URGENTLY NEED HELP - Postfix and spam
by Adam Leach 01 Oct '03

I've just noticed in the last two days something has gone horribly wrong with Postfix on SuSE 8.1. My machine has got a massive queue of emails that it is attempting to send to AOL customers that I never sent myself. AOL is refusing connections, so these emails are sitting in the queue. I've just quickly done a few mail relay tests and all passed. Now I'm not sure if it is due to the Spammer being on the same ISP as myself or due to some other problem with Postfix. I had configured it to "Soft Bounce" emails as I've been testing a few things. How can I remove all these emails from the queue, as it is sending hundreds of requests to AOLs mail servers, and this is probably not a good idea. Thanks Adam

A naive question

How can I visualize on SUSE the detailed information about all available hard disk memory partitions ? I have a dual-boot system with Windows and SuSE 8.2. The Windows partition is mounted a s a Linux partition and I can access it just clicking on its icon on SuSE desktop. If I switch to Windows then I can display all Windows partitions but not SuSe ones. Will I be able to get the same info with SuSE besides the partitions allocated to Linux ? Is there a SUSE tool to do that ? Thank you very much. Mem

I got a new Dell desktop. It came with Windows installed at the factory. I have to set up a duaul-boot system and install SuSE 8.2 Question: Can SuSE partitioner resize Windows partitions ? If it can't ... Should I use "Partition Magic" or ... what else ? Thank you. Maura
