Configuring sendmail to work with gmail hosted domain
by Vinayakam Murugan 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello We have moved our domain hosting to gmail recently. We want to continue using our linux server as our local post office. The problem faced is that the sender's email address is sent as the user whose credentials are used for authentication. Suppose xyz(a)mydomain.com is the user whose credentials are used for authentication, then mail sent by me go out as Vinayakam Murugan ( xyz(a)mydomain.com) instead of (vinayak(a)mydomain.com) which was the case earlier. We have added the following lines to my sendmail.mc LOCAL_CONFIG C{VirtHost}mydomain.com <http://o-i.com/> FEATURE(`nocanonify') define(`confCON_EXPENSIVE',`true') define(`confME_TOO',`true') define(`SMTP_MAILER_FLAGS',e) define(SMART_HOST,mydomain <http://mail.w-o-i.com/>.com <http://o-i.com/>) dnl define(`SMTP_MAILER_MAXRCPTS',`1') MASQUERADE_AS(`mydomain.com <http://o-i.com/>') define(`confMAX_MESSAGE_SIZE',`10000000') FEATURE(`always_add_domain') FEATURE(`allmasquerade') FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain') FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=465,Addr=10.0.0.1, Name=MTA') Any pointers to what might be going wrong would be helpful. -- Warm Regards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vinayak http://theregoesanotherday.blogspot.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you aim to fly, then don't hang around with chickens.

JSP problem with Firefox
by Rony 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello All, I was filling out the online passport registration form and had problems with the date field. After the focus was moved to any other field, the last digit of the date would get cut. You can try it out on the link below. https://passport.gov.in/pms/OnlineRegistration.jsp Even reducing the date from 4 to 2 characters show the same result. Even in windows the same problem existed in firefox. The only way it worked was in IE7. (It may be working in IE6 too but I don't have it). Is there a work around for this? I am planning to write to the Delhi office that may be in charge of the website. You could write too. -- Regards, Rony.
