Check the hosts file and make sure each machine has a reference to itself that does not require DNS to resolve.

The correct format for using an IP address in an email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] The square brackets are required. This is a deprecated feature of SMTP and may not be supported by the sending mail software. That said, the default in RH9 is for sendmail not to listen for external connections. On top of that, your ISP may be blocking incoming connections on port 25 that are not destined for it's SMTP servers. Tony -- Anthony E.

I have recently begun to use the database access features of OpenOffice.org. It makes a fair frontend to a network database server but you definitely need to know SQL to get the most from it. You should also know the OOo Basic scripting language if you want to build an app. For a single-user desktop database, OOo can create and manage DBF files internally.

It depends on what you need. Access makes a decent desktop database for small apps that only hold data for a single user. It also makes a decent front end to a multiuser SQL database server like MS-SQL Server, MySQL, or my favorite, PostgreSQL. What it doesn't do well is manage large amounts of data for multiple concurrent users. Avoiding vendor lock-in is almost always a good idea. Using LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/Python/PHP) to develop Web-based apps is a good way to avoid vendor lock-in. If you're careful the app could be run on either a Windows or *nix server with only a little conversion work. >We are having a tech meeting soon where we will be discusing our future >direction and I want to go into that meeting with information and >examples. The top-level ".org" domain server for the Internet runs on PostgreSQL. The U.S. Census Bureau provides public data using MySQL.

I go to Foot->Settings->Session->Session properties and find nautilus in list of running programs.

I've been using Linux for office work for a year or so on a 1.1GHz/128RAM
box. If I were starting now I'd use Mozilla instead of Evolution. Evo is
an easy app for an Outlook user but it's a serious resource hog. Mozilla
isn't a lightweight, but at least you can do both email and web in a
single app. There is also a calendar add-in for Mozilla that seems to work
okay. I found it adequate but my calendar use is very light. YMMV.
For simple docs, I tend to use AbiWord and save as DOC or RTF. It's *much*
faster than OpenOffice. The versions I've used so far lack support for
tables, but it's coming soon.
OpenOffice is still a necessity though. The best suggestion I can make is
to load it early and keep it minimized. Waiting to start it only when
needed strains my patience.
Depending on your needs, an Oracle client may not be necessary. If there
is a UNIX ODBC driver available for Oracle, OpenOffice can use it to
access data in an SQL database. You can browse and update data, run SQL
commands, and use the database as a data source for form letters. There
is also a form wizard that can help create a form for interacting with the
data, but the form interface has some limitations. Numerical and date
fields cannot be left empty when updating a record, and you can't type in
text fields ("text" not not char or varchar). There are workarounds for
some of these limitations, but you have to unzip the form and edit the
form code with a text editor to change some of the settings included by
the form wizard. If you're setting up an app/form for use by lots of
people, that may be satisfactory, but there is no way that a normal end
user could be productive with the forms produced by the form wizard.
You should runs some tests and figure out how to best setup the users'
desktops and pre-configure lots of things for them. Don't just use a
default setup. You may want to run some of the slower machines as
X-Terminals and run their apps on a single fast/big machine. This can be
hard on the network, but it greatly simplifies configuration control.

I cannot vouch for the systems run by Earthlink, or any of the specialty anti-spam companies, but my own system has been setup with the limitations of those systems in mind. I have learned from the mistakes and misadventures of others. I can (and do) quickly respond to any unforeseen mishaps. I have been running mail servers and mailing lists for a few years. My email address is public and static, and I prefer that it remain so. I do lots of things online, so I tend to get a lot of spam attempts.

A procmail recipe delivers (pipes) the message to a script. The script stores the message locally in a file, then sends a challenge to the sender that includes a URL. The URL displays a web page with some warnings for spammers and a button that allows the user to have the message delivered. The script behind the web page sends a response message. the response message is caught by a procmail recipe that pipes the response message to a perl script which appends the original message to my Inbox.

Pine, mutt, and probably some others, do not require a local SMTP listener (a server). They only require a program that can be invoked when needed to send outgoing mail. By default, they call sendmail as needed and by default, sendmail delivers directly to the destination SMTP server. This happens whether or not sendmail is already running a process that listens on TCP port 25. People that use this default config may run into problems if their visible IP address is not registered in the DNS or if the receiving ISP blocks SMTP connections from "residential" or dynamic IP addresses. These people do not need to be running an SMTP listener (a server) to have this problem. I think that the basic problem here is that you have not noted the difference between a process that runs continuously and listens for network connections (a server) and a process that may be invoked to connect to remote network resources (a client). Postfix runs separate processes for these functions, but sendmail does both in a single monolithic program. Sendmail's ability to perform both of these functions has apparently lead you into calling every invocation of SMTP a "server". Tony -- Anthony E.

Outlook uses SMTP from dynamic addresses to send outgoing mail. Nearly every commonly used mail reader does. That is a CLIENT operation. Just because sendmail **also** has the ability to operate as a server does not mean that everytime it is invoked that the user is running a server. The sending SMTP process is the client. The receiving SMTP process is the server.

Your own words indicate that you have some understanding of the inaccuracy of what you said. I do agree that most SMTP client programs (regardless of whether they are also capable of running as servers) are setup to use a smarthost that has a fixed IP address and is registered in the DNS. What you do not seem to understand is that sendmail, by default, does not accept nonlocal SMTP connections (does not violate most common consumer TOS) and also does not deliver to the ISP smarthost. The latter may not be consistent with the restrictive practices of some ISPs. Tony -- Anthony E.

Actually, X is fairly fast. GNOME (w/Nautilus) and KDE are resource hogs, which is likely the cause of your perception that X is slow. I run Sawfish on GNOME with GMC as my desktop/file manager.

For me, this would fall into the "find another way to do it" category. I'd
output the data tab-delimited and post-process it using perl, assuming I
already had the rest of the awk code written. It would probably be faster
than spending a lot of time figuring this out.

Look in httpd.conf. There is a directive that tells Apache whether or not to allow AuthConfig. Tony -- Anthony E.

Win2k *can* use Active Directory, but it can also use the legacy NT Domain system. Tony -- Anthony E.

How about XLS? Excel 2000 will transparently import tab-delimited files that have a ".xls" extension. You can put a link on the web site that causes a script to generate tab-delimited output and specify the filename as "meberlist.xls". They should be able to use that in mail merges. Another solution is to setup an ODBC connection from each PC to the PostgreSQL database. Users can then use Access to update the data and provide it to their mail merge documents. Tony -- Anthony E.

If you have any web applications that send email, you need to have sendmail running. You should set it to only listen on localhost (the default since RH7x). That will prevent spammers from relaying mail through your web server. Tony -- Anthony E.
