qmail is not receiving mails
by Ashwin S. Athram 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Hi, I have configured the qmail and it is working on two of the machines over my LAN. I have given have given names to the two hosts and local domain as well. My locals file contains : mailmladelhi.mladelhi.mine.nu My defaultdomain file contains: mladelhi.mine.nu locals file on other machine contains : ashwin.mladelhi.mine.nu defaultdomain file contains: mladelhi.mine.nu Now i have three users on both the machines and one of them is aliased for postmaster, mailerdaemon. I am successful in sending and receive mails among the local users on each machine. But when i try to send mails from an user from one machine to the other, it does not receive the mails. I checked the /var/log/qmail/current file which says: >>@400000003f606b71130919ac new msg 1370290 >>@400000003f606b7113092d34 info msg 1370290: bytes 276 from >><root(a)mailmladelhi.mladelhi.mine.nu> qp 22375 uid 0 >>@400000003f606b71245cd874 starting delivery 9: msg 1370290 to remote >>ashwin(a)ashwin.mladelhi.mine.nu >>@400000003f606b71245e8624 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 >>@400000003f606b7700b21bb4 delivery 9: deferral: >>Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ >>@400000003f606b7700b23324 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 I am using the /var/qmail/bin/sendmail command to send the mails. Can anybody let me know what is the mistake I am committing. Is this a DNS issue or setting up of MX records. I want that the mails should be exchanged among different machines using qmail over LAN with the email address e.g. user(a)ashwin.mladelhi.mine.nu or user(a)mailmladelhi.mladelhi.mine.nu..

Re: [ILUG-BOM] installing modem

Try using minicom to check whether the modem is working properly on Linux,that is if you are using a serial port modem.Just see that you are using the correct device file(e.g, ttyS0 ..) in your configuration file(e.g, wvdial.conf) and check the serial port(by an stty <device>).Also you can write to that port and see the modem lights blink or not(e.g, cat /etc/passwd > /dev/ttySx ). hope this helps. rohit On Wed, 10 Sep 2003 pramila wrote : >Hello, >How to install modem for dialup connection ? i followed all the >steps from Linux Bible everything goes fine but its not >dialling. >My modem is working properly on windows >What can be problem ? >Pramila > > >--------------------------------- >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo!

RE: [ILUG-BOM] About LAMP query

10 Sep '03

>As what my reading goes about this query is when to use LAMP and when >J2EE?? For this, many of the Gurus suggested that for mid/small size >projects, the best option available is LAMP over J2EE and for bigger >enterprise applications, go for J2EE. First a few thoughts on what it really means, when a project scales from being a mid sized one to a large project. Things that would typically have changed post deployment are: 1. Number of users would have increased 2. Number of transactions would have increased 3. Scope (changes in business logic as well as many additions of components and functionality) 4. ??? Am I missing anything? Number 1 and 2 would typically have to be dealt with by upgrading hardware of the machine(s) hosting the Application Server and the Database Server. Starting with RAM, perhaps the CPU and then eventully putting into place a clustered solution. I am not very certain to what extent the choice of LAMP vs J2EE would effect this, except that the machine(s) hosting the J2EE App Server will require greater resources. However if we were to deploy the application over a cluster of servers as the application scaled up, then I hava heard that J2EE App Servers lend greater stability as opposed to a LAMP solution. This is something that I have read, but do not have any practical experience. So please correct if it's worng. As for number 3. All applications will have post deployment enhancements As an application undergoes these changes, it should still be understandable/maintenable as well as robust. Also effort of making these changes should be as low as possible. This sort of scalability is achieved by a good architecture more than anything else. J2EE enforces certain standards and proposes a blueprint for application developers. If these standards are followed properly, the application becomes more understandabe and maintenable. Also many people find it easier to understand code written in a strongly typed language (Java/C++) than a weakly typed language (PHP), especially when dealing with a large code base. Offcourse a badly coded J2EE app would be just as hard to maintain. However the existence of standards and a J2EE blueprint would support writing better code. There are a lot of infrastructure level components that go into making a large application. Things like database pooling, MVC libraries, templating mechanism, authentication and authorization, persistence, etc, etc. Some of these are taken care of by the J2EE application server, hence making the application portable accross App Servers, and reducing the programmers effort in having to either build them or integrate 3rd party components. These are some factors favouring J2EE. I have been given to understand that LAMP on the other hand has a smaller learning curve and one can build applications far quicker than if they were to use J2EE. However these factors can often be overridden by by purely non-technical reasons, as Shuvam mentioned in an earlier mail. Sorry for the rather long mail. -- regards Parag Shah Adaptive Software Solutions http://www.adaptivesoftware.biz

