Hmmm, that is a good reason to use a smarthost indeed.
Thanks.
mdevin.
I am on a dynamic IP address and some other user
may have previously attempted to abuse the server or send some spam?
Anyway, please let me know if it is a bad idea to send mail directly
rather than through a smarthost when you are on an intermittent PPP
link.
Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. They have been most helpful. It seems as

Essentially it will be the server for a database with the 486 / slow

I have just reinstalled debian potato on this system and now some things
don't work as they did before. Now I copied a lot of my config files
before reinstalling so things really should be the same.
Here is a specific example: I run fetchmail after establishing my ppp

I have just installed debian potato again and now I seem to have a
problem with logging in. When I reboot the system and then try to log
in on a virtual terminal as root it refuses telling me "login
incorrect". When I log in as a user and then log out and then log back
in as root it works fine.

You can put them in the file /etc/modules and they will be loaded at

It would be really nice to be able to keep the debian-user list a little
smaller and up to date on my system. How could I make mutt move old
threads that have not had a reply in say 5 days into a gzipped file?
This way I could have an archive of everything but my debian-user file
will remain up to
I thought I had this worked out, but it doesn't seem to work quite how
it should. Bascially I want to have mail with a certain subject piped

I have set up a .mail_aliases file for mutt that looks like:

Can you explain further how that works to someone who barely know that i puts
vim in insert mode and esc takes it out?

configure it above.
Question 1.
Basically what I was trying to do was stop all leaking of local usernames
from my system when I send emails. Consider the following:
Dialup account with ISP - ADSL
Dynamic IP address
local user: algemon
realname: mdevin
real ema
System is Debian potato 2.2r3 with Exim working fine.
OK here is what I did:
apt-get update
apt-get install postfix
(message about deinstalling exim and installing postfix) --> yes to
continue.
It asks me if I want to start postfix --> yes
tail /var/log/syslog:
postfix-script: starting the Postfix
Look, I know this is a flame bait question. I was interested in trying
Postfix because I thought it may be more customisable and easier to set
up. However, I had trouble getting it to work because it complained
that port 25 was already taken:
postfix/master[1011]: fatal: bind 127.0.0.1 port 25: A
Which of Postfix or Exim is easier to customise?
Basically, I started looking into this when I noticed that headers from
my emails contain local usernames. I have setup address rewriting in
Exim (currently) and tried with Postfix also.
Currently in exim.conf I have this rule for rewriting addres
When I use vim to edit a file, then copy and paste some text into this

the following example:

I am having trouble getting postfix to install on my potato 2.2r3

It did work initially but then after rebooting the computer, it won't

Here is what I did step by step on 2 separate computers to change over to

Lets say the 4 partitions are mounted as /boot, swap, /, /var. Y
