Email Archival & some general advice
by Sushant Gulati 29 Mar '06

Hello everyone, Thanks once again for coming forward to help me with the copying of messages in at the smtp gateway, using synonym or postfix configuration settings. I hav a few more things to ask u guys : 1) How can i use MySQL in a shell script? I wanna enter some values in some tables in MySQl through the shell prompt only. I need to enter these values, at the shell prompt, using the username and password, without entering the sql prompt explicitly, is this possible? is there any one line command like e.g in ncftp, where i can specify the username, password, the values etc, all in the smae command line? 2)CAn u guys specify me some place where i can find some detailed info on Synonym and its working,?? the documentation on its homepage is pathetic for a new user like me. 3)Is there any method, on Linux, with which i can index a text or mail message on the basis of keywords? actually i think, indexing email messages on basis of keywords would be a very helpful feature to use at the time of retrieval and so i want to include it in my solution, although i have tested MAIRIX, but all it does is, take an mbox, index it and create a data base file, and when u ask it to search, it gives out the messages which contain the keyword used as a basis of search. 4)How do u people know so much about so many things? CAn u describe ur strategy , where u get all this info and how do u remember it for extended periods of time? So, many questions in one mail, i fear, someone of u will surely flame out on me, but please try to understand, i myself am taking my first steps into this wonderful world of Unix/Linux and am finding out a lot o new things, just recently i read Maurice.J.Bach about Unix internals and i wanna start on Linux kernel now, and i hope in a few months, i will also be helping some of the guys her in my own small way. Wish me good luck fr my endeavors. Warm regards, Sushant __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

A heartfelt thanks to all of you, and the suggestion of using Synonym was great, it was exactly what I needed. Although, I had searched for it in the FSF directory,before posting my request here, it had unfortunately been removed from there.So thanks for suggesting this wonderful piece of work.

We are thinking about designing a customized application installer for linux which might be distro nuetral like CNR or klik. This would be a part of our project. We would be happy to integrate it with your system, esp since we are CSE students and know the wooes of many fellow students trying Linux for the 1st time. rgds Sameer 'You will be what you WILL to Be' -James Allen

Email Copier aka archiver
by Sushant Gulati 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

hello friends, i apologize again for asking a question again to this group rather than solving someone's problems. Its bcoz i hav too little experience compared to u guys, in terms of programming, exposure and knowledge about linux. i request u people to help me out in one small matter yet again. I am developing a mail archival system and due to suggestions of many people in the company i am working for(its a student project), we all hav decided to change our design thoroughly. Since one of the foremost task for a mail archival system is tocomply to regulatory requirements, which mostly are to store each and every email that is recieved by the company, we hav thought about an idea, of copying the email as soon as it enters the mail server, but before it gets stored in the personal mailbox of the user. The idea is to install our own software agent at the SMTP gateway to grab the mail before our MTA does and then copy the mail and then send one copy for archival and hand over the original mail message to the MTA. This way the MTA recieves the mail normally, while it is archived also. I apologize for sending such a big mail, but I also want u ppl to suggest how could i explain this problem statement in short or somewhere else. I need u guys to help me in the nuances of netiquette for using mailing lists like this. Thanks so much, i'll be waiting eagerly for replies, With regards, Sushant __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Help with building SpiderMonkey JS engine
by Rohan Nogueira 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hi all, I'm currently working on a project involving the integration of the SpiderMonkey JS engine with an Apache module I've made. I'm using Debian sarge currently. I have installed the package libsmjs-dev to get the JS API. Unfortunately, whenever I try to compile even the sample code, it gives me a whole lot of errors in the library files. The first error it gives is /usr/include/smjs/jstypes.h:224:6: #error "Must define one of XP_BEOS, XP_MAC, XP_OS2, XP_WIN or XP_UNIX" I figure this is due to the fact that I've not built the JS engine. Does anybody know how to build the JS engine given the packages in Debian, or even any other method? Thanks, Rohan Nogueira ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
