thing. The echo "--" I think should be echo "-- " (two
hyphens and a space) and may not even be necessary depending on your MUA;
Sylpheed uses that as a delimiter by default, I think Mozilla too, don't
know Evolution.

I just finished with this one.

My final script is:

date -R > /tmp/fecha.txt
uptime > /tmp/corriendo.txt
/usr/games/fortune > /tmp/dicho.txt
echo "--"
cat ~/scripts/firma.txt /tmp/fecha.txt /tmp/corriendo.txt /tmp/dicho.txt

There have been some issues with the Evo generated sigs - so the
resolution to that is to either dig deeper into how it works, or create
your own script OUTSIDE of Evo to do it. I tried mucking around with it
over and over again and even employed some of the "HTML tactics" to get
it working, but alas, I'm sticking with my hand generated one...

echo "The current tune is $( grep Title: /tmp/xmms-info | awk -F': '

The xmms-info is just to see if xmms is running and if it is it prints the
song title.

You can create your own fortune list by putting the quotes in a file--one
per line, separated by a line with %. Then you run "strfile filename" and
it creates the .dat file for that list. So, when you call fortune, you can
specify the file you want to use. You can also decide to use a percentage
from each set you've got. For example, see all the collections in
/usr/share/games/fortunes. You could say use 80% from politics and 20%
from startrek.

Man fortune is your friend on this one.

The challenge of space exploration and particularly of landing men on the moon
represents the greatest challenge which has ever faced the human race.  Even
if there were no clear scientific or other arguments for proceeding with this
task, the whole history of our civilization would still impel men toward the
goal.  In fact, the assembly of the scientific and military with these human
arguments creates such an overwhelming case that in can be ignored only by
those who are blind to the teachings of history, or who wish to suspend the
development of civilization at its moment of greatest opportunity and drama.

You need to set up a mail transfer agent, I'm using Postfix. It's really
easy to set up, you only have to change one or two things in the config
file. Also, anything you want to change regarding Postfix can easily be
changed using Webmin.

I'm running a list using Mailman. The version (I think it was 2.0.8) that
I got with the MD 8.2 download edition was giving me fits, so I downloaded
a newer RPM (version 2.0.11) and it worked like a charm.

Sympa is also on your CDs, but looking at how to set it up gave me a
headache; Mailman was pretty simple and straightforward.

I'm not sure about the security issues in running a mail server, I have
not had any problems yet. The default configurations for the MTAs are
pretty sensible.

Let me know if you decide to go with Mailman and need any help.

[newbie] Email List server

What is involved in setting up a email list 
server? I have a LM 8.2 machine that is a web/ftp server and I would like 
to start an email discussion list. I do not have anything for mail running and I 
don't think I even installed things like sendmail because I had no need for them 
and did not want to worry about open ports I am not using so I will have to know 
what software to install also. I don't really want to run an email server but I 
need the list so help in getting it going and secure is what I am looking 
for.

You can set up an alias in /etc/aliases, such as:

root:   yourusername

and run "newaliases".

Of course, this will send you all of root's mail.

Just add

MAILTO=

to the top of root's crontab and you should be fine.

Re: [newbie] Email Service

SMTP is the default setup in Mandrake for mail service. Although postfix and
fetchmail will talk to ISP POP3 accounts, I have never seen anyone talking on
the list about setting up a POP3 server. Do you specifically need POP3?

My problem is that once I fix something, I never remember how I did it :(

So, are you running Postfix or some other mailer? Have you verified that
the service is running either through Webmin or the Control Center?

If you are running a firewall, make sure you don't have your mailer
blocked. 

Can you send mail to an outside addy using your local account?

[newbie] Email Service

[Pauljames Dimitriu]

Hi All,

 Forgive if this message appears twice, but I
don't see it on the list.

 Question:  How do I set up my computer as a POP3
account?  When I try to send a message to my account
on my Linux machine, I get the following "bounce"
back:

554 : Recipient address rejected: Relay
access denied 554 5.0.0 ... Service
unavailable

 I have my IP address configured correctly on the
DNS end and I have the proper port forwarding on my
router.  How can I check to see if POP3 service is
running?  If it is running, what could be the problem?

 Thanks again,

 Paul

Hi,

 I'm trying to send messages to my account on my

address set up correctly, I have port forwarding for
POP3 on my router, but I get the following:

(reason: 554 : Recipient address rejected:

 What does this mean and how can I fix this?  How
can I check to see if POP3 is working?

Re: [newbie] email from command prompt

I am trying to understand what you want. This isn't especially clear to me as
another newbie but i guess the question you want answered is can "mail" talk
direct to a SMTP server out of your box. I am probably way out in left feild as
i understand that on a standard setup this is the domain of postfix (or postfix
pretending it is "sendmail"). The question still remains though... can mail
address a SMTP server on the net directly. In my situation i get my mail as POP3
(with fetchmail) and send it as SMTP to my ISP (preconfigured using sendmail).

I agree Gerald's reply doesn't address my understanding of this question either.
More info please Gerald! 

Meanwhile Jim, i am off to reread man mail, man mailaddr, man sendmail, all the
*.cf files in /etc/postfix/, and scan the HOWTO's. I am interested in any
replies you get as well.

My interest stems from looking at writing my mail offline (while my partner is
on the phone, which exceeds the time i am usuallly online). I want to post it to
the bowels of my box and have it post on from there from something in my
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local file.

Re: [newbie] Email client that allows checking of hotmail

[James Thomas]

Hotmail uses HTTP, not POP3. I can easily check it using Navigator/Mozilla 
or whatever, but I like the convenience of using a program like Outlook 
Express instead of a web browser just to check my email.

So I guess a better question is there an email client out there (I played 
with Sylpheed a little and I REALLY like it, too bad it doesn't) that 
supports the HTTP protocol for checking email?

Thanks,

James

Assuming Hotmail is just another POP3 mail server,
most of the common E-mail clients will fetch your
E-mail from your Hotmail account.  For example, I use
a @yahoo.com E-mail account for my mailing lists and I
retrieve them using Sylpheed.  I used to use KMail for
the same thing and it worked fine also.  You jsut need
to configure the account settings properly in your
EMail client (the POP3 server name, username,
password,etc...).

Let me know if you have any specific questions
concerning setup.

Good luck,

Mel

Dunno about an application to put in that box, but you could run Mail Monitor
