Being driven crazy

I'm going crazy trying to get exim to do what I want it to. Basically, every mail that I send (locally to myself) is being frozen. I CAN send with php sendmail. I can hardly find any info at all on this, so I'm not even sure if exim is the right program to achieve what I want.
Basically I have a server on a domain that needs to have a couple email accounts.
[email protected]
[email protected]
etc.
But they're not really email accounts. I just want the server to receieve the mail and then forward it to the admin's personal email.
Is exim really the right way to do this? If so, I can post more of my configuration.

Well I have only used postfix, but it sounds like exim is not differentiating between a virtual and local user, there should be some way of defining that email sent to [email protected] from the local network should be delivered to <user x>. It is probably trying to send the email from [email protected] to {[email protected]}@localhost if you get what I mean? Rather than name@localhost.
In postfix you do it by defining a local domain, and then mapping the virtual addresses to local ones.
Exim is the right thing to be using, mail servers are a bitch to get working beyond the basic pass through stuff

  • Driven crazy by Microsoft Office Test Drive

    Another MacBok question:
    I started using the M.Office Test Drive that comes on the MB. Meanwhile, I have my own MO, but it wasn't here. Now, 2 weeks later I've installed my own MO.
    Now, every file reads with the Test Drive software, which is going to expire in 2 weeks! I have dragged Test Drive in the trash, but then when I try to open the files I get some error message. They will only open with the Test Drive operating! Even if I write a file using my own MO, once it's saved, it will only re-open with Test Drive.
    I'm afraid to clean the Test Drive from the trash because these are important files. I fear to lose it as a back-up (even though I've only got 14 days left with it working). What if I can't ever use them without the Test Drive?
    Anyone understand this and know what to do?

    well I have to tell you something strange. That is, when I went to follow your instructions, I selected the document in the finder, and selected FILE, but all of the options are unhighlighted...I cannot do anything. However, when I click to OPEN anyway, the files open! Once this did not work--when I skipped the choosing of FILE on the toolbar, because of course that doesn't do anything if I have no choices there, however without that step I got the need to "convert file" issue. But when I tried it again with all the steps (the pointless selecting of FILE...) it opened. Very strange.
    I'm bot sure this is 'fixed' but at least my files aren't useless. (cause once I started having problems opening, I sent them to 2 friends to see if their computers would open them, and both reported that they opened as gibberish...). I think I will just trash both installations and install my MO asfresh...
    thanks again.

  • Faces is driving me crazy

    Just upgrade iphoto 09 from 08, spent 8 hours scanning 20,000 photos, it is just the beginning. After I assign name for my son's photos, it keeps scanning for his pictures, how long does it take to do that? The iphoto 09 performance is very slow, much slower than 08. Please help!

    i am also being driven crazy with faces. i have an iPhoto library with 60,000 images and let iPhoto 09 go for 3 straight days trying to index the library. problem is that there is no way to turn off faces indexing and it slows everything down. the 'geniuses' worked on it for a couple hours but had no solution except 'let it finish running' or 'revert to iPhoto 08'

