I've acclimated in three years, for the most part (after 27 years in balmy California) but -22F is just... insane. Things, you name it -- garage door springs, hatchback windows, etc. -- just break when you use them, they get so brittle. It's a great incentive to stay toasty inside, keep the heck away from cold moving parts and "work" on the 'puter :-)

Please report back on the temperatures in July and August.

Actually how about mid May - early October when it never gets below 70F and is almost always 90F+ with humidity 80+. This (the cold) is actually worse then up north, when you go from 70F one day to the 30's the next. The body has a hard time adjusting to this in less then 24 hrs. And yes the worse is the farmers who may loose most of their crops. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Hi Ken! Gotta windbreaker? ;-) Actually, I'm sorry to hear that. It's not good for the farmers, or for us heavy orange juice drinkers later this year either. I'm just waiting to hear from someone in California. I understand there's some crazy weather happening out there, too. - Carl

Carl,

<snip>

Mostly it was a helluva lotta' rain. The negative consequences were in urban areas (back when I lived in Venice, it took only a moderate rainfall to produce a huge puddle in the street in front of my house) and in places where people lived on or below to slopes that become unstable when exposed to a lot of rainfall.

To my knowledge, agriculture was not particularly affected by our recent storms.

So don't worry. Your Valencia orange supply is assured. Likewise for artichokes, brussels' sprouts and almods. Etc.

Glad to hear it, Randall. Unfortunately, a lot of that great food won't get up here. We're almost as far north and east as you can get from Calif. and still be in the U.S.. That, and our meager population density (+/- 43/sq.mi.) makes us a poor market by comparison. But thanks for the tasty memories! - Carl

Very funny. I mean, you're kidding, right? No matter where in the U.S. you live, you're eating food from throughout North and South America, Africa and beyond.

I wish I were kidding, Randall, but the population density really starts to dwindle about 150 miles south of here. Don't misunderstand me -- we have great food up here with a lot of it locally grown -- but compared to California or Chicago or New York, we're extremely small potatoes (pardon the pun.) The stores are tiny, by comparison, and the variety isn't nearly as great. The produce that *is* available is extremely seasonal, too. It must be due to trucking times & fuel costs (vs. volumes) and spoilage rates. Now I've gotta go make myself a sandwich! - Carl

Hi,

I've got a little WLAN network at home: desktop Suse 9.2 running samba and two ancient laptops both on win2k.

I mostly work on the desktop, but have been known to use the laptop in the bath etc and certainly when on the road :-)

My wife uses her laptop only.

My question is:

Can I use KMail on the desktop and save it so that another win email programm can read the mails for when I take the laptop on the road? Similarly, can I just overwrite the new emails folders onto the desktop when I return home?

Or any other suggestions that would achieve a working setup?

Happens. :-) By the way, teleline pop server is off the ether just now (socket error). They are being hit. They and others, but these get the message "couldn't find canonical DNS name of..." - probably secondary servers use the Terra (Telefonica) network. Even the gnome weather applet is not working now. So Terra, using Telefonica's network is hit, or something else is wrong with them. Or tiscali is disconecting things (I'm using a Tiscali's IP right now)... who knows.

That's the forecast, we still haven't seen it. Right now, at 22:00 hours we have 7C - at the South east coast of Spain, in the Mediterranean. Freezing is really rare. But -15 in the central plain will also be rare, authorities recommend drivers not to drive this week. Dumb, but unfortunately, true, we are not prepared for that weather. [correction: tonight, wednesday 26, we have 4C, -2C a bit to the interior] Back to topic ;-)

I'll let you get back to troubleshooting now, Carlos. It's a lot of fun to watch from the sidelines...

Good luck!

Well, I'll report. Today [yesterday], it works if I connect from Terra, meaning that Telefonica is not blacklisted today. Tiscali is still blacklisted. Telefonica is really a heavy weight. The problem for me, yesterday [day before yesterday], was that both my connection providers were simultaneously blacklisted, so my usual solution of using the other did not work. Each provider has a relay server; the problem for me is selecting one or the other based, for example, on whose IP I have at the moment. But that is the subject of another thread I initiated. [more or less off topic explanation] Let me explain how these big providers work here, and why they are easy target for spammers. Terra is, more or less, a subsidiary of Telefonica. Till a few years ago, this company had every single phone in the country (and some more in South America nowdays). So, their network is very big (for us). The other point to note is that local phone calls are not free as they are in the US and Canada and I don't know where more. Well, Internet Providers here are also phone companies. They usually provide a "free account", which gets their monies from the phone charges when we connect by dialing up their phone number: ie, we are charged by the minute for those connections. They also provide other types of accounts, with a contractual binding. But the "free account" type are, or were, very easy to setup. You are not requested to really identify your self, give bank data, etc: almost nothing. Therefore, it is terribly easy to get an account. As mine is several years old, I don't know how much this has changed, but surely not much. So, a spammer gets an account. He sends his "load". Lets say that the provider discovers it and banns him, they close the account. So what? The spammer gets a new one in a minute. Back to square one. That said, I receive almost no spam originating here, most are in English (they scan this list; I guess). What can be done? Well, the authorities should really involve themselves. Write laws. Here, the police can track the real origin of a spam: the telephone is logged at the ISP, related to the timestamp and IP. It is just a question of tracking a few and putting in jail some spammers... as soon as word gets around, they will stop. And this should be done internationally: that means the European Union this side of the world. Can the ISP do this on their own? Maybe not, maybe they need to be ordered by the police to do so. I think so. They can only close one account... they can not ban them from creating a new one. And that is what must be done. But blocking IPs ranges because one of them was a spam sending point... it is not fair to the rest of honest people. That behavior in any other activity of life would be illegal... [it seems teleline (terra, alias lycos, aka Telefónica has been blacklisted again a moment ago. It bounced once, lets see if the teleline smtp server is blacklisted as well] [no, imposible, teleline does not accept the from address not to be theirs! ] -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

On the third try I did... The problem today is that both my providers (Terra and Tiscali) are blacklisted now. I had to edit the transport file, and as my providers check the IP for authentification, I have to check it before I connect each time. That's why I posted the question I did, to automate that. And no, the list is also rejecting my emails tonight with this message: : ezmlm-reject: fatal: message already has a Mailing-List header (maybe I should be a sublist) (#5.7.2) which is a lie (not true), because below I see: Subject: *****SPAM***** Re: [suse-linux-s] Traduccion de html X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at scanhost.suse.de X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=7.3 tagged_above=-20.0 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_44, LOCAL_RCVD_IN_CBL, MY_LINUX, RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL, RCVD_IN_XBL X-Spam-Level: ******* X-Spam-Flag: YES The list owner told me once to "try again"... sigh.

In fact, I'm more likely to get "blocked" by using my ISP, than I am using my own ... since when I do use my ISP, I'm in a pool with thousands of users, of whome there may be hundreds of spammers. Our common denominator (My ISP) is what is going to put us all, including (innocent ;-) me, into the same basket.
