NEW MAG PLANNED: Linux For You (fwd)
by Frederick Noronha 21 Dec '02

21 Dec '02

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Of course it would be welcome. I had just heard of this during my early December visit to Bangalore, and do sincerely hope it takes off. Don't make the mistake of pushing out CDs with every issue -- this pushes up the cost. Give us a simple issue, on plain newsprint, but packed with the latest useful information. FN PS: Eagerly looking forward to you keeping your launch date. PPS: How about calling it something more inclusive such as GNU/Linux for You, since it would be presumably dealing with not just the Linux-kernel but the entire gamut of Free Software, GPL'd and Open Source software?

problem in segregating forwarded mails.
by Asif Shaikh 20 Dec '02

20 Dec '02

I am having the following Scenario at our end and have a problem with our COBALT QUBE 3 fetchmail server which runs Cobalt Linux 6.2, kernel 2.2.16-7. We have a mail server hosted at a Service Provider with domain name "mydomain.com". All employees have e-mail adresses like xyz(a)mydomain.com. We have asked our e-Mail service provider to create another sub-domain mail account called "bom.mydomain.com" whose mailbox is accessed with the account "penguin(a)bom.mydomain.com. For all our Bombay employees , I've created accounts on the Cobalt having same id as in the mydomain.com domain. we want to use our Local Cobalt Server as Mail server for Sending and receiving mails. So we have asked our Service Provider to have all the mails forwarded from their mydomain.com account to the new sub-domain account "bom.mydomain.com" which is then downloaded by our COBALT QUBE 3 fetchmail server having the same domain name "bom.mydomain.com". Now, the problem we are facing is that although the mails at users inboxes at "mydomain.com" are being forwarded to the new sub-domain mail account, all mails are falling into the admin mailbox and not into the respective locally created folders. eg: mails addressed to test(a)mydomain.com are being forwarded to test(a)bom.mydomain.com but the mails are falling into the default penguin user's inbox which I can see in the admin's inbox. I want the forwarded mail messages to fall into the users respective inbox. How can I make the cobalt do this? Please note however that mails addressed to test(a)bom.mydomain.com or any other user does fall correctly to the "test" users mailbox when sent from any domain directly. It is only the mails forwarded from the domain.com mail domain that are causing the problem. rgds, abbas
