Re: [ILUG-BOM] mail servers

>which mail servers do you guys suggest one should use? I have heard good >things about qmail, but it requires a static ip. Exim isnt very popular and >sendmail is a tad bit scary for me... anyone else got any suggestions? I have used qmail and found out to be good. Others I haven't tried. Lot of info is available on qmail all over. Any mail server if it has to be live will need a static ip. I heard Exim is the one which can be configured as a smarthost, if you do not have static ip.

mail system queries-2
by abhijeet 07 Oct '01

07 Oct '01

hi, thanks for the prompt response. but i still have a few queries..... 1.> If the mail server doesn't check who i am when accepting a message for delivery......doesn't that mean that anybody could use somebody else's mail id to send mail???? i.e. i could send mail as someone_else(a)rediffmail.com or more locally root(a)localhost.localdomain(by doing a self telnet on port25).... wouldn't that be a security loophole.....i mean its pretty harmless...but it means i could use some other mail id for unsolicited mail???? any method of avoiding this??? 2.> about...mutt and the address book facility.....its implemented as aliases right??....could u guys direct me to a few good howtos? 3.> about my yahoo inbox....here's the complete interaction:- (rather what i thought was relevant......) fetchmail: POP3< +OK password required. fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK maildrop ready, 1 message (9625 octets) (446 6291456) fetchmail: selecting or re-polling default folder fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 9625 fetchmail: POP3> LAST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 1 message (1 seen) for innovativecrap at pop.vip.sc5.yahoo.com (9625 octets). fetchmail: POP3> LIST fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 message (9625 octets) fetchmail: POP3< 1 9625 fetchmail: POP3< . skipping message 1 not flushed fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK server signing off. fetchmail: not swapping UID lists, no UIDs seen this query fetchmail: Query status=1 (NOMAIL) <<<<<what does that mean???? fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file. fetchmail: normal termination, status 1 fetchmail: Deleting fetchids file. (i did a fetchmail -v -v) well any idea what's up?????? bye thanks sorry 'bout the length... abhijeet

[ANNOUNCE] httptype
by Philip S Tellis 06 Oct '01

06 Oct '01

Just some shameless advertising. If any of you have been using my httptype program, there is a new version out. Get it from freshmeat. More than anything, the code is cleaner, and one bug in getting port numbers has been fixed. I've also written an implementation of tictactoe that does not use lookahead. It can play any odd sized board (3, 5, 7) and will never lose except when playing second on boards of size 1. It's got a 9/10 rating on freshmeat.

Thanks , Praveen.
