[ILUG-BOM] Lets have our Lan party and build our own Flash Mob (SuperComputer)
by Trevor Warren 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Fellas....lets also set a date for our Flash Mob LAN party with Gnu/Linux: Just what is Flash Mob Computing and FlashMob I? A Flash Mob supercomputer is hundreds or even thousands of computers connected together via a LAN working together as a single supercomputer. A Flash Mob computer, unlike an ordinary cluster, is temporary and organized on-the-fly for the purpose of working on a single problem. Flash Mob I is the first of its kind. By bringing hundreds of people like you together in one room, we will have enough computing power to become one of the fastest supercomputers on the planet. Who should participate? Anyone with a 1.3 GHZ Pentium III Celeron/AMD equivalent or better with at least 256MB of RAM. FlashMob I is a radical new idea in the world of supercomputers. Kids, students, adults, professionals, academics, web folk, IT departments, computer clubs, LAN Party types. Anyone with a computer that meets the spec is welcome. What Can I to Do? Bring one or more computers to Koret Gym. Your computer must be at least 1.3 GHZ Pentium III/AMD equivalent or better with at least 256MB of RAM, a 100 Base-T network connection and a CD-ROM. We will provide you with a CD-ROM that you'll boot from. The CD-ROM contains everything you need including an operating system, networking and configuration software and the benchmarking software. It does not matter what your computer's current OS is. Because the software boots from the CD-ROM and runs entirely from memory, your hard drive will never be touched so it doesn't matter what your OS is or what software you have installed. Register and we will send you reminders as the date grows closer. We'll be publishing the .ISO so you can build your own FlashMob! When you arrive, you'll be assigned a Hub Captain who will help you get your computers up and working as part of FlashMob I. You'll be running Linpack -- the benchmarking software used to rank the Top 500 Fastest Supercomputers. So tell your friends, grab computers from home, from work, from school, wherever. Make science, make history, make a supercomputer!

Postfix+LDAP+Maildrop error Invalid user specified
by Mike Anderson 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Hello, I am using Postfix+Squirrelmail+OpenLDAP+Courier-IMAP and Spamassassin setup all domains on this server are virtual and whenever we receive spam mail Spamassassin detects that as spam and adds ******SPAM****** in the subject line as i have configured and send mail to recipient. now I want to all spam mails which are marked YES by Spamassassin while mail filtering as spam should go to the "Spam" folder under /home/vmail/domains/virtualdomain/user/.Spam ( /home/vmail/domains/virtualdomain/user/Maildir/.Spam -- path depends upon the setup ) as per my information we have to use maildrop to do all filtering, then i can use .mailfilter file to filter every mail whether it is for local or virtual domain so i installed maildrop from source by passing neccessary parameter to it like LDAP support etc. as per the documentation and configured maildrop in /etc/postfix/master.cf (even i tried mailbox_command = /usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop still same error) and reloaded postfix but after that i am getting following error "relay=maildrop, delay=0, status=bounced (user unknown. Command B> output: Invalid user specified. )" all virtual users are working perfect if i dont use maildrop as a MDA. I can also add that the error is "Invalid user specified." if I run "maildrop -d virtualdomain.com" as a root account virtualdomain.com is in Base exists. May be maildrop not interacting with LDAP to get the user information or IMAP is not getting either. I want to get maildrop working for moving spam mails to .Spam folder. My current setup is as follows : Fedora core 1 Postfix postfix-2.0.19.tar.gz Courier-IMAP - courier-imap-3.0.2-1.1 Squirrelmail - squirrelmail-1.4.2-1 OpenLDAP - openldap-2.1.22-8 Maildrop I highly appriciate if someone could beam up light on this. Thanks in Advance Regards, Mike Anderson _____________________________________________________________ Linux.Net -->Open Source to everyone Powered by Linare Corporation http://www.linare.com/

qmail email copies
by kishor bhagwat 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

hi folks, Has anyone tried the QUEUE_EXTRA or QUEUE_EXTRALEN options in qmail to keep a copy of all incoming/outgoing messages? I wanted to know how it works when I'm using qmail with maildir format, how i can search and retrieve emails etc. What happens to attachments? Does it store one copy for all the reciepients, or stores multiple copies if multiple people are present in the To or CC fields.. basically-how does the stuff work, if it does. regds, Kishor __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
