by Lindsay Druett 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hey Guys, Do any telephone techs on this list have a copy of the old Panasonic KX-T1232(10B) phone system installation manual that I could either borrow or at least get the cable pin-outs ? This is needed for shifting a phone system from one building to the another. Please reply to me directly (off list). (No, this is not intented to start a discussion thread with traditional phone technology vs. VoIP)

No Nandor at WLUG meeting on Monday
by Craig Box 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi, After months of broken communication and Nandor not returning our emails, he's managed to _triple_ book this Monday and as such won't be presenting to the WLUG. We'll still have a meeting, but it will probably be a presentation by a local member. Thanks, Craig

Train spamassassin virtual domains.
by DrWho? 12 May '05

12 May '05

A question for all you script people. Has anyone come across a script that will read all users from the userprefs table then call sa-learn, with the user name and a constructed path to the spam / no spam. Basicly I have set up two IMAP folders, spam and no spam for use per user, which will hopefully be used to train spamassassin per user. All user options and Bayes are stored in MYSQL. I am using vpopmail to provide the "virtual domains" so the script has to be able to pull the user name apart so it can be re-assembled to form a path to the spam folders. i.e. User - x(a)y.z Path to spam folder - /home/vpopmail/domains/y.z/x/Spam/New Oddly enough I thought this would be something every man and his dog would do, but it seems not. Any ideas???
