Re: [Wlug] Testing WLUG e-mail list

by Dave Coutu

Andy, I've been getting these emails, as well as anything sent to my @alum.wpi.edu forwarding address multiple times. Looking at and comparing the message headers, it would appear that mcafee.wpi.edu might be the culprit as it's the point in the chain of mail relays where timestamps start changing. Maybe it's in a forwarding loop or it's mail queue is hosed somehow so that it thinks messages haven't been delivered yet, so it retries. *shrug* Glad to know that I'm not the only one seeing this problem, it's been happening since Friday and is driving me batty. Anyone else at WPI have an idea what might be going on or is experiencing this issue?

I haven't actually seen duplicate messages, very likely due to this useful procmail rule: :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 16384 $HOME/.msgid.cache It stops the same message (based on message id) from being received multiple times, which is very useful if people (for instance) respond to both you and a list you read, you'll only get the mail once. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Where are all the great pot head writers?

Xfer mail from Outlook to...

by Stephen C. Daukas

Anyone out there know how to get email out of Outlook/Exchange and into something else? I use outlook at work, and also at home when doing stuff for work, but want to get all that stuff into a flat file similar to what UNIX uses (used?), which is also similar to what Eudora uses. In other words, I want to get away from Outlook/exchange all together and get into a format that is easily manipulated by scripts or easily imported into other email applications. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Steve

Re: [Wlug] http load generators

by Tom Guilderson

Marc, Thanks for the response. I have not actually downloaded your code and am just gathering info right now, but I do have a couple of quick questions in the event your project code base is a fit for what I need to do: 1. what language - your web site indicates c++, scheme/guile for the scripts but sourceforge indicates delphi/kylix???? 2. how complete/incomplete http handling compete, scripting engine, gui (do not really care too much about), etc. ?? 3. GPL? We would need to modify since the client side of the application is not a browser/html based. It just uses http and servlets as the tier between the client and backend business logic and database - so we sould need to modify the scripting logic anyway to handle serailized java objects and dynamically create the next appropriate request (eg fixing the previous failed request or going on to the next step in the business process). 4. Would you prefer to give CVS committ access or to get new code/patches sent through you???? Or would you prefer I created a fork giving you credit for initial code base? Ultimately, the load generator is for internal use at the company I work for and all the changes from us would be funnelled through one person designated as the maintainer of the code internally.

Clarification: location of next meeting

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, There was a minor error on the WLUG home page that might have caused some confusion. The next WLUG meeting is in a new location, that being Olin Hall room 107. FYI: I'm told that the lobby area of Salisbury Labs is/will be undergoing renovation, hence we cannot use that room for the entire summer, so we'll be in Olin Hall 107 for the next few meetings. My apologies if there was any confusion. Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Computer 4 sale

by Marc Hughes

Dual PIII 1ghz Case + power 512mb ram 2 Hard Drives - 16gig + 8gig (or about that size) Sony IDE CDRW (fast, I think 48x,24x,16x) Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI Ethernet card $400 There will be 2 big gaping holes in the front if I can't find the 5 1/4 drive bay covers. No video card. Also, nVidia geForce 3 and above cards don't work with this motherboard. nVidia blames it on Tyan, and Tyan blames it on nVidia. My Radeon 7550 works just fine (but you don't get that). If you want, I have an old voodoo3 card which was in this at one point, it worked then, you can have it for free with the computer. Under Windows, I was never able to get USB working well (keyboard was fine, camera + mouse weren't). Under linux, usb worked 100%, so I'm assuming it's just my luck with windows and not the hardware. I will be wiping the drives clean before selling it, so you're on your own for an OS. I think one of the drives may be mounted "creatively" so be forewarned. If anyone wants it, hopefully we can arrange a drop-off & pickup, perhaps at a wlug meeting to avoid any shipping. Please send replies to me, and not the list. -Marc

REMINDER: WLUG Meeting Thurs. May 15th 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

HI Everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Thursday, May 15th, 2003 at 7:00 PM in Olin Hall 107 (note new location!) on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA. At this meeting, our guest speaker will be Vince McHugh. Vince will talk to WLUG about the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS). The second part of Vince's talk will be about imaging and scanning. In this context, Vince will talk about how his company, NECS, is making Canon scanning products work in the Linux environment. Vince is a member of GNHLUG and is also a Systems Support Manager for NECS/Canon (the largest independent Canon dealer in New England). Vince has been involved with Linux for the last 4-5 years, and also possesses a Novell CNE and a Windows MCP. Light refreshments will be served at the meeting. Afterwards, we'll go to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. All are welcome! -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

I did a search on sourceforge and most of the projects have not released any new code in 18 months or more - so not sure of status on most of them. I need to test an application that uses HTTP as its transport layer (but not HTML) so open source tools would allow the customizations I need, with out haveing to write everything from scratch. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
