[Tip of the day] Sigdashes
by Philip Tellis 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Sigdashes are a (de facto) way of specifying where your mail ends and your signature starts. They're pretty cool, because smart mailers and newsreaders can do funky things when they notice sigdashes. For example, many mail clients will strip off old signatures when replying to mails. This is a Good Thing, because, hey, just one signature per mail ya? Many mail clients, like mutt, can display signatures in a different colour or font. So, what /are/ sigdashes? The character sequence "dash dash space" on a line by themselves are collectively known as sigdashes. It looks something like this (without the quotes): "-- " Configuring your mail client to use sigdashes: Pine: Setup | Config - Composer Preferences | Enable Sigdashes - Reply Preferences | Strip From sigdashes in reply Mutt: (sigdashes on by default) in .muttrc, add set sig_dashes=yes unless it's set to "no" in /etc/Muttrc or ~/.muttrc, you do not need to do anything. Thunderbird (via TagZilla): In the TagZilla | Formatting screen, set Tagline Prefix to (without quotes) "\n-- \n" Thunderbird (no TagZilla) / Evolution / Web based mail: Include the sigdashes line as the first line of your signature file/text. Kmail / Outlook Express: (No idea) Go forth and spread the good news. -- You mean you didn't *know* she was off making lots of little phone companies?

Network settings (home network)
by Vickram Crishna 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Please advise: Network settings enables the same hardware device to be configured in different ways, so for instance I can apparently set it to detect network settings automatically (so it takes the settings from the ISP's server using DHCP, just as I already do now) and also manually set it to a local address (say for instance 10.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.1). These can be identified as eth0 and eth1, both referring to the same network card. My questions are based on: if both settings are activated simultaneously, can I use this feature to connect to the Net on one and connect to a local network with the other? If the machine is connected to the Net using a hub, can I then use the machine to act as a local mail server (ie, pick up my mail from my various POP addresses and hold them for local distribution when the other local machine(s) are switched on)? I presume such mail servers (qmail, etc) can also be configured to trash spam and viruses, just as clients do. And what about browsing? Is this what is meant by proxy? Can the box also act as a firewall and virus trap for browsing, using a suitable app? Guidance much appreciated. -- Vickram

Disaster?
by Sujeet Bhatt 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Guys, I accidentally issued the command: chmod 01777 / One of the consequences seeems to be that my /var/spool/mail directory is zero bytes - I am unable to send a test mail to myself. The ouput of mailq is: [root@localhost mail]# mailq /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 91: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/local-host-names': World writable directory /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 588: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writable directory What are the other consequences and how do I reverse this?
