email problem
by Bill Mills-Curran 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

I'm having a problem with email bouncing to verizon.net addresses, and I suspect some other servers may be deleting it entirely. My config... I'm using mutt, which delivers to a local smtp server. My machine has a fake domain name (mills.curran), since I'm on a NAT'ed firewall. I route/relay my email through a web services provider with my own domain name (mills-curran.net) on a static IP. I know the issue is not a blacklisting, because the email gets delivered if I use the web interface for email at the mills-curran.net site. I suspect that verizon.net doesn't like the fact that the email header includes records including the fake mills.curran domain. I've tried some sendmail configuration changes with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bill

Using Knoppix to copy an NTFS drive
by Chuck Noyes 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi All, I have a drive that sounds like it's about to fail (making strange noises and occasionally not booting), so I want to copy it to another identical drive. The drive has 1 NTFS partition on it - I very occasionally run Win2k. I booted up the 5.0 KNOPPIX CD and tried dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb. There were no error messages and after about 30 minutes the 'dd' finished. However from KNOPPIX, I can't mount the new drive. the mount command (sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1) fails with: "Couldn't mount device '/dev/hdb1'. input/output error - mount failed". The original drive (/dev/hda1) mounts without any problem. If I use the fdisk utility and look at the partition table, there are no differences between the hda and hdb drives. Any ideas how I can solve this problem?? BTW: The qtparted utility on the KNOPPIX 5.0 CD and DVD fails with a "floating point exception" error. TIA, -Chuck

REMINDER: Meeting next week (Wed Nov 8)
by Andy Stewart 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Wednesday, November 8th, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. We don't currently have a speaker for this meeting. Are there any volunteers? If not, I could try to give a talk about the Smart Package Manager, which (thanks to Greg Avedissian) I have been using on my laptop for a month or two. If other folks know more about this than I know, it could turn into a discussion where we could all learn something new. I'm not sure that there's enough here to take up a full meeting, but it would certainly get us started. Let me know if this is of interest. Naturally, we'll adjourn to the Tech Pizza restaurant after the meeting for more socializing. See ya there!
