Hi Dennis,

I just brought the box back up and updated Mailman.  I
didn't find a specific link on that page, but things
should be working now.

thanks,

Try out amavis sometime when you get a chance.

http://www.amavis.org/

It provides a nice way to Integrate ClamAV, Spamassassin, Postfix, and/or
any other optional tricks you like.

What's more you ask. It's Perl too!

Yeah, I came across it a while ago, but Anomy seemed easier to
setup...  Back then, there were no packages (or emerge) for it...  ;-)

A small poll...It's been dead around here, and I wonder how others do it.

Assuming you need to access your X desktop via VNC, what would your

Besides tunneling it via port-forward with SSH, just give "hamachi" a
try.  With my Gnome Desktop's sharing utilty enabled (vino), I use vnc
on Winderz and get a Desktop.

NoMachine's NX Server. It provides X over SSH with no configuration required. You only need to leave the SSH port open on the firewall, and don't have to worry about holes in the VNC server software.

Combine that with free "hamachi" and you won't have to adjust your
firewall at all.  It's also cross-platform.   ;-)

I don't think it's a package at all... Rather a unix service that can be
postfix connected to by modifying the master.cf file. The service then
returns mail back to postfix or even cyrus, now that the mail is trusted or
marked for quarantine.

Yeah, in Debian and its derivatives, you can now "apt-get" the sucker.
 I imagine it's easier to setup now than when I looked into it ages
and ages ago.  ;-)  It works very similar to Anomy (create a pipe
service in the master.cf file).  It's the link between your antispam,
antivirus and mail components.  It *is* very very popular.  I think
I've even seen some of those pre-fabbed mail gateway boxes online
using it.

Ah, gpena at ltsp... Brings back some memories man.

In any event, I set up Amavis on a gentoo server.
I liked the ease of controlling Anti-spam/virus in one location.

Plus, it can maintain redundant stuff like a backup virus scanner on some
other server.

Just give amavis the location of you binaries and tadow, you own 'dis her'
joint.

Starting yesterday, my machine has been power cycling about once an hour. 
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, I'm just working along and 
*poof* it's off.  It comes right back on about 3 seconds later.

I haven't ruled out actual bad power outlets or anything, but I have a 
fear it's something in my box.

It's not overheating, I checked that.  What else would I look for?  Would 
bad ram do this?

The power supply is the usual culprit. The damn things are made so cheaply these days.

That's nothing!  A few weeks back my computer was power cycling every 
200 milliseconds!  I had shut it down to do an upgrade and that's how it 
thanked me.  You could hear the whine of (probably) the failed 
capacitors when the power supply was in standby.  Power supply replaced 
under warranty.  A faulty power switch or a bad power supply are the 
only things I can think of that would actually power off the computer.

I did some checking, and it was happening every 59-61 seconds.  That made 
me hunt for a software issue.  On a reboot, I chose the kernel one 
previous to my latest, and it appears to have fixed it.

The latest is actually fairly old, relatively speaking, so I don't know 
why it started doing that to me.

Anyway, I've passed the 61 min mark and I'm still up, we'll see how the 
rest of the day goes.

Could be a power management bug in the kernel or ACPI.  How old is the 
computer?

I built it this summer with all new parts.  The kernel that caused the 
trouble I've been using for about a month I think.

It's been up for 11 hours now, so I'm happy.  Who knew I'd ever be happy 
to count my uptime in hours?
