[SLUG] Specialised delivery for Postfix - can it be done?
Folks. I have a box running postfix which delivers a small amount of mail to both internal and external addresses. I need to be able to configure it to deliver mail for a specific domain to one mail server without doing a MX record lookup - send all mail @foo.bar.au to 10.1.1.1 and everything else to 12.2.2.2, for example. Can this be done? I'm not very familiar with Postfix, so I'm using Webmin to try and configure it - but I'll plug command lines in if someone can point me to the right file/format to stick in.

[SLUG] CentOS - dual AMD MP System
Hi everyone, Well forgive me if this is a basic newbie question. I am about to embark on building up a new file/mail server for our small office. I currently have redhat 8 running on an 8yr old PII 350 with 380M ram – and its just not coping well anymore. The new server will recycle my old (recently superseded) workstation Dual processor with 2 x AMD MP 1800’s (Tyan s2466n motherboard) 2 Gb Ram It has a 60Gb ide drive and is getting 2 new 160Gb Ide’s with a PCI Raid controller card I’m moving to CentOS 4 for this build I am confident with installing the server OS My question I have not been able to answer yet is confirming that the CentOS build will support & use the dual AMD MP’s Any other tips / recommendations would be appreciated The mail server app is called “InsightServer” by Bynari (from Dallas texas) it’s pretty stable once its running properly (that took a bit to start with), however the beauty is it gives you close to 100% MS exchange server functionality at simply an annual maintenance & upgrades fee – outlook connects pretty seamlessly with it.

Re: [SLUG] Permissions on HD- how to change?
Thanks for the reply James Bill to avoid confusion (for your own benefit, not 'cause you need to do this) * ensure uid and gid for bill is the same on both machines umm, I would sudo su vi /etc/passwd vi /etc/group (but be consistant, if you change either, fix every file eg /home/bill /var/spool/mail/bill etc etc) Not quite sure what you mean by above. Sorry for my ignorance. * Now set owner of the files needed to bill chown -R bill.bill /media/place1 as appropriate No problem with chown. This will always prevail unless the partitions are mounted read-only or immutable flag is set (or the filesystem is damaged, or funny eg ntfs, ..) chattr -R -i /media/place1 as appropriate. R.M chown, chattr. This illustrates the negative side of private groups. EG I use group users for things like media, g+w and all legal users (readers/writers) of media in group users too. Invent a scenario that works for you. As I'm the only person using my LAN/PC's I just naturally chose my user name when Group ID was needed. Can see the obvious sense in using Group "users" when there are multiple system users. James Seem to have stuffed up prior to receiving your reply. Am getting "su returned with an error" when trying to use "su" on Kubuntu. Think that during previous attempt at using "chown" I must have forgotten to cd to the desired drive and "chowned" everything in the installation :( as a peek at /etc/sudoers shows it beeing owned by uid 1000 instead of 0. :( Oh well, installation restore may be necessary.

If the wireless card exists (pmcia in my case) I end up with two default routes and the network fails. I'm using an atheros card in case that matters. I mostly manually kill the ethernet config when I'm using wireless and the problem is solved. Actually, you only need to delete the ethernet route, but either way it's not very tidy.

[SLUG] ubuntu default route
I have a machine running Dapper with two interfaces, one wired, one wireless. I do not seem to be able to work out the 'approved' way to set a default route on the wired interface. Other Dapper machines with only one interface have no problem applying the default route they get from dhcp, but not this one. I tried changing dhclient.conf to make it require a routers entry, but tcpdump doesn't seem to show this happening. I then tried changing /etc/network/interfaces to use a static entry, and the gateway specified there doesn't get applied either. I could try ripping out the wireless card, but I'd rather leave it installed as a backup for when the wired connection takes a break. I could add a new file to /etc/init.d, but that seems to be overkill for something that should be a single line entry somewhere (but where?). Why won't it just (*&^ do what I say? What is the 'right' way to do this for Ubuntu/Debian. My preferred approach is to make it happen with dhcp, so I don't have to change the machine next time I renumber or rewire. I'm willing to go static if necessary, but it has to persist across upgrades. -- Christopher Vance -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I can copy files from PC2 (Client) to PC1 (media server) /home/bill without problems. My problem is that PC1 also has 2 additional hard drives from which I can copy data, but cannot copy data to.
