Re: [OT] pine and Maildir (was: Maildir versus malibox)
On Sat, 20 Jan 2001 20:24:05 -0500 (EST), Piotr Kasztelowicz [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: P I will not say, that mutt is not-useful, but it could be better :-) For P me - the first problem is how make, that the sent mail shall be placed P in sent folder. If you want a copy of all your sent messages, I'd use qmail for that instead of relying on anything else. Assuming your userid is "pekasz", have your MUA add a header to outgoing messages: Bcc: pekasz-bcc Create ~/.qmail-bcc holding the following line: | (preline /bin/cat; echo) $HOME/mail/sentmail This way, you get a copy of the message as it was seen by qmail. I've been using this method for quite some time with no problems. Since I use procmail to handle filtering, I also save portions of outgoing message headers in case I lose someone's address: % cat ~/.qmail-header | (preline formail -XFrom: -XSubject: -XDate: -XTo: -XCc: -XMessage-ID: ; echo) $HOME/mail/SENT.`/bin/date +%Yw%W` (all on one line, of course). -- Karl Vogel[EMAIL PROTECTED] ASC/YCOA, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433, USA Never criticize a man till you've walked a mile in his shoes.

Change to envdir for completely clean environment
Greetings:
I like to use "/bin/env - PATH=..." to start things off with a clean
environment, but someone recently reminded me of the existence of envdir.
The patch below tells envdir to zap the environment if the directory
used as the first argument has the sticky bit turned on.
Comments welcome.

Good review of qmail on securityfocus.com
http://www.securityfocus.com/focus/linux/articles/qmail.html Replacing your MTA with qmail Jeremy Rauch [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, Aug 28 2000 ... By taking a modular approach, and running with the lowest possible privileges, qmail is able to markedly improve the security stance of machines it is installed on. Unlike many security related packages, however, it is easy to build, install and configure. With qmail being as easy to use as it is, there are few reasons more people shouldn't be running it. ... -- Karl Vogel ASC/YCOA, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]

# NAME:
# avail-ids
#
# SYNOPSIS:
# avail-ids
#
# DESCRIPTION:
# Look for a nice range of open ids in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
#
# We only check for stuff over userid or groupid 100; if nothing
# is found, then we don't have any user/group ids that high, so
# we just print the first seven after 100.
#
# The resulting commands should look something like this:
# groupadd -g 1000 nofiles
# groupadd -g 1001 qmail
#
# useradd -g nofiles -u 1000 -d /var/qmail/alias alias
# useradd -g nofiles -u 1001 -d /var/qmail qmaild
# useradd -g nofiles -u 1002 -d /var/qmail qmaill
# useradd -g nofiles -u 1003 -d /var/qmail qmailp
#
# useradd -g qmail -u 1004 -d /var/qmail qmailq
