Re: [vox-tech] POP3 email

Ipopd is running on my server i.e. I can send myself email (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and when I type telnet localhost pop-3 and log in, it tells me I have messages. (This also works if, instead of typing 'localhost'. I type in the actual fixed IP address of my machine, or mail.billyfirestudios.com or www.billyfirestudios.com) I now want to be able to 'pop' the email from my Web server to my Windows client. In my client mail system (under Outlook) I have tried various pop addresses, e.g. mail.billyfirestudios.com, www.billyfirestudios.com, 192.168.0.1 and the actual fixed IP address of the machine etc but I do not seem to get a connection. I am also able to run the telnet command from my Windows client i.e. when I type: telnet mail.billyfirestudios.com 110 using the 'RUN' command, it works fine. The results of the tests you have performed indicate that the problem is in Outlook. I am pretty sure Outlook sends mail before it pops it, so be sure your smtp server is configured correctly as well as the pop server. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live...

Re: [vox-tech] Touble with Printer Set-up (long)
a few more words: replace my 3rd test with: echo hello world /dev/lp0 echo ^L /dev/lp0 the last line should be control-l. that sends a form feed to the printer to eject the page. i'm not sure this should print a page on 100% of all printers. it will definitely print on a standard line printer, but i don't know much about fancy printers. at the VERY least it should make some of your light blink momentarily. that's what we're looking for. next: make a small textfile named testfile that contains hello world. send me the output of: strace -o LOG lpr testfile do ***NOT*** send this to the list. it will be huge. send the output directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (it would most likely bounce since i configured the list to bounce really long messages). after you do this, send me the contents of /etc/printcap. you can send this to the list so that other people can take a look. people like rod or jeff know WAY more than i do about printcap files. after you do this, send me the output of lpq. you can send this to the list as well. also, realize that the best source of information about anything is google groups. go to: http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search this is the best way to do anything under linux, surpassing FAQ's, guides and howto's. pete ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

someone please put me out of my misery and do a talk about cups and

Pete, I think you bring up a very good point! There are quite a few
talks that we could do that would help out people in general and even
computer professionals.
I am wondering what other people in the group think of having a
mentor/mentoring program? SAGE (System Administrator' Guild) has such a
program. I would definately be willing to work with someone that has a
Strenght in an area where I am weak and vice versa. For an example, I
do not have much experience in setting up printers in Linux/UNIX, but I
have alot of experience with setting printers up in a Windows, Macintosh
and HP3000 network. I also am certified (to repair/service) on several
different types of printers. I understand pretty well how HP PCL and
PJL work and how to troubleshoot printer problems.
Maybe we could even have a group mentoring project? Something like an
online email class or over irc even. Where we have a couple of
experienced (seasoned) people teaching less experienced people. The
test could be that the student(s) later give a talk to reinforce what
they have learned.
Any thoughts?

i like this idea, but the bottleneck is getting someone to volunteer the
teaching. organizing the thing and coming up with volunteers would be
the thing that kills this idea.
i think this was the point of the 10-20 minute talk thing i wanted to do
at lugod meetings. we had a few of them. maybe we should start to make
them an integral part of the lugod meeting. i can certainly do this
bill. it's easier to ask someone to talk for 10 minutes than for 1.5
hours. :)
i think 10-20 minutes is short enough that the prep time is pretty nill.
10 minutes goes by very quickly when giving a talk.
i can give a 10 minute talk on marks and registers in vi which would be
a nice complement to verbus's presentation. i can also give a 10 minute
talk on using strace, although mike would be more suited for this. i
don't know quite as much about strace as mike, but i definitely know
enough for it to be useful for me. i just used it last night to figure
out where quakeforge was looking for the pak0.pak and pak1.pak files.
strace comes in handy for me about once a week, and is an integral part
of my kung-fu.
