I want to setup a GNUPG server at my college. I tried googling, and the only solution seems to be to try on the openkeyserver project. Is there any other way for me to do it?

Setting up an Email server
by Ashwin S. Athram 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

Hello, I am trying to setup an email server in my office premises. I want to setup a server which can receive mails for a domain like the following one( giving only the format not the exact one since it is not yet decided): user(a)anything1.host1.domain.com user(a)anything2.host1.domain.com user(a)anything2.host1.domain.com basically its the second subdomain which is changing along with user name, rest of the other things remains same. I have a static IP with me which is yet to be registered for the domain name. Since I am new to this task and don't know how to go about it. Though I have read from a site www.dyndns.org, and they suggest that the static IP should be on the hostname host1.domain.com for above example. Am I right in understanding that? Also please let me know the step by step process of how to go about it, including how to request for the MX and A records settings. Thanks in advance, Ashwin -- ASHWIN S.

Processing OutGoing Emails
by SANS 06 Dec '03

06 Dec '03

Hi All, I need to manipulate (modify headers, check body for certain strings etc, append footer texts etc..) every outgoing email. How can this be done. I have been googling for a long time but no good clue... I am considering the following options... (1) I can pipe every outging email to a PHP script which will do the necessary manipulation and then forward the email to SMTP. I wonder if this is possible (2) I can pipe every outgoing mail to MySQL. I can then use PHP scripts to manipulate the email and fwd it to the SMTP. (3) I will have to write a PHP script (whch will behave like an SMTP server) and bind it to port XX. The Email clients can be configured to deliver the email to Port XX instead of port 25. I don't really know how complicated this PHP script will be !! Any inputs, pointers are deeply thanked. I am open to using Sendmail / Postfix / Qmail. regards, Sans __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

Hi, Came back from Bangalore Linux yesterday and it's been a great event. I had taken two sessions there - one on Smarty PHP Template Engine and one on Jabber. Was wondering when do we have the next GLUG meet. Is it 14th? If we have enough people interested, I could give a talk on either of the above topics (if not this month, may be next).

Only a _few_ students learning computer science know about it. How many of them actually use it I dont know. So there is a majority who dont know about Linux. These people are using pirated softwares primarily. As RMS says towards building a better society, we need to spread Linux awareness. 2) There are companies which use Properietery software for their needs which can easily be fulfilled by FLOSS software. This will help these companies reduce their operational costs and increase profits or reduce price for their product. In any way economy is benifitted. I dont want to start a flame war here over TCO. I belive that Linux has lower TCO than properitery softwares. 3) FLOSS offers a lot of learning opportunities in the technology. a generation strong in the technical field will fetch more work to India than just BPO work. And when I say technology, that includes Microsoft technologies like .NET for which one can start developing applications on Linux platform using MONO or DotGNU. (I just came from Bangalore Linux 2003 where I saw a few demonstrations of how Mono can be used to code in C#) In my opinion the agenda should be to make more and more people aware about the viable alternative out there. Let this event get good media coverage, let it be known in all the colleges in Mumbai. And not just Engineering one, but all the Arts/Commerce/Science colleges. In my opinion such events should be arranged in all major cities. Since we stay in Mumbai, we should take responsibility to conduct such an event. The problem I see is how many volenteers we have? how many of us has time to devote? Can we handle an event at such a volume? Regards Aseem

| there has to be a justified reason , purpose and need for it to happen ... | not just like a fun fair .... i mean AGENDA... what do u want to showcase / | address some problems... can u really showcase or address that issue ... Can site at least few reasons. I might be wrong :) 1. Commercial point of view - Spreading linux awareness amongst companies. In my current organisation, I asked my boss if I could use Linux as my desktop. The answer was a straight away "why do u need Linux ? ". And the company spends so much time and resources on windows patches and security alerts just because everybody is running windoze. 2. Programmers perspective - clearly Bangalore and Hyd are ahead of Mumbai in technology race. In such a situation ppl from Mumbai have to shift to Blr and Hyd for better career prospects. While I do appreciate growth of Blr and Hyd, I do not see any reason why Mumbai should be left out of the race. Holding such events will definately foster technical growth in Mumbai. 3. End user perspective - Mumbai with all its banks and financial institutions is financial capital of the country and a promising market. 4. Maybe even govt. agencies can benifit ( if they find time from the various scams :) ) --yogesh
