Re: [newbie] forwarding mail w postfix, procmail fetchmail -woe is this newbie

Hi!Using postfix, procmail fetchmail on Mandrake 8.0 I got fetchmail to poll other addresses and to ostensibly forward mail to another account. Fetchmail polls successfully but the following code in .procmailrc doesn't seem to do the trick: :0 H *^From.*Janet@uvic\.ca ! somemailaddress.com

Re: [newbie] open ports: explanation requested

Hi! I have some open ports, as indicated by an nmap localhost scan. 2 main questions: a) Is there a console or terminal command that lets me shut a port down? and another command to reinstate the port ? b) Can anyone take a moment to explain whether these are necessary: port 111 sunrpc

Re: [newbie] Postfix / Fetchmail problems solved!

Hi! So that others may not have to go through the same silliness that I brought upon myself, here is a recap and a solution: setup: I'm running Mandrake 8.0. Tried to get fetchmail to fetch pop3. I have a mailbox and it appeared to be set up properly (after advice from David Fox).

Re: [newbie] Bastille-related problem: can't log in as su . . .

Hi! I used InteractiveBastille. Subsequently I could not go into a terminal in a non-root account and log in as su. As soon as I enter the correct password I get the message File size limit exceeded. I don't think that the log files could be so big (I only re-installed a few days ago and

Re: [newbie] fetchmail pine not receiving (still)

Hi! I had good guidance from this list recently and have got fetchmail and pine both installed and configured (although clearly I'm missing something). I'm running Mandrake 8.0. I can send mail but can't receive from the Linux box. Out of curiosity last night I tried setting up Mozilla to

Re: [newbie] pine setup question

Hi! I really like Pine, even though it is only partially set up! I've got several e-mail accounts and I want to use them in pine. So how can I make pine not be tied to my user name and therefore limit me to sending mail from username@host?? I want to be able to send mail from a number

[newbie] Re: root login by default - want to terminate

Hi! It seems to me that previously when I used the who module, I only found the login I was using (everything is on one box so I don't require multiple users). Now I find that Root logs on as well as the user. Is there a way to change this so that only my current login is active, and root is

[newbie] Re: hostname + domain in LinuxConf - proper fomat is ??

In LinuxConf to set one's host name it has a space for hostname + domain. I have not set this correctly. Although I can surf, my attempts to set up Qmail have made the fact that I've made a mistake with hostname + domain quite clear. For example, when I try the configuration step in the install

[newbie] Re: hoping to use CD-only install of Mandrake 8.0 on a Libretto palmtop. . . possible??

Here's a good question for you! I've put Mandrake 8.0 on a desktop and it's great (I'm new to Linux, by the way). Now I need to get Mandrake 8.0 on my tiny Libretto palmtop. The palmtop currently has a Japanese version of Windoze 95 on it and I'd like to keep a very tiny bit of the disk for

[newbie] Re: Benjamin: Thanks! Mandrake 8.0 internet desktop icon problem cleared up

Thanks heaps Benjamin!It all got cleared up. I found out that Linux was just responding to the fact that somehow I had misconfigured, and I didn't have access to the Internet, so it wouldn't let me use the connect/disconnect facility. I don't know what I changed, but I've managed to get
