qmail Problem! - Can only take my mail if sent using qmail-inject,.....

by Aramico

Hi all, I'm still got a serious problem with my qmail server. Now, I can send email to my address using qmail-inject directly from my console. Then, I'll try to retreive my email from my Outlook, it works, I can get my my mail, but it is said form my MAILER-DAEMON. In other case, I can send using my email address that listed in my qmail server successfully, but If some body send me message, I could not get it, in fact, the sender doesnt get the confirmation that the email has sent to invalid username in the defined domain. It means that I can receive the email, but where the email saved ? what configuration that I've got to do to fix this ? Thanks Men.

iPAQ update

by Wesley Allen

OK, I had a great time at the meeting on Wednesday, just let me say that first off. The great thing about linux is community, and WLUG certainly has that.... Now, at this moment I'm listening to a Nickel Creek .ogg on my iPAQ using Opie's media play w/ libvorbis. It's a little unstable, but once I get a decent flash card I'll finally be able to take my music files with me.... It took a while to get to this point. I disliked wiki before, now I positively HATE it (and I think Linux Magazine is on drugs for liking it so much). Stuff is just, missing - like how to make sure your iPAQ has dns entries by copying one file.....arrrgh! I could ssh in right away, and on usb, that was the easy part; but for some reason iptables weren't working at first and I had to wipe them and start over, now I've got dns AND iptables forwarding my packets, and the ipaq is on the internet (no, I'm not writing this e-mail on it, an iPAQ, no keyboard, remember?). The only problems I have are with the todolist (it won't start), and qtopia desktop (it won't link). The todolist is missing a library, which I'll find, but the syncing issue is a pain, it just won't see it. Brad's been great and he think going up to opie unstable may solve the issue, we'll see (don't you just love debian users? They say, "Go use unstable" as if that's just what people do...). Now, when I get a tape-player or mp3 input in a car stereo I can finally ask for that microdrive for Christmas! Thanks again! Wes

by Wes Allen

Brad, Thanks for your help. I've actually got usbnetworking installed and working (I'm ssh'd in to the ipaq), but qtopia desktop won't connect and ipkg update won't see the world (even though I've got forwarding set up...). Aargh!!

I'm backing up now.... I'll get the bootloader installed and I'm bringing my laptop w/ win4lin so I'll have activesync if we need it... Am I going to have to manually add my contacts back in?

Wes, Almost time ... here's a small check list to keep in mind. -make sure you have all your data backed up. -you will have to install bootblaster before you get to the meeting because you need to install it with activesync, which i don't have. here's the web page http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.6.1/install/install-bootldr.html do the steps up to 'installing the bootldr'. (We'll do that at the meeting). - you may want to bring your laptop with ppp and minicom installed (i think you said you had one). Once we have linux install i can set up ppp for you so you can talk to your ipaq from linux. I think that's it, let me know if you have any questions. --brad

The SCSI interface listed in /proc/pci is: SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U (rev 1). Will a Ultra160 80pin drive work?

Re: [Wlug] I could not read from my my qmail server.

I'd say you need to first find the cause of the "MAILER_DAEMON FAILURE NOTICE" maybee attach one of the messages and send it to the list. It usually says in the message why it failed. Then just correct the problem. Also look at the qmail logs, they might indicate what is going on. The logs might be in /var/log/ or /var/log/messages You gave very few details.

REMINDER: WLUG meeting 15-jan-03

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting to be held on Wednesday, January 15, 2003 in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA. At this meeting, we'll be discussing Linux on handheld devices. Mostly, this meeting will be about actually running Linux on things like the iPAQ, but if anybody is interested, I"ll have my Palm IIIx and jpilot available for a quick demo (more like Linux *with* handhelds). I think Brad and Wes will be bringing iPAQs. Who else is planning on bringing something? I had heard a rumor that somebody in the group had an XBOX running Linux, and if so, that's fair game since it will fit in my hands. :-) Please respond to this e-mail if you are bringing something for this meeting. That info will help to draw interested parties to the meeting and make it a better meeting. Be there - 7:00 PM !

RE: [Wlug] Suse Linux: Internet access

by Keller, Tim

Well, If you've got a "winmodem" check a few places like http://www.linmodems.org/ also, google is your friend in this case. If you've got an internal hardware modem, it's been my experience that in order for it to work at all, the port/IRQ settings in your bios have to exactly match the ones postulated in the setserial documentation... /dev/ttys0 (COM1), port 0x3f8, irq 4 /dev/ttys1 (COM2), port 0x2f8, irq 3 /dev/ttys2 (COM3), port 0x3e8, irq 4 /dev/ttys3 (COM4), port 0x2e8, irq 3 As for the broadband, do you have an external broadband modem connected to your machine via ethernet or an onboard broadband adapter? (I'm going on the premise that you've got the former... if you don't you'll have to look around for drivers that'll support the onboard broadband adapter) For your ethernet not working, I'd first check to see that the card was recognized. The best place to start is to see if the drivers been loaded. executing the "lsmod" command (as root) will give you a listing of all the loaded drivers... [root@medusa proc]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted nls_iso8859-1 3488 0 (autoclean) 3c59x 28520 1 ... (this listing could be quite long) You should see something like the 3c59x (if you've got a 3com card) Also, you might want to check the Suse hardware errata to make sure that your cards totally supported. In this day an age, only rather exotic hardware isn't fully supported... Another place to look is /proc/interrupt aka "cat /proc/interrupt" (once again as root) this will give you a listing of all the devices linux sees on the machine. If you don't see your ethernet card listed, you probably have some sort of conflict. I hope this helps...

No, it's a "software" modem, it's just that certain software modemns have had their specs open and others have had binary-only drivers released for them...
