They are based on the Tulip chipset, and work very well. And not too expensive. Beware : there are network boards with and integrated switch, too. They will look almost the same, with 4 ports. But they are really a single port + a switch, not four ports. -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Protocols like SPF (http://spf.pobox.com/, which I believe is the best of them) did not take off because of multiple reasons. If you are seriously interested in this then I suggest you look at the past threads on SPAM-L and the other appropriate forums. -- ciao, | Marco | [2322 mi/eMbJhFdzPI] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

FWIW, this is the method I generally use and don't find it to be that hard. On the other hand, I recently tried this with perl 5.8.x from unstable (probably about two weeks ago) and it would not build under woody - it kept failing one of its test cases and bombing out. I'd say about 50-75% of packages backport easily. The rest can be more involved. In the case of perl two weeks ago, I didn't absolutely need it so I ended up sticking with the woody version. I did look at the backports collections and did not see a backport around anywhere. Take care, Dale -- Dale E. Martin, Clifton Labs, Inc.

a new network and a newbie admin
Hello, I have just been nominated in charge for the network inside the student block I live in. My problem is the server that I will have to order, as the network is not made yet. The network will have about 130 computers (will not function all at the same time) that will be connected as in the following figure: _____S___ISP ___|__ __|| __|__ | | | | | | | p p p p p p p each p is a pc, the S is the server Because of the price we had to use only 8 port switches... =( My questions are : what should I do to ensure that each computer in the lan will communicate at a very good transfer rate with other lan PCs and have a good transfer rate for browsing the internet? What would you recommend as proxy software? I want to give access only to PCs that are registered in a way. How should I do that? DHCP + arp for IPs and permit only registered addresses (IP -MAC pair is registered) ? Would you recommend anything else? I would like to limit the transfers on certain types of files (.avi, .mpg, .mp3 ...) in order to ensure browsing not downloading... Is squid the solution? Is there a software that would permit some kind of download registering list? Picture this, one user _really_ wants a song to be downloaded. He registers himself in the list and when the traffic is low the server starts the download and stores the file on the hdd. The place where is put is accessible through ftp and the user can copy it at a later time. Thank you!

Spoon feeding Exchange with Sendmail
Spoon feeding Exchange with Sendmail Is it possible to somehow use my Debian Linux server as a tool to download pop mail from a remote server then forward it to my local mail server (Exchange), I was thinking Sendmail might be able to do something like this but I could not find any documentation.

Re: Spoon feeding Exchange with Sendmail
Yreka - So I could use fetchmail to get the mail form the pop account then use sendmail to the exchange server - Can this be automated out of the box or will it invlove scripting and is it a piratical solution for auto relaying 50 mailboxes Or am I making this to complicated. Is there some sort of mail relaying tool for just moving lot of mail around? thank Jody Teun Vink wrote: - Original Message - From: "Jody Grafals" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 8:52 PM Subject: Spoon feeding Exchange with Sendmail Spoon feeding Exchange with Sendmail Is it possible to somehow use my Debian Linux server as a tool to download pop mail from a remote server then forward it to my local mail server (Exchange), I was thinking Sendmail might be able to do something like this but I could not find any documentation.

Re: Spoon feeding Exchange with Sendmail
Fetchmail will do pretty much everything you're saying "out of the box", although you'll need to make a .fetchmailrc for it which in a config file that looks alot like a script language sometimes. The docs/examples are pretty straightforward. I just used it for a customer transitioning from webmail/pop configured on their webspace to their own debian server. 30 mailboxes, which although we only ran it for a week (to double check DNS transition) should have ran forever mostly fine. Piece of cake. You can even set it to retrieve muliple recipients from a single pop box, which I've also done, and much as the docs say, really don't like too much. Fetchmail can either run sendmail (ie, the "sendmail" command that is used for most on the server mtas) or forward direct via smtp to wherever you want (including straight into an exchange smtp service).
