[newbie] Re: Cannot send email to list..?

2001-12-25 Thread Kaj Haulrich

Merry Christmas to all, especially Civileme, Sridhar, Ed, Tom and all of
you helpful people !

Who can help Mick (a fellow-newbie in need) ? - He had a hard time
setting up his new linux-mandrake-system, and I've tried to help him to
the best of my ability. After some hazzles he succeeded to get his
linux-box up and running, but now he somehow can't post to this list ???
- I wrote to Mick as follows :


Well Mick, I'm not sure, but it seems that it's the Mandrake-server that
refuses to accept your mail ?
Anyway, I can see that you are using some mailer called Microsoft
Outlook Express. As far as I know, that mailer is better known as a
virus propagator and trojan horse dispenser, so maybe the folks at
Mandrake have taken their precautions - eh ?

Furthermore, I can see that your mail is in html-format. - Most people
on our list prefer to receive mail in plain text - not that I think it
matters much ?

Mick, I'm in no way a mail-guru, so the right place to ask your question
is the list. However, it seems that you are unable to do that right now 
! - Accordingly I'll put it there for you. 

Help Mick anyone ???

 Hello Kaj,
 
 Have you ever come across this before. As of a day or two ago, I can
 no longer post to the newbie list on Mandrake. My emails are
 constantly being returned as errors. I called my ISP and asked them to
 look into the matter. I can recieve email from the list, so I am still
 subscribed to it. I am including the latest error message from my ISP
 if it'll help. I can also send and recieve email from everyone else in
 my address book, but not 'to' the 'Newbie' list!
 I even tried using my wifes machine to post to the list, still
 nothing.
 
 Even more annoying, is the fact that since I have tried to setup a
 network and Connection Sharing configuration in 'Control Center' and
 failed, I can no longer recieve email or reach a web address using my
 Linux box! I don't suppose there is an undo button??
 I have tried to quit the network connection between my box and the
 wifes computer, but this has not helped. It seems there are settings
 set on my Linux box that is stopping it from using an ordinary
 Internet connection using it's own modem.
 If you can advise, please send it my way, if not hey here goes another
 install!
 Merry Christmas.
 Mick

The newbie list's address was probably blacklisted by the ISP. This is often
triggered when the list server continuously tries to send messsages to a full
mailbox (any box held on the ISP's servers). Mick will have to try to clear
things up with the ISP.

  Even more annoying, is the fact that since I have tried to setup a

For network connection sharing,

1. eth0 should be your local network connection

2. On connected computers, dhcp protocol should be set Get an address 
automatically Under Network NeighborhoodTCP/IPPropertiesIP Address

3. On connected computers the gateway _must_ be set to 192.168.0.1

4.  eth1 should be connnected to the internet by whatever means you use 
as standard unless you use a modem.  Default gateway device should be 
eth1 or ppp0 as appropriate.

Now nexbie mail might be rejected if the subscriber's email  is not 
correct, but usually with a confirmation message allowing 
non-subscribers to post anyway.  Your rejection is quite odd.  While we 
have had other users request information on rejecting Outlook from their 
servers entirely because the viruses like SirCam are eating up too much 
space and bandwidth, I don't think we have implemented our own advice on 
our servers.
