To double check though, do this: $ grep ^Mlocal /etc/mail/sendmail.cf Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, If you get that line back with procmail get rid of the .forward stuff and your .procmailrc should just work. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell." - Unknown

Procmail setup

by Jim Lund

Hi, I'm trying to configure SpamAssassin to run on my RH7.0 server. Procmail was installed with the inital setup. I've added the following line to my .forward file: "|IFS=' ' && exec /etc/smrsh/procmail -f- || exit 75 #test" I've also tried: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #test" The user I'm trying this out on is "test". There is a .procmailrc file in /home/test/ just like what's described in the SpamAssassin INSTALL file. I've added a sym link for procmail in /etc/smrsh to /usr/bin/procmail. My sendmail.mc file has the following line: FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl When I send mail to test, it bounces back with this error: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|IFS=' ' && exec /etc/smrsh/procmail -f- || exit 75 #test" (reason: 550 Unsafe for mailing to programs) (expanded from: <test(a)fiero.net>) I've scoured the net for info on setting this up properly and have tried everything that's been suggested. I'm at a loss what else is causing this problem. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! jim

star office fonts

by Bill Mills-Curran

When I upgraded to RedHat 7.2, Star Office seemed to lose most of its fonts. (I can't remember if I installed the new Star Office from the distro, but I think I did.) I've skimmed some web documents on adding fonts, and they seem fairly complex and I don't want to spend that much time on this. Does anyone know an easy way of getting decent fonts back? TIA, Bill

Re: [Wlug] ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel

by Michael Frysinger

and many rules (if not too complicated) work for iptables and ipchains they tend to change syntax for a few things, like specifying port (iptables you have to do --dport 80 while with ipchains you can just do -d 0/0 80) -mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Scaringe" <scaringe(a)nycap.rr.com> To: <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 03:34 Subject: Re: [Wlug] ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel > ipchains is for kernels in the 2.2 series. > iptables is for kernels in the 2.4 series. > > However, I believe there's an option in the kernel configuration so that > you can continue to use ipchains commands with the 2.4 kernels. > I'd suggest going with this option until you get a chance to update your > firewall rules to iptables, (which I'd really suggest you do since iptables > has some options that aren't available in ipchains). > > Aramico wrote: > > > Hi all, how r ya' doin today... > > So sorry that I need your help..... > > > > Actually, i've got a problem with my ipchains. > > My remote server said this message when I executed *ipchains -nL *: > > *ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel* > > ** > > what should I do to solve this problem, i need my ipchains firewall works. > > thanks for the attention > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > >
