Sendmail, sendmail.cf and mailertable
by Jerry Feldman 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

I run sendmail on my SuSE 8.1 system and use it for both incoming and outgoing email. recently, AOL (and netscape.net) started to reject all email coming from Comcast dynamic IP hosts. So, the apparent solution is to edit /etc/mail/mailertable: .aol.com smtp:an.smtp.host .netscape.net smtp:an.smtp.host I did this and created the mailertable.db. I then restarted the sendmail daemon. And, email for both of these domains is still being sent directly. I also rebuilt my sendmail.cf using YaST with no success. I can set my sendmail.cf to send all email through another host, but I would prefer to do it only for aol and netscape at the moment. It appears that I am missing some step in the configuration. Both the sendmail.cf that I had crafted and the one built by YaST contain: # Mailer table (overriding domains) Kmailertable hash -o /etc/mail/mailertable.db Any ideas. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Ignorant windoze user question re linux mail server
by evan＠exclusivebooks.com 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Hi all I am currently running a POP3 mail server called Post.Office on Windows NT. I have been given the go-ahead to change as much as possible on my LAN to Linux. The simple question is: what are my options on SuSE in terms of mail servers? I basically would like something that can send mail using SMTP, accept incoming mail and allocate it to mail boxes, and that can be accessed via POP3 if possible (although not absolutely essential). Obviously I'd also like the software to be either cheap or free. Any and all comments/assistance appreciated. Thanks Evan Morris evan(a)exclusivebooks.com +27 11 792 2777 (tel) +27 11 792 2711 (fax)

Qt???
by Thomas Widlundh 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Hi, I'm using SuSE 8.0 pro with Kde3. I'm trying to install a tarball, but the ./configure claims there is a Qt error: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! Anybody have a tip on this? Do I have the wrong version of Qt, or...? How to check this? And if I have to update the Qt, is this possible without problems? Regards, Thomas

Has anyone created a Linux Desktop Publishing program?
by Thomas E. Beasley, Jr. 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Hi all, I have a dilemma that I really would like to solve. I've been using SuSE linux for almost three years, now. Linux is my OS of choice. However, in my work, I do a lot of desktop publishing and high-in graphics work. Has anyone created a Linux desktop program? When I do my work, I have to fire up my old Windows 98 box to do it. I'd like to be able to do my work in Linux. Is there a Linux solution to this predicament other than Win4Lin? I have LyX, but the learning curve on LyX requires that it be a hobby for now and I doubt I'll ever be able to do with LyX what I can do with my desktop publishing program. Any leads in this area will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Problems with GeForce2 and nvidia drivers
by Benjamín Ubach 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Hi there! I've been trying for three days to get my GeForce2 MX/MX 400 to work with 3 releases of nvidia drivers (3123, 4191 and 4349) I've used both tarball and rpm's versions, but always is the same result: A blank screen with 2 or three blue lines at the bottom and a white pixel at the top-right corner. Got rid of the lines by using Option "NoLogo" "true", but anyway, I have a pretty nice black screen :-p I've waited for 5 minutes and nothing came up. Can't switch vt [Alt+F1...F6] and the only thing working is M$'s standard control tool [Ctrl+Alt+Del]. I've edited the XConfig86 file, used SaX2, loaded the module with insmod, used startx -- -logverbose 5 -verbose 5 and nothing looks wrong on XFree86.0.log. It even says it's switching to 1152x864, initializing AGP 4x, etc and nothing at all after that (both files attached). Works cool with nv driver, but by any means it's working with nvidia driver.

RE: [SLE] mouse detection problem (ps2/imps2)

Yes, wrong drivers... >What is on protocol level the exact difference between ps2 and imps2? Don't know, and I suspect neither did SuSE; However, SuSE has a driver for a "ps/2 type mouse" and not a "imps2 type mouse" that works for your mouse. >Oh yeah, I'm using 7.3 Pro with XFree 4.1.0. > Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards, >H.J. ten Berge I have a similar problem, only it shows up if lose "lilo" and have to "re-install" off my CD.... then the auto detect if comes up with the wrong mouse....ditto YaST2 My machine was made by Gateway, and came with a Microsoft 3 button mouse which is marked on the bottom: "PS/2 compatible" It is made (apparently) by IntelliMouse and Yast2 auto detects it as an "Imps2" with the same results that Harry reported: -> The mouse won't work correctly; -> the cursor bounces all over the screen. I tried sax2 once (but since I don't have a fancy monitor) I killed the set-up and was able to get back to my old settings, because the cursor started bouncing around .. so I imagine if I did use sax2 I would have his same problem My System Admin says the cure is to buy a good "standard mouse" because the real problem is Microsoft probably won't release the drivers (you may find this hard to believe but MS thinks they invented the 3 button mouse)--- there is probably a hack that could be done on my config files that says in effect: ### ### imps2 = ps/2 ### but that is beyond me at this point in time. Any hints... or is a new mouse the way to go? If so, what is a good mouse? -- __________________________________________________________________ Try AOL and get 1045 hours FREE for 45 days! http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index.adp?375380 Get AOL Instant Messenger 5.1 for FREE!