  • How to "In Effect" Turn Off Time Zone on iCal AND main computer

    I am hopeful that this will help those of us who don't want to have any form of Time Zone on our computers or iCal. I read some of the other posts and see that it does not appear an option to completely turn off all Time Zones on the computer and iCal.
    What I am thinking about doing, is trying to "Trick" my computer & ical into thinking it doesn't ever go anywhere and thus leaves all of my appointments where they are - no matter what time zone I am actually in.
    I hope those of you more knowledgable can please help me see if this will work, or not?
    I am hoping that by leaving Time Zone Support turned "Off" in iCal and leaving my computer at a 'manual' Mountain Time Zone (meaning I don't have it set to have it automatically set to the right time - I will set it manually), my appointments will stay put (not move around 8 hours when I go to Italy &/or back to the US)?
    I can set the time "manually" to the correct time when I am in either US or Italy so my computer will reflect the current time, but still be set in Mountain Time Zone? Will the alarms still work on calendar events?
    The only drawback I can see so far, is that all of the times on emails are messed up (i.e., off by 8 hours) when I am actually in Italy because I still do have the main computer time zone set as Mountain Time - US.
    I am willing to live with this (I think?) if it leaves my appointment times alone.
    Someone on a similar thread had wanted iCal to function like a paper planner - that is exactly what I am looking for as well! (it looked like that thread was a bit older, so that's why I posted this new question. It is my first on this type of forum, so forgive me if I am doing something wrong - and please advise! :~)
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I am being driven crazy by, what I suppose to be, the same issue. I have used the Time Zone Support feature to somewhat limited success.
    I frequently travel between different time zones am confused on how to set up iCal to show the times of my events *in the place where they occur*. When I am in LA and I have a concert in Chicago later in the week, I don't need to know what time the Chicago concert is in LA.
    Syncing my Treo 650 adds another problem. Publishing the calendars adds another as the published times are not listed in the time zone where the events occur but rather what time zone my laptop is in.
    This seems simple to me, but I may be missing something. Here are my wishes:
    1. As I travel with my MacBook Pro that I can change my Date and Time preference to actually list the time zone where I am. Easily done...but...
    2. That the event times in iCal are unaffected by the changing of the Date and Time preference adjustment...(after all the concert in Chicago is still at 3pm on Friday, even if I am in Tokyo on Monday. I need to know the time of the Chicago concert in Chicago time, not Tokyo.)
    3. That calendars that I publish list the time in the place where the event occurs. I have students that need to know their lesson times but are consantly confused because the published times reflect whatever time zone I happen to be in...not where the lessons take place.
    4. That when I sync my Treo the event times automatically adjust to whichever time zome the treo picks up off the network time server. When I land in a new time zone, I need to know the the rehearsal starts at 10, in the city where I have just arrived.
    I have recently switched to the Apple PIM apps from Entourage...where, if I never changed the time zone, everything was fine.
    Sorry for the longish cry for help.
    Thanks

  • 10pm on a friday and I want to go home. HELP!!

    I'm being driven crazy by what I'm sure is a simple syntax issue. I have a Servlet that writes out an XML Report and have an attribute in this report called SelectByParticipant which has a value either 0 or 1 depending on whether I want the radio button checked when the screen loads.
    Here is the XML report header:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/tr/atmr/queryATMstatus.xsl"?>
    <queryATMstatus SelectByParticipant="0">
    Can someone tell me what's wrong with this picture?
    <input type="radio" name="QueryBy" value="ByParticipant" onclick ="return FillParticipants()"> By Participants:
                                  <xsl:if test=".[/@SelectByParticipant] = 1">
                                       <xsl:attribute name="checked">
                                            <xsl:value-of select="checked"></xsl:value-of>
                                       </xsl:attribute>
                                  </xsl:if>
                                  </input>
    I'm 99% positive that the problem lies here:
    <xsl:if test=".[/@SelectByParticipant] = 1">
    Because, here is the error message I get:
    Expected token 'eof' found '='. .[/@SelectByParticipant] -->=<-- 1
    It seems by the error message that it doesn't recognize the '=' symbol. What going on? What am I doing wrong. If I comment out the <xsl:if> everything works fine.

    I must say that //@SelectByParticipant is a pretty useless predicate. If you want to ask if there's any SelectByParticipant attribute anywhere in the XML that has the value 1, then you don't need any predicate at all. Try something more like this:
    <xsl:if test="//@SelectByParticipant = 1">
    If that's not right, then don't blame us. We are Java types here, there are XML and XSLT forums where you would probably get a better and quicker answer.

  • Genuine Apple Lightning Cable not recognized...

    I'm using an iPad mini, running iOS 7.0.6, and plugged directly into AC power with an Apple 2 meter charging cable, purchased @ the Apple Store. I am being driven crazy by the intermittent beeping of the iPad mini until it finally tells me the accessory is not supported.  Fortunately, the charging continues, but all this beeping and booping and the failure of the iPad to recognize a legitimate accessory is nutso. I have cleaned the connector more than once, yet the problem continues. Sometimes if I turn the connector around it will stop, other times not.
    As I never used any Apple device prior to the release of iOS 7, I can't comment on timing, but I have my suspicions that this is a software issue.

