Could you build a water cooled PC?
by Krishna Birth 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

I am interested also in having a water cooled PC. I am on a budget. Thus it should not be expensive. The watercooling kit should be open not closed / sealed unit because it should allow me to put the distilled water. Regards, Meeku

I want to change the font on the Bios which is separate from the operating system. Have any LUG members experience with changing the font on Bios via the video card? Regards, Meeku

ALUG Announce Please send announcements to Announce(a)lists.alug.org.uk Unsub, change settings via http://lists.alug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/announce ----- Hello Aluggers, Our monthly ALUG Norwich social meeting will be held this Thursday, 9th June at The Coach and Horses (82 Thorpe Road, Norwich, NR1 1BA). The meeting officially starts at 8pm, although some people may arrive earlier. More information on those people can be found on the list and the IRC channel. If you are unsure if you will recognise us then make yourself and your intent to attend known by either posting on list or visiting us on IRC so we can look out for you rather than hiding in the corner. Optionally you could ask at the bar if they know where the geeky computer weirdos are and they'll point you in the right direction (seriously!). Another possibility is look for heaps of electronics on a table that may possibly look like movie props that would used for detonating explosives. Feel free to bring electronics/laptops/gadgets to the meet, you will by no means be alone. Ben Bewick aka Viperfang NB: This mail is automated, please refer to the usual sources for more information.

It is meant to be free os and a linux based distro. What is meant to be different and planned about onlliinnee is: only unique fonts, software, development, a specific website home page on the browser, startup screen connects to video website/s, related with model railroad / railway, diecasting and ‘automation over internet protocol’ (AOIP) especially Rail Model AOIP (RMAOIP) and is for Srila Prabhupada: the always on eternal spiritual initiating and education guru.

Postfix (Sendmail) problem

I discovered that when using sendmail directly with the -f option it does work. I've now engineered a procmail recipe involving sendmail -f that also works. So all is now back to working the way it did before. Thanks for your help and if I ever come across a chocolate teapot you'll be the first to know. -- Barry Samuels

I have found that turning off polling in Thunderbird and using IDLE instead may help. I'm evaluating this at the moment.

Postfix (Sendmail) problem
by Barry Samuels 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Debian Testing/Wheezy, kernel 2.6.38, Postfix I've had a procmail receipe in place for a few weeks now and it's been working well. :0 * ^(TO|FROM):.+@mydomainname.* { :0c # Send a copy to the other email account. ! someone(a)anotherdomainname.com # File the original as normal :0 foldername } Then a few days ago, probably after some OS updates, it fails with: status=deferred (host mail.*******.*****.com[000.00.00.0] said: 451 4.4.0 DNS temporary failure (chkuser) (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) (I've removed the data identifying the destination) I have also tried sending an email directly using /usr/bin/sendmail and that produces the same result, whatever the emails destination, so I'm assuming it must be my setup. I can't explain why it worked before but doesn't now though. I have really no idea what this means as Postfix configuration is a series of magical incantaitions which I don't understand. Some help would be much appreciated. -- Barry Samuels
