I think my mail system is a little more sane now. I switched from sendmail to postfix a while back and I never had the time to get it working in the same way. I discovered at one point that I had been bouncing all email for my projectphotos domain. oops. At the time I put in a hack to make it work but now I think I have almost everything working.

All mail from my internal machines should be written to @dirk.demon.co.uk.
I found the entry that was rewriting localhost to localhost.demon.co.uk instead of dirk.demon.co.uk. It now rewrites localhost host to localhost.dirk.demon.co.uk which then gets rewritten to dirk.demon.co.uk on delivery.

Mail bounces by fetchmail now come from fetchmail@dirk.demon.co.uk instead of fetchmail@internaldomain.

The one thing I have left to do is to find a way to bounce email to users that I no nolonger wish to get mail from. Currently you would get 2 emails from fetchmail. I would prefer that postfix sends just one email.

I am torturing my self again. I am looking at house listings.

Interesting, I looked at the MD ad online for best buy and they have the lion king for 13.99 but I saw a VA ad yesterday and it was for 11.99. I changed the zip on the web page and yes VA is 11.99 online and 13.99 in MD. How strange.

from The Scotsman online news paper has an whole section dedicated to the simpsons They also have an rss feed for all these. See Sean’s entry for more

I need to look at my personal email account. I just deleted 2000 spam messages, this dates from the first of the month. This account has a keyword filter on it, if you are not in my address book or have the keyword in the subject then it gets bounced back to the user. If it is classed as spam then it goes straight into my junk folder.

But now I see this https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,103999,00.html and I am not so sure.

Cirque Du Soleil is playing on Bravo all this week. The Tivo has been instructed to record all the different shows. I think I have just thought of something to add to my wish list for christmas.

Ok, from the I really should go to bed list instead of reading email. This came from a friend
Northen Lights

I am not religious but I am interested in the Dalai Lama. I had a look at his 2 books yesterday while I was in New York and now I read That he will be in Glasgow teaching

Guess how I am connected to the internet? Go on.

Well OK.

From my cell phone.

While I was on the bus yesterday to new york I was thought “If I had my laptop and the right cables and shit I could post to live journal”

Well I started researching it this morning and found that it shouldn’t be that hard to do. I also found I could get a cable from Radio shack. So since about 5pm I have been trying to get it to work.
Specs
LG VX10 phone from Verizon
12 inch PowerBook from Apple running 12.3
FutureDial USB Cable for VX10.

and a ton of help from reading the maccellphone group on yahoo.

A reboot later and I am posting this.