    Yes, I should have mentioned that; the Apple 2m lightning cable is plugged into the Apple square charger that came with the iPad mini. That is plugged directly into AC power.
    I updated iOS to 7.1 this week; the problem continues.

  • The Character Pallett repeatedly opens on its own and crashes

    Starting this morning I am being driven crazy by the Character Pallett launching unexpectedly on its own and then crashing almost immediately. Then it attempts to launch again, flashes briefly on screen, and crashes again. My crash log shows the same repeated process.[Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index < [_itemArray count])']
    It's pretty impossible to get anything done. I tried reinstalling OSX combo 1.6.8, but the installer would not see my startup drive as being eligable; I then reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 and attempted to update to 10.6.8 that way. But this attempt lead to an error that cancled the install. So now I am running 10,6, but with many apps that require 10.6.8. And the Character Pallett keeps poping up and then crashing even with 10.6. I'm beginning to think it may be a hardware problem, either ram or logic board issue; but I lack the diagnostic skills to figure it out.
    I thought of trying to launch the Character Pallett on purpose, but when I open the System Preferences and click the box that would place the Keybaord icon in the menu bar (which is the only way I know  to get to the Character Pallett) the icon doesn't appear. The check mark doesn't even stick.
    And help would be greatly appreciated.

    Where I am so far:
    1. First I should correct the term I was using. It's tje "Character Viewer" and not the Character Pallett. To access the viewer one normally opens System Prefs>Keyboard and clicks on the box saying Show Keyboard and Character Viewer in Menu Bar. Once in the menu bar, one can access the viewer via a pop down menue item. But I did not have the Keyboard in the menu bar and the viedwer was poping open on its own. I couldn't even get the keyboard menu to appear in the menu.
    2. I took the advice received so far and booted into Safe Mode, trashed the plist item. The viewer popped open on its own still, but did not immediately crash. I could click on the red window controller and close the window. In safe mode I could get the keyboard menu to appear and could select the Character Viewer.
    3. I removed off all my log in items—the only odd thing I noticed was the duplication of iTunes helper. At this point I still could not upgrade from 10.6 to 10.6.8 via the combo updater. So I rebooted normally, but with no log in items. The System Pref for showing the keyboard menu item still did not work. Nor could I upgrade to 10.6.8 with the combo updater. I also tried update just to 10.6.1, but got the same Installer error. But the Character Viewer popup/crash is gone, but so to is access to all the iLife apps that require 10.6.8. iTunes, for example cannot see my iPhone or iPad when they are plugged in via usb.
    So I guess I should thank yuou guys for your help andnow post a new question about not being able to upgrade Snow Leopard. Perhaps there's already been a similar problem posted.

  • Internal Harddrive Maximum Capacity

    Does anyone know if I am able to upgrade to an internal Hitachi Travelstar 160 gb ATA harddrive in my iBook G4 (12", 1.2 ghz, OS 10.4.10, 768 GB RAM)? I have heard with ATA 100 there is a cap at 120 gb? Can anyone verify the maximum capacity the iBook will support. I am running my 30 gb stock drive and am being driven crazy by lack of space. I'd like to get as large an internal as possible for the money I have available. Thanks.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The Apple Knowledge Base article on limitations on hard drive size:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
    seems to indicate that the 160 GB drive should work.
    Good luck with the new hard drive.

