Sleep: A completely inadequate substitute for caffeine.
a) I have a linux box (box1) with Qmail on it. SMTP to this box works.
b) I have then created a couple of virtual domains on this box.
c) I have another linux box(box2) with a catchall (maildrop) account for a
particular domain (xyz.com).
d) I want to download all emails from box2 onto box1 using fetchmail. After
this I want to distribute the emails to the users who are on the virtual
domain on box2 based on the virtual domain identity. Also I want that the
virtual domain users be able to send out email and get replies back.
e) I am using sqwebmail on box2 for the virtual domain users.
f) I am having RHL6.1 and the platform is Sun Sparc.
What I am interested in knowing is how to tweak fetchmail to locally handle
the emails? (I have tried procmail and maildrop -- unsucessfully!)
Any and all ideas appreciated.

What I normally use:
mount -t smb -o username=whatever,passwd=whatever //host/service /mount/point

OK so far ...

Again, OK. Quite easy. Configure sendmail on the local box to handle mail
for that domain (if all the users are on box2). If not, let the mails go out
to box 1. No hassles.

You need fetchmail in multidrop mode
defaults
forcecr
poll pop.server with proto pop3
user foo with pass bar is * here mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -f %F %T"
fetchall
On the remote box, you need to do a little aliasing like this (I'm talking
sendmail here, modify a bit for qmail)

I believe qmail uses "minus" addresses instead of plussed addresses. In
sendmail, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is automatically delivered to user's mailbox -
the +foo is ignored by sendmail but can be parsed by, say, procmail.
OK right. Paraphrasing from the qmail faq:
In qmail, a ~/.qmail-default in the catchall-user's homedir will catch all
[EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses. Or you can touch ~/.qmail-user1,
~/.qmail-user2 etc to catch specific [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc addresses and
bounce the rest (assuming you have set up something like domain.com: catchall
in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, and put the corresponding entry into
the rcpthosts file).
If you already use '-' in usernames, you need to change the delimiter to
another character (preferably + ... qmail seems to want to do everything
"opposite" to sendmail) :)
This is done at compile time. Version 1.00, change the value of
USEREXT_BREAK in conf-unusual.h. Version 1.0x, change the file "conf-break".
Without this a user called "me-too" would mask some of the suffix space for a
user called "me".)
All said and done, catchall mailboxes for a domain are, at best, an ugly
kludge. Best bet is to set up ETRN or UUCP to handle mail for that domain.

For a two mailserver configuration to work in a master slave
configuration the master should be able to server each user separately.
>From your posting it doesnt look like that can work. By a catchall
account I am assuming all the emails landed in one mailbox. You can't
serve different user from such a mailbox. Therefore a pull kind of
request as done by fetchmail can't be handled. What you would have to do
is push out the emails from box2 to box1. This is what serialmail does -
but then your configuration doesnt seem to be the kind where serialmail
can be used. It would be better if you could explain what you are trying
to achieve by the setup you have assembled.

You can, as a matter of fact :) Takes some headache at both ends, but
possible. See my reply to Rajkumar for more ...

Multidrop mailboxes, with *@domain.com landing in one mailbox. Quite a
common (and kludgy) setup, I'm afraid :(

In X, I couldn't get the low-res modes to work, the lowest I was getting was
640x480. With svgalib, I can get the optimal size. Looks good. Much better
than the X version.

No you should get a lot better quality as the picture will be unscaled!
BTW mplayer doesn't do too good on low res modes... gives a quashed
picture with a LOT of blue stuff covering the rest of the screen.
(one work around I found was running it in the lowest resolution possible
without any window manager and full screen turned off... and resizing my
monitor(height and width settings on the OSD)

Hi All
I am trying to install SCO Unix 5.0.4 and Red Hat
Linux 7 on the same system (the system is gonna act as
server). I have installed SCO already.
SCO was assigned almost 4000 MB of the 10 GB hard
disk, and the rest is all free..
Now how do I go about installing the Red Hat so that I
can get a dual boot system ?
TIA
Harveer Singh

I have setup my RH 6.2 to forward me the IP, for remote administration, where
every hour i used to get an update in my mail box and it has been working
perfectly for almost 1month.
To do this i had hardly done not done any changes to the system, except, add a
line to my cronjob which sends me a mail every hour at 01 minutes. The line
reads:
01 * * * * /sbin/ifconfig ppp0|grep inet|mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, nobody except me has the root access to it. If any other details needed
pls let me know.

Look at the logs. What did you do, set up a cronjob, run fetchmail as a
daemon etc? Give further details first plz.

Let me suggest better techniques. I have used these a lot.
I presume you're trying to use an ip-poster. Of the many solutions available,
here are the best I like:
1. You can go for something like dyndns to do this. (http://www.dyndns.org)
2. Get a free home page somewhere that offers ftp access. If you don't have
the a script called ftp-put.sh, cut and paste it from below. Now add a line
to your script /etc/ppp/ip-up or /etc/ppp/ip-up.local (preffered)reading
something like this:
-------------snip------------------------------
ifconfig ppp0 | grep inet\ | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f3 | cut -d":" -f2 >
/tmp/ip
(please tweak the above till you get just the ip address...)
ftp-put.sh /dev/null ftp-hostname <directory-on-remote-m/c> currentip /tmp/ip
<username> <password>
-----------------snip----------------------------
That's it. On your homepage, you can put a link to the 'currentip' file. Or
you can mail yourself the ip if you like instead of ftp-ing it. Personal
preferance. I prefer the ftp method as it doesn't clutter my mailbox. The
advantage of this as compared to the crontab entry is that it's cleaner and
you only get updates when the machine actually connects... I presume you have
put in a times automatic dialer to connect you each hour...
There are more ways to achieve the above. The ftp thing is something I used
to use until I came upon dynamic dns servers...
Here's the ftp-put.sh script I picked up from my machine - in case yours
doesn't have it (It's absent on some installations)...
-----------------snip---------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# ftp-put.sh output_file host directory remote_file local_file user pass
ftp -n $2 > $1 2> $1 <<EOC
user $6 $7
binary
cd $3
put $5 $4
bye
EOC
------------------snip---------------------------
If you don't have this on your machine, just copy and dump this script say in
/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or something..
I know this doesn't really answer your question - that's a bit more difficult
to answer without more information, but I hope you can use this instead as
it's more efficient than getting a mail ech hour...
cheers,
-Faisal.
