Difficulty using procmail
by Graham Trott 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

I'm trying to filter out the tidal wave of spam, now reaching 100 a day on one mailbox, by using bogofilter as part of a procmail filter. My mailserver is postfix, set to invoke procmail by having main.cf contain the line mailbox_command /usr/bin/procmail I set up /etc/procmailrc to contain the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------- # Pass all mail through bogofilter :0fw | bogofilter -u -e -p # If bogofilter failed, return the mail to the queue. # The MTA will retry to deliver it later. :0e { EXITCODE=75 HOST } # File the mail to "spam-bogofilter" if it's spam. :0: * ^X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter spam-bogofilter -------------------------------------------------------------------- which according to the bogofilter manual should send all spam to "spam-bogofilter". But it doesn't. The messages get delivered to the user's mailbox without spam-bogofilter ever getting written. The messages themselves contain the X-Bogosity headers and are correctly classified as being spam or not, so it appears either the last rule isn't being reached or isn't operating correctly. I find the procmail syntax pretty impenetrable; can anyone help deduce what's going wrong? -- GT

Hi there a small hello from a new member....
by Robert Frusher 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

Hi there, My name is Robert Frusher and have joined the mailing list, I live in King's Lynn Norfolk, presently driving buses for a living... I'm probably not quite a newbie of Linux as I have been using it on and off for about five years. Have had many problems and solved some of them. I was pointed to the group and mailing list by Nick, from Home and Business computing in Lynn. I use both Windows XP and Slackware Linux, the latter more often than not because of what I use my computer for - Web, Email, Software Development and Databases... (I have a degree in computer software engineering I like to keep up with it) Expect some questions, and if I see anything that I may be able to help with I will give it a shot. Robert Frusher

Norwich sunday meetings - another suggestion
by Syd Hancock 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

A couple of people have said that they can book a room at UEA, which has always been a popular choice of venue. Since the upcoming 'anniversary' get-together at the start of May has already been discussed and arranged, and since it seems best to keep that as more of a social than a technical event, I suggest that we have another sunday meet in Norwich, at UEA, to bring kit along etc, farly soon. I propose the last w/e in June, i.e sunday 28th June. Does this clash with any other planned events, local or national? As always, comments welcome especially anyone who can say that they intend to be there. Syd

Gentoo 2004.0 LiveCD install
by Glen Tyler 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

I was so impressed with Gentoo 1.4 that I decided to upgrade and bought the 2CD set of 2004.0, but despite what it says in the install guide such as "if you don't have a working network connection, you have to install a portage snapshot provided by one of or liveCDs" -I did :-) As I want to start at Stage1 I need to run the bootstrap script, but I get to that point the install fails as emerge tries to download another version of portage from the Gentoo Mirrors. I've tried the Gentoo forums, but there does not seem to be much about this, other than 'use a network connection' or 'use Stage3'. As the documentation says that it can be done (although its not the default method) then I assume that they know what they're saying. Is there a way I can stop emerge doing this, or at least show it where I've put the sources? Thanks again Glen

Very sensible really. If you do an 'xhost +' before su-ing you'll be ok. Cheers, Steve P.S. MJR, thanks for being patient. Think I've tamed the beast that is yahoo mail now. Got to better than Outlook though ;)

Any ideas what might be going on here? Just means your X session isn't allowing requests from any user other than the one that started the session. Very sensible really. If you do an 'xhost +' before su-ing you'll be ok. Cheers, Steve P.S. Third time of sending due to Yahoo's irritating love of HTML mail. Maybe it'll even work this time ;)