  • Increase number of rings before answer phone

    Hi
    Nokia 6500
    How do you increase the number of rings before the call automatically goes to answerphone? I keep missing my calls.
    It's a REALLY simple question I know, but I have searched the net and read the manual and can't find an answer.
    Does anyone know if it can be done and how?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Chris French on Acrobat XI | Insights on Acrobat Solutions | Adobe TV

    Chris French discusses some highlights we can look out for in Acrobat XI.
    http://adobe.ly/Q3E9Cd

    I think this version of Acrobat is the worst piece of garbage I've bought in the past three years. Acrobat 9 was a great program. Everything was easily accessible and intuitive. In this version nothing is easy to use or accessible and the Help functions stink. The people who managed the development of this version don't have a clue about what usability means and how to design something that mere mortals can use without being driven crazy. Various usability issues keep cropping up every time I try to do something with this program. Let me just say I use all kinds of complex software from Adobe and other vendors and I truly regret having spent over 200 dollars upgrading to this piece of junk. It's very obvious that it wasn't properly tested in a community of average users and if it was, their issues were probably in good measure ignored. I hope the Senior Management of Adobe is looking for people who can pick up the pieces and make something more usable out of the application as a whole including the added technical functionality the application does bring to market.

  • OS X User accounts and collaboration

    Would setting up some sort of networking protocol solve the following problem?
    My husband and I have separate user accounts on the same machine. We am being driven crazy by our inability to both work on the same files from our separate accounts. (Obviously we would not be working on them at the same time) The files are typically folder after folder of family photos that need editing.
    As far as I can tell there is no way to grant universal access to both users to all files in the "shared" folder regardless of authorship.  Irk!
    Is there some sort of networking protocol I can setup that would provide the necessary security/integrity structure that would convince OS X that it is OK for both users to both work on all the files in "Shared" or in some other special  location?  Not that we need the network.......
    I recently gave up and put our shared addresses and contacts on Google as there was no other way for both of us to access  and make changes to them from our login accounts.  Drop box could be a solution but that's crazy;  this is a huge photo collection going back to 1905.And why do we have to put things on the cloud when the hard drive is at our knee?   (We are currently using Photoshop CS5)
    We are on a Mac Pro hanging out with 10.6.8 and will upgrade OS as soon as I learn of a good reason to do so. 
    I am so grateful for your perspectives..

    Try putting the files in the Users/Shared folder, the do a Get Info (command - I) on the folder, unlock the Get Info, and then change everyone to read/write. Then go to the cog and select 'Apply to enclosed items'.

  • How can I get notes from my ipad to my mac?

    I am being driven crazy trying to do something that should be simple - moving some notes from my ipad to my macbook pro.
    I have tried Googlemail and it wont let me add any attachments on the ipad.  I've tried downloading software but can't find anything that works with the operating sytems I am using.  I want to throw this stupid ipad in the bin!  Can anyone help?

    Do you want to sync notes from the iOS Notes app to your Mac? If so, it's very easy, but not necessarily intuitive, as Notes notes on iOS sync over to Mail notes on Mac OS X. Duh, right? This will change, finally, with Mountain Lion, when Mac OS X will finally get a dedicated Notes application which will sync with iOS's Notes app. For some reason, it will still use an email account to do it, though, instead of iCloud.
    For this to happen automatically, you need to enable Note syncing within Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars. You'll need to have an email account that supports this. iCloud, AOL, Yahoo, and others will do so.
    Other options are to use Dropbox. Dropbox is a third-party service and app collection which works on nearly any device and is free for up to 2gb of storage. Install the Dropbox application on your Mac and the Dropbox app on your iPad. You can then use TextEdit or any number of other applications to create and edit plain text messages on your Mac; you just need to remember to store them within your Dropbox folder. You'll need a good text editor for your iPad; fortunately, there are plenty – I'm partial to Nebulous Notes.

  • Trouble running 3D Studio Max

    I recently put Bootcamp and Windows 7 on my iMac and I installed 3D Studio Max 2010 -- its the only program I want to use on Windows. The magic mouse does work basically under Windows but it won't scroll and so I can't zoom in Max and also the delete key on the little silver keyboard won't work so I have to go up under the edit menu -- on an extended keyboard its the 2nd delete key which is off to the right that works. I read that a new edition of Bootcamp will come out and solve the zoom/scroll problem -- but meanwhile I am being driven crazy. Can anybody please help this Macgirl -- I wouldn't have gone anywhere near Windows if it wasn't for Max:-)
    Thanks so much.

