It may not be exactly the correct setup for you, but it might give you some
ideas of what to do... but find the the latest drivers before you start...

Hi,
Well the server I'm talking about is in South Africa. Needless to say that
bandwith is as expensive (or more) as gold down there. The mail server
belongs to an ISP I used to work for. It serves more than 40 000 customers
on a 5mb pipe(local)! The international pipe is even smaller!
Get the picture? ;)
ciao

using fetchmail would defeat the point of using an imap-server.
if i read you correctly,
your pop accounts are from your provider.
thus in order to replace pop, your provider would have to give
you imap access instead,
which then you would access with an imap client.
however i assume you want all the mail copied to your local machine,
and work on it offline.
for this imap does not help.
and you certainly do not need an imap-server on your local machine.
greetings, martin.

As some of you know, I am planning to start a Dynamic DNS service of my own, which will allow people to host real world (i.e. .co.nz) domains on their dynamic ip connections. This is not really aimed at dial-up users, but more at *cough* broadband 'always on' connections (i.e. JetStart).
Most of the scripts are complete, and my tests so far have gone well. However, I would like to start a trial with a few people soon.
So if you are interested, please fill in the form at the following link, and I will select a few people in the next week to begin the trial.

Cheers,
Aaron Martin.

Heh, completely off-topic, but reminds me of something (possibly
an urban legend) that to poke some fun at the warnings required on labels,
Husqvarna put out a chainsaw with a warning label "warning - chain is
sharp. Do not stop with hands or genitals".
Or the lady in the states who tried to sue a pharmaceutical because
after eating spermicide and then having intercourse, she got pregnant.
How obvious do things have to be? The Consumer Guarantee Act uses
the word "reasonable" a lot, leaving it up to the judge or jury to decide
what is reasonable. I think juries (and judges) could have a lot of
difficulty if some obscure technical problem occurred - would you expect
to explain how BGP routing works?
On the other hand, Telecom advertises Jetstart as "up to 5 times faster
than a dial-up modem", but Jetstart (with xtra at least) appears to
be massively over-subscribed, although I haven't noticed that much of a
slow-down on the Ham. East exchange. But you should see the bitching
in xtra.adsl about peak-time slowdowns.

Ok, I have a 128k and a 256k connection at my disposal, and a cd-writer. If
anyone wants linux cd's (or any other LEGAL cd's) downloaded and burned off, I
think a fair price would be $5/cd? Plus postage if required outside Hamilton?
Let me know your thoughts / orders!

ok,
suppose to clean the log I simply add with crontab -e the line
00 02 * * * mv /var/log/mylogname /var/log/mylogbakup
will this do the job of giving me a clean mylogname (the program creates
it if its missing just fine) as when I type this at console I am asked
if I wish to overwrite the file, will i need to add a "do it no matter
what" type of parameter to the mv or will it work without it?

Only posted there, as the mailer gave me an error when I sent this, and
I wasn't sure it went out to the list, I still intend to figure this
cron thing out, as well as logrotate......... And another old 486 comes
back to life :-)
at least I know now that the posting worked, I guess i'll see if i still
get the error message this time too.

This can also be caused by having the wrong settings for CHS, or if there is
HD management software on the HD, seagate and connor drives had one that
could make the HD bigger than what could be read by some of the fdisk
programs..
