This will take care of flagging spam. Next you should check out MailScanner. MailScanner works seamlessly with all of the above. It doesn't require any changes to sendmail/Exim and can be installed with an rpm. You will need to select a virus engine and MailScanner works with about a dozen of them. I highly recommend F-Prot. F-Prot is free for home/non-commerical use and for commercial users only charges per server. The other virus scanners charge per seat and it can get very expensive. They update their virus files every few days and MailScanner provides a cron script to download them automatically. RH7.2, kernel-2.4.18-19.7, sendmail-8.11.6-3 I installed MailScanner and F-Prot from the rpm's, and it seemed to go without any problem. Here is what I don't understand. Razor, spamsassassin, and MailScanner all seem to check for spam. Are they different and should all be used? If so, why? Thanks.

strange printing behavior
Can anyone tell me why it is that when my printer in configured for 75dpi or 150dpi, it prints postscipt correctly (but with awful resolution), but when I set it for 300dpi the image is twice as big as it should be? Thanks. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

problems printing postscript
The printer is a HP laserjet 4Li. If I configure it for 75 or 150 dpi the printconf US letter postscript test page prints out, but the resolution is very bad. If I configure it for 300 dpi, the resolution is as it should be, but the image is now much too big and only the top-left quadrant of the test page shows on the printed page. On the other hand, the ASCII testpage prints out fine with 300dpi. This problem persists whenever trying to print postscript. Also, whenever priting postscript, I get a page that has @PJL SET MANUALFEED=OFF @PJL SET RET=MEDIUM @PJL SET DENSITY=3 @PJL SE etc, before the actual document prints out. When using dvips, I can get good results by typing dvips -x 500 -O -0.5in,0.5in filename.dvi (where the printer is configured for 300dpi) Of course I fiddled around with the driver options in printconf, but without improvement. Any ideas wpould be greatly appreciated. trevor ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: setting up email

Nothing so far gets me my email so I am forced to reboot into windows, use my Mac, or use another Windows machine. Where do I start. (I have read everything that I can get my hands on but have had not had a breakthrough.) There is nothing exotic about the server I get my mail from and I have no problems with either Mac or Windows. First, you'll need to decide on an email client. Whatever one you want to use is up to you. Whichever one you choose, make sure you read the man page, and maybe do some searching on how to configure it to do what you want. Make sure /var/spool/mail/yourUsername exists. If not, become root and do: touch /var/spool/mail/yourUsername. Change the owner and group to you (not root) and chmod 660. Next you'll need to set up fetchmail. Put this in ~/.fetchmailrc: poll your.mailserver.com proto pop3 user yourUsername pass yourPassword ... and start by typing fetchmail. Sendmail can be a pain to configure if you've never done it before, but don't be scared off by it. It's still the best MTA out there, I believe. This is where we need to know if you're on dial-up or not. When you answer back, I can tell you how to set up sendmail, or at least point you in the right direction.