    My advice, buy a "real" mouse
    I traded in Apple mouse (and then keyboard) ages ago. I wear out keyboards, and once I used a 5-button, there was no going 'back.'
    New Boot Camp? other than 3.1?

  • MacBook Pro Random Alert Pluck Sound

    Was researching as I kept hearing what sounded like a guitar pluck sound randomly with my new MacBook Pro. I found a post on the support forums with the same questions but couldn't answer there so I'm posting a new message to inform those that are being driven crazy by this sound.
    Microsoft Entourage appears to play this sound when it checks mail and there is "No New Mail" which means you might hear it every 5 minutes or every hour depending on your settings and how many accounts it checks.
    You can go into the Preferences>>General Preferences>>Notifications to turn off the alert sounds. Not sure why anybody needs an alert that they have no mail except to drive them absolutely crazy.
    Hope this helps somebody. I can now work in peace.

  • Using a PCI-6534 card, how does one write and read from the board simultaneously after being triggered on the StartTrig input ?

    I've copied two NI-developed VI's into a single VI. The first VI is the LV 'Buffered Pattern Input-Trig VI' under examples/daq/digital/653x. Using an external data generator, I send it a pulse on StartTrig, a clock on REQ1 and data on DIOA0. The start pulse is negative going so I set the front panel input to trigger on "falling edge" with clock set to 'external'. This VI is configured as Port 0 and Group 0. Once this VI is triggered I need to then start another VI which is simply the Buffered Pattern Output VI that also ships with LV. This VI is configured on Port 2, Group 1. This VI is used to simply send out a previously d
    efined array of data on DIO C0, C1 and C2.
    So, I receive a Start Trig, then clock in data, and then immediatly want to send out data. My problem is that I can't figure out when my receiving VI gets triggered on the StartTrig input. If I know when the trigger occurs, then I can wire this condition to a case statement and activate the second, or write VI. Without having the Trigger condition be met to enable the output VI, the problem is that it always outputs without even be triggered. So, where or how do I tap to find out when the StartTrig happens ? In other words, how do I know when the receiving VI has received a StartTrig pulse. There's got to be a way to do this, and I need to run in continious mode, so I can keep receiving and sending out data over and over again. Any ideas ? If your answer is to look at the examples, please tell me exact and specific examples, because I have not been able to find any examples directly related to my goal. thanks.
    Kirk

    Nestor-
    I tried your first suggestion of connecting ACK1 to ACK2. But, I get Error 10010 at Digital Buffer Control when I run the VI. I've added an array of 32 ones and zeros to the output VI so that I have some data to write. What's really interesting is when I have a scope probe on ACK1 and ACK2 which are now common, the voltage level is less than 5 volts, around 4.7, but there is something wrong with the signal, a few spikes, I've seen this before, like 2 signals are trying to drive the same output or something. When I remove the connection between ACK1 and ACK2 the signal looks perfect since ACK1 is being driven by my data generator. This leads me to believe that you can't connect ACK1 to ACK2, or atleast you can't do it with the way I have the VI'
    s configured. Also, I have a scope probe monitoring DIOC0 (since I'm writing to Port 2,which is Port C) and I don't see any data coming out, which makes sense since I get the error mentioned above.
    In terms of my configuration, I have 2 VI's on the block diagram. I have Buffered Pattern Input-Trig.VI with the following settings:
    Group: 0
    Device: 1
    Port List: 0
    Buffer Size: 1000
    Clk Soruce: External
    Trigger Type: Start Trigger
    Trigger Condition: Trigger off Falling Edge
    # of pretrigger points: 0
    For the 'writing VI' I copied the Buffered Pattern output-Trig.VI with the following setup:
    Device: 1
    Group: 1
    Port List: 2
    #of updates: 1000
    Clock Source: Internal
    Trigger Condition: Trigger on falling edge
    So, do you have any ideas on what might be wrong ? Just realized that I can attach files, so my VI is attached.
    thanks.
