Re: Sublist (Was: Virus-infected listmembers)
It is sad that some punk claiming he is 1337 because of the OS, app or my gawd, MUA that he uses. I take magnets, move them around my hard drive and manipulate data that way. Sometimes when I have a monitor, I type everything in binary. :) I use OE simply because I manage many many anonymous and not so anonymous Hotmail accounts (like the one I am typing from). Free e-mail is so great none of my personal and spam e-mail does not go to my work or domain e-mail. Having OE to organize and access all 7 Hotmail accounts in one setting without cluttering my work and personal e-mail accounts is a little slice of heaven. Don't quite seeing pico, mutt, kmail, evolution doing that anytime soon (doesn't have to be Hotmail but something anonymous).

I was like you for about a year, defending my outlook-express, because I liked it. Then I started using mutt and found out what a *real* MUA can do. I've used Mutt, Elm, Pico, Pine, KMail and a bunch more. And I still like Outlook Express. In short, anyone who claims they are a UNIX person and still uses MS software for their MUA is just a poseur, that's all. I bet you use pico too. Well, you're entitled to your opinion. And so am I, and you're being an asshole :) Don't get me wrong, there are valid uses for 'doze, but reading your mail isn't one of them. --Adam Dave
What is so sad... Re: OK I give up!!!
Is that I run RH because I know every little step and package to install/un- for security and whatnot. I always wonder how much easier would my life be with OpenBSD :) Let me know when DPT Ultra160 Raid Cards work with *BSD. Joe - Original Message - From: "Kurth Bemis" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Kirti S.

So folks you know where I will be during the coming weekend. your mother was starting to worry - i just call and told her where you were going to be Previously I had "qmail" working, so realize, that there is something which I did wrong. But after spending three days non-stop to figure out why POP3 in "qmail" was not working, I AM BEAT. So I am starting from scratch. I would like you help in advising me if I am installing the software in correct sequence. THIS IS A CLASS PROJECT. I am installing the following software in the order it is listed below: well...why start with redhat? its buggy as hell and in general a poor excuse for a linux distro...try something like debianor if your open to new os's try obsd. i'm telling you - dump redhat and your life will be easier...the sun will shine, the birds will sing and most of all your machine will run correctly. :-) no really tho.if your just starting our redhat is fine IMHO..however if your putting this into production i'd use something else. 1. RH 6.2 1. Install a OS that isn't a corprate money maker and install one that is supported by the community, or install one that is ultrasecure.(when i say untra secure i mean one that comes locked down - no services running - you have to enable everything see www.openbsd.org for more information) 2. Remove Apache, PHP Sendmail 2. see above step (1) 3. daemontools-0.70 4. ucspi-tcp-0.88 5. djbdns-1.05 Note: DNS must work fore next item is installed will you be running name service? thats a whole 'nother list and about 1 more week of pulling your hair out. 6. checkpassword-0.90 7. qmail-1.03 (dns error manually updated in dns.c file) Follow instructions as outlined in "qmail-HOWTO" http://www.flunder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html 7. READ LIGEWITHQMAIL @ www.lifewithqmail.org Note: Qmail must work before going forward 8. RH Patches from RH web site 8. Search securityfocus.com for latest exploits for your OS 9. Apache _1.3.12, mySQL-3.22.32, PHP-4.0.2, openssl-0.9.5a, mod_ssl-2.6.6 I followed installation outline in http://www.devshed.com/server_side/PHP/SoothinglySeamless/page1.html to install these packages you forgot to read life with qmail!!! read it it's everything that you need to know...its a walkthrough and everything! www.lifewithqmail.org! READ IT! don't even download qmail until you've read it. Please tell me if this sequence is the right one. Also is there any patches I am missing. I noticed that several people have discussed several patches to Qmail! yeppers - you forgot to read life with qmail. :-) Thanks for everybody's help. All of you folks are very helpful. thats why were here :-) Kirti
Re: qmail speed solaris
I heard that the 15k rpm drives from Seagate have a difficult time under some RAID cards? Is this still true?

That may be the main issue right there. Try putting the queue on its own 15kRPM SCSI disk, so nothing else is on that disk and sucking up I/O bandwidth. If that's not enough, put the queue on a pair of 15kRPM striped disks on their own hardware RAID controller.

Newbie... couple of basic questions...
I am a newbie sysadmin who has just setup his very first e-mail server running RH 7.0 with OpenSSH, qmail and qmail-pop3d (utilizing maildir's). I been having problems with sending out e-mail (i.e. not at all) so my question would be: besides qmail.org and 'life with qmail', can anyone recommend any good sources on installing, maintaining and tweaking qmail. Thanks in advance... Joe Louthan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Newbie... couple of basic questions...
At least I am on the right track. I searched Bookpool.com (cheaper than amazon and this Bookpool won't try to copyright html :) and this was the only book about qmail so like a fish drinking water, I bought the book a couple day ago.
