Help with sendmail, please
Hello,
I have a situation where I'm moving a web site off of a server running sendmail onto
another server running postfix, but in the mean time there are still some processes
running on the sendmail server that are causing problems.
The whole story is too long to post here, but basically, the old server had 2 separate
domain/host names. One of them (the correct one) is getting moved to the new server.
In order for mail sent _by_ the old server to get to the new one, I had to remove the
old hostname ("gooddomain.com") from /etc/hosts. But now, it's sending out mail as
being from the other (remaining) host name, which is causing serious issues, because
now mail appears to be coming for the other domain, which we do not want - it still
needs like have a from address of gooddomain.com (does that make any sense?).
So basically what I'm needing it to force sendmail to make the from address still be
@gooddomain.com, but I cannot add that domain back to /etc/hosts, and also I can't do
anything that would make sendmail think it's still oldserver.gooddomain.com (because
if I do, any mail it send to old-domain.com will get trapped there, instead of being
sent to the new server like it needs to..
So, is there a way to force the domain part of the sending address without screwing up
the rest of the system?
Thanks

As you see, detail is good. Then I shall assume, based on what you've told us so far: 1. all three servers use the same version of OpenSSH; 2. sshd is, in fact, running on all three servers; 3. the configurations of sshd do not differ on the three servers; 4. you're using the same client to try to connect to all three servers. Then I will suspect that on the server to which you cannot connect, you chose to use a firewall during install, and that is preventing you from connecting. If you are safely isolated from hostile networks, then do this as root: # /etc/init.d/ipchains stop and try your ssh connection again. Then we'll know if that's the problem.

No idea about those, but mine sure does. I'm running postfix 1.1.0,
from the RPMs that Chuck Mead rolled (which I believe are based on
SJ Mudd's work).
RedHat 7.1 system:
$ postconf -m
static
sdbm
pcre
nis
dbm
regexp
environ
btree
unix
hash
$ rpm -q postfix
postfix-1.1.0-2.rh70.1.pcre.tls
Not sure why it says rh70 instead of rh71, I didn't really pay that much
attention to the .spec file.

If I were going to do it now, I might not be as interested in having Linux preinstalled, but I didn't have the time to mess with trying to get Linux installed when I bought it and this way I figured I'd get hardware that was known to work fine (including sound card, etc.) with Linux.

I want to make sure that no matter what way someone tries a password it will count towards the limit of 5 failures. I would prefer to have it autounlock after a certain time of no password tries, but then I found a problem. It seems that when trying a password through telnet or ftp or whereever, if it is the wrong password there will be a delay of a few seconds. If it is the right password but the account is locked out, there will be no delay. Thus you can still brute force a password with this locking enabled, and if the lock count is cleared after an hour of no attempts, you could then login with the brute forced password. Am I going about this the wrong way? How should I do this? Andreas ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: Sendmail & quotas (restricting mail size)...
The MaxMessageSize in sendmail applies to any message sendmail touches. Sendmail does not, for the most part, distinguish between inbound and outbound; messages are messages (the one place it does distinguish is in local address handling and local delivery). POP does not fail with quotas, ipopd fails with quotas. ipopd copies the user's spool file then uses that copy, then copies it back. The default is to make this copy in the mail spool directory. Blech! First off, with large spool files that is a lot of CPU time spent copying files, and second the fact that it uses the mail spool file dir makes quotas unusable.

I have lots of wounds from the arrows slung when I have imposed quotas and message size limits, but in the end it has worked for the majority and penalized only the minority of abusers so it has been worth it. There are MTA's that will not accept if quotas are exceeded - try sending to a Yahoo account which has too much in the spool; the message is never accepted.

Same with root. It will only get the original program files. So, if you want to straighten out the fonts, the chances are it isn't in the program anyway. So, rather than uninstall it, you should likely rename ~/.netscape to something esle. Once you have it working again, just copy the things you really need (likely addressbook.pab [I think] and bootkmarks.html) over to the new .netscape directory.

Sendmail & quotas (restricting mail size)...
Hello, I have quotas set up for /var/mail to restrict the total amount of mail a person can hold in their queue. The problem with this is that sendmail will hold a file in the delivery spool until the space needed becomes available so it can deliver or after several days it will "fail" in the attempt and notify the sender. Also, some programs like POP will simply fail without notice when the quota is exceeded. I really need some more elegant way of dealing with: 1) Large mail messages. If they can people will email CDROM ISO files (you think I am kidding!). 2) Leave messages in the mail spool until the spool grows to consume as much space as you have. It does not matter how much space you have. They will not delete it! How are people dealing with this? I notice that in sendmail.cf there is a "MaxMessageSize=100" command, but I am not sure if this restricts incoming and outgoing messages. Also, I would prefer not to restrict the size of an email unless it is gigantic, rather I would prefer to deliver it and then restrict future deliveries of large email. I guess I am asking about how people deal with users that have no concept of mail spools, files sizes, etc. What is the best way to enforce some consistent email spool size policy. Being heavy handed does not help me since then I have to deal with a lot of users on a case-by-case basis for their "special" needs.

This is telling you that the code has an error.
Likely just before a ";" ;)

To troubleshoot, you need to check your source code. The gcc supplied by RH
requires ANSI C++ compliance (at least more so then some other versions of
gcc), so you may find source that doesn't compile "out-of-the-box" if it was
not written to comply with the ANSI standard.
Also, if you are "cut-and-pasting" from tutorials on web pages, be aware that
there can sometimes be characters that will cause all kinds of problems when
doing so. It is not a guaruntee, but it can happen.
This compiles fine on my system using a simple "g++ hello.cpp -o hello" (sans
quotes).
#include
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World";

Re: Sound card
The SB Audigy isn't supported in linux just yet, however I believe some work is being done and basic functionality is possible with tweaking. Try taking a look at http://www.opensound.com to see what's being done. I have the audigy gamer but haven't managed to get it to work in linux just yet. If you're looking for excellent support for a good card then the SB Live! may be your best buy. I have one in my other box and it works great.

As stated in my previous message I'm using 2.5.2, which I had to package as an RPM myself as nobody else seemed to have gotten around to it (last time I looked Redhat was still using rsync 2.4). To forstall any further helpful comments: I switched from Redhat's standard version to this one _after_ I noticed the transfer errors. I'm not really keen on trying to use a CVS snapshot version or some such for a backup system, so if they have major updates coming out in 2.5.3 I think I'll just wait for the 2.5.3 release. -- Who is this General Failure, and why is he reading my hard disk? ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

ppp and bind
After getting told to jump in the water :), and upgrading to 7.2 on this server here I did. I also ran up2date to update to all latest packages, and updated the kernel via that as well for good measure. In theory I now have the latest and greatest. So, after spending all of today fixing everything that broke (which is pretty much everything I had running), I seem to be back on-line. Lo and behold, the ppp problem I experienced on the customer's server happened to me on this server as well (complete lock-out on start-up, with only Ctrl-Alt-Dlt possible). (P.S. Dial-up on /dev/modem, configured both manually, and then tried with rp3) I've finally traced it back to the 'DEMAND' option in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0. Turning it off fixes it. I can put it on, but then I have to turn off 'ONBOOT' to get past start-up. Now, I'm SURE they're not supposed to be mutually exclusive, this has always worked fine in RH 6.2! Seems it sits there waiting indefinately for ppp to come up, which isn't going to happen because no packets have flowed yet Anybody come up with anything? Is this a bug of some sort? On second thought, I'll leave the bind part of my question for later - one thing at a time on a Sunday :) Regards, --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services Pty.
