Re: [newbie] kmail problem
On Thursday 07 April 2005 07:52, Q.H. Wang wrote: Hi Folks, Recently I got a problem that I could frequently receive emails, which, I guess, are supposedly sent to my colleague. Although most of those emails are spam mails, I believe, it's kinda annoying. Because I don't know whether this problem comes from? Could anyone tell something by analysizing the following property from one of those emails. It's a problem of my Kmail, or my mail server or the guy deliberately sent those emails to me. What could give me a hint is, my email box does appear in the X-Real-To area. Many thanks. That is also probably the answer to your question. The X-Real-To appears to be the MTA's header that signals what it received in the mail header as the target or To: of the mail. The To: line that you see in Kmail is actually part of the body of the mail message, not the mail header. MTA's use the header and not the body to direct mail to the recipient so the body piece is ignored, except perhaps by your Kmail filters and the like. So, it appears that some spammer has figured out that he can send mail to you with a fake To: line in the body and try to avoid spam filters in that fashion. I have had this happen in my system as well with spammers forging From: lines in the body instead in an attempt to bypass spam filters. Since my MTA actually filters on the headers, it doesn't work but I do see the results. You might want to create another filter and make it filter on the body and simply dump all messages that appear to be for your colleague. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

However, that usually only runs once per night so if the file has been removed and updatedb has not run yet, slocate will show an improper location for a file that is not there. Run updatedb as root from CLI and then do a locate kmail and you might find that it is not on your system. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I hadn't a clue what I was doing, which makes it harder to recall - but I think there were a couple of very similar-sounding formats, one of which worked and the other didn't. Also, I know I tried the different kaddressbook import formats, by exporting to a .csv file and importing list, and by exporting to a vcard. It may be that one that worked, because I also use GnomeCard, and I think that used vcard as an import. Sorry for rambling on - just thinking aloud and hoping that something here gets you on the right lines. Not terribly helpful, I'm afraid, except to say that importing does work, once you find the best format for compatibility.

Femmelar Not sure if it is applicable or not, but I think I figured out why my messages were not going out to the Mandrake list. I was sending them out through smtp to my local Postfix server and from there relaying through my ISP's mail server. Mandrake must have the UCE protections on their server turned on and for some reason, it is rejecting mail from me, probably because my local server is not pushing messages from a fully qualified domain with an MX. I solved it by creating a second identity along with a second outgoing account that sends mail direclty to my ISP's mail server. I associated the second outgoing account with the second identity and made it the default for the mailing list. Now my mail goes through. If you are using a local mail server and none of your mail goes out, it is possible that your ISP has turned off Port 25 on your network and won't allow you to originate mail from your connection. Earthlink does this. I have to relay mail through the ISP (smarthost) or else it does not get delivered. BTW, if my failures to mail to the list are due to UCE controls, Mandrake has it configured poorly. They should be sending bounces back to me but instead are simply dropping the messages. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I run it using rxvt, which has a black background with white text. Plus you can customize all your colors using your muttrc and vimrc. It's also sweet to do mail without ever touching the mouse. My major obstacle was learning how to delete lines quickly in vi. If you don't know the basics of vi, Mutt might annoy you. My set up works like this: fetchmail gets mail from my isp and brings it to my box, procmail delivers the mail to my different folders. The basic commands I use in Mutt are d delete message ctrl-d delete thread c change folder/mailbox S send message to spam folder m write new mail r reply f forward I'm happy to help you learn to use Mutt, just let me know what you're interested in learning and doing with it.