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] J2EE vs LAMP
by Parag Shah 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

>IMHO, J2EE and LAMP differ largely in scalability and complexity. J2EE >is more targeted towards complex applications, while LAMP is more >suitable for small - medium scale web applications. I agree, J2EE does scale very well. It is also easy to design very flexible solutions with J2EE. Resource consumption is a downside, however for small to mid sized applications, it is possible to avoid the EJB route, and simple use an application framework such as Expresso, and deploy the solution on Tomcat. This reduces resources consumption significantly. >LAMP should be sufficient for a low complexity application and MySQL >would be the first thing to become a limiting factor in load taking >capacity, provided the hardware and network are capable enough. FYI, >sourceforge.net is done in PHP with DB2 having replaced MySQL not too >long ago. I guess LAMP would suffice for the Project Management >Application. Yes I think so too. LAMP would be a good choice for a small scale project management solution. Also there are good PHP based open source applications such as PHPCollab and TUTOS to use as a base. >Personally, I am also planning to look into C++ with XML as a platform >for enterprise applications and web services. There are some really >capable application development frameworks like ACE available for it. >Generally, stuff that's available in J2EE is also available in C++. >It's just that the former gets noticed since there's no >c++.bigcorp.com. Oh, but my opinion may be biased due to my perennial >rant against Java, the platform. ;) Are the libraries available in C++ for enterprise applications as extensive as J2EE? I think most people choose J2EE because of the huge array of libraries/components available, which they can leverage right away. Another reason in favour of Java is automatic garbage collection. This makes it easier to create more robust applications. Does C++ have something equivalent. I have used Java for quite some time and have found it to be a reasonably good platform to use. However I have never used C++ to build enterprise level applications, so I am not familiar with it's strenghts. Java does have shortcomings, mainly those of speed. However there are ways to work around them. My biggest issue with Java used to be that Sun released too many libraries too soon without really ensuring quality. Though I believe they have become better at that. I am curious to know your reasons for disliking Java and preferring C++ :-) -- regards Parag Shah Adaptive Software Solutions http://www.adaptivesoftware.biz

Hi Gurus, > From: Philip S Tellis > > You should probably look at HTML::Template for your HTML > Templates, and > PDF::Template for your PDF Templates. As what my reading goes about this query is when to use LAMP and when J2EE?? For this, many of the Gurus suggested that for mid/small size projects, the best option available is LAMP over J2EE and for bigger enterprise applications, go for J2EE. So, my question here is - the person who wanted to get this for some school database for managing reports and all, how much feasible to use this LAMP? As may be currently he'll implement it for some standards like 9th and 10th...but later it might need to generalised for the whole school. Similar situation can happen with any other application, where we might start off with LAMP considering it as mid/small project, but later when it need to work out on a bigger scale, how much feasible it's to put an effort on portaility of the application? Just wanted to knw the effort estimates for scaling general LAMP application (apprxly. percent of time) over the application which has been developed in J2EE. Hope all concerned Gurus understand my query, if not feel free to mail me. Best Regards, --Yogesh R Upadhye. Asia Pacific Practice Unit, Pune DC.

About LAMP query
by Kamlesh Parmar 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I have gone through all the post related to LAMP... I feel, I should give more details regarding nature of automated system required... So that I can get some specific pointers... System Requirement: 1. It will be mainly a small 3000 to 5000 record database with student details 2. As of now, main application of it is to generate exam grade reports... 3. And it should be able to give concise & well formatted reports, which could be printed on ordinary printers 4. The periodic backup of records, if it can be integrated in automation system, rather than relying on OS level backup. According to me, there are three main parts of the system, 1) Data Entry of records 2) Algorithm to generate reports based on schools grading logic 3) Report Generation & Printing My View * 1st & 3rd part functions should be extremely user friendly. * Business logic should be isolated into module of its own, and tightly secured. (I don't know how?) * Report generation will be multilingual (English, Gujarati), so better printing support. Now, 1) If at all LAMP is feasible? If yes, how can LAMP setup be utilized? 2) Application should be Desktop based or web based? Regards, Kamlesh Parmar
