Is anyone able to tell me why I can no longer get Outlook to recognize email address spammaster@domain.com after deleting maillog files to make more room on our email server. This was set up as a forward of all spam so it could be reviewed.

We are running spammaster with sendmail on a FreeBSD server.

this is a reply to my last message , I have given up on trying to install Linux on a virtual raid 0 system, so I ended up installing win 98 se with a new web browser OPERA and it runs like a hot dam, by far this is my most complex P/C to date, in one respect by the things it can do, the open source community has truly bean a liberator for me , not to mention Debian lenny -57-i386 1.iso I know this is old hat by computer standards , I was having problems trying to install NDISWRAPPER on an i386 architecture , and it did not help when my PC was hacked and I was effectively locked out of my p/c, no thanks to VLUG in Victoria but thats a “Hole” different story, I ended up installing ndiswrapper with a new O/S on a network complete with a bunch of other computers , I am currently working on a new black project , but that is top secret .

some distributions are setup that way by default, which is kind of annoying. Means if anyone logs in remotely in any way, they can turn you off or reboot you. NOT FUNNY. I hope you have a firewall and have it enabled.

your permissions. you can set it so a remote user can shut down the server. change permissions on shutdown or search your distributions forum and post if you do not find an answer in there or in google.

Trace of runtime activities in UNIX

I’ve taken a project to work upon tracing of runtime activities on unix system
into a log file. Like, to implement a program which will show the log of everything
happened in past, including many requirements, like applications i used (with the time of access),
kind of files/directories i opened, closed, created, deleted(with the time), etc.

Please suggest me something to do it in a better way.

Hi,

[1] What log files in /var/logs can we safely delete to free up hard-disk space?

[2] System reports “Disk-Controller Failure” then which log files in /var/logs should we check?

/var/log/kern.log

/var/log/boot.log

or some other log files?
