I understand that Mailman is popular but wonder what

Hi,
First: I'm using Debian testing, daily updated as my home PC, exim is
setup to send outgoing mail directly to MX record.
Second: Now I need to setup exim to send all mail for some domain
through my ISP's smtp server.
So how to setup exim to do this?
Thanks

Any vendor could add packages from them if he wanted to, but he'd have to

Did you also enable PAE mode for 36-bit addressing? Technically you're
only seeing 4.2 Gb (2^32) on that Xeon box even with highmem enabled,
right?
Or would the drawbacks of larger VM table

Hi,
I'm looking for a way I can send a small message to a user
that is logged into the same box as me.
If I run
# w
to see who is logged in, then I would like to echo something
to their screen so I can tell them something.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

Right, but that's going to break on the next upgrade, and the other
users can't use it then either...

Hi,
I wanted the write.
We have lots of servers with lots of techs.
Some of them are very new to Debian.
So, when were working on systems its nice to chat.
We use the "talk" program as you mentioned.
but as root is defaulted to mesg n then its nice
to echo a message to their screen to say something

Hi,
I am trying to use "sudo su -". But I always get "su: Permission denied".
The purpose is to make su only available through sudo. Any ideas?
