HELP! empty option value on line 19 of configuration file

We have been attacked by spammers again at our server. As a result, only the Outgoing SMTP service is on in the SA-Mail-Overview tab, although in the Settings-General tab POP, IMAP and SMTP are enabled.
In the POP and IMAP logs, it shows "empty option value on line 19 of configuration file". Does it refer to main.cf? Line 19 in main.cf has no parameters to be specified...
Also, I find very weird that if I use postfix stop, then it stops but suddenly starts again. Can it be the mail queue manager? I'm starting to think someone has hacked our server.
I only have angry clients now with no connection. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Here goes our postconf.

  • "empty option value"?

    hello,
    after already a while now, our Mac running 10.4 was shutdown due to voltage problems in the building.
    after starting up, we wanted to continue our work as usually,
    but uhh..... Mac didn't want to do so.
    I have absolutely no idea what happened, but our mail refuses to work.
    Server Admin says SMTP is working,
    but POP and IMAP are always disabled.
    log shows the following error:

    any suggestions/help greatly appreciated,
    thanks in advance

    after some research and a lucky finding,

    too bad server admin seems to do an awful job.
    neither did it reference to the correct file that was missing an entry,

    the file/line missing an entry was

    and no, it's not 10.3 server admin, lol
    i hope no1 else will ever encounter this problem,
    if any1 does tho, may this article help.

  • How to create a configuration file for open ldap.

    hi,
    I have installed open ldap on my machine. Now I want to configure it to NetWeaver.
    For this, I started configuration through configtool utility of NetWeaver. While configuring, we need to select or upload configuration file. But now as it is open ldap we need to write our own config file.
    I tried it by selecting dataSourceConfiguration_ads_deep_readonly_db.xml  as a configuratio file. it shows successful test connection but the user which  I have created is not appearing in UME store.
    Does any body having solution for this?
    I am trying to solve this problem from two days. I really appriciate one who will sove this problem

    Well the configuration file you chose does not allow users created in NetWeaver to be created in the LDAP.  That's why it's a "readonly" configuration.  I would guess that you need a custom configuration file specifically for open ldap.
    This should help get you started on a custom configuration file:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b7/14d43f2dd44821e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    Then again, if the only problem with the .XML file you chose is that you can't write to the LDAP, give the dataSourceConfiguration_ads_writeable_db.xml configuration file a shot.

  • Modifying the configuration files in OBIEE 11g

    Hi
    We are facing an error when we tried to to add "<DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>" tag in the instanceconfig.xml manually and restart the presentation services of OBIEE 11g .
    I had come across few suggestions that, configuration files in OBIEE 11g cannot be modified manually. I am doubtful on these suggestions . So please, let me know for sure wether we can modify the configuration files in OBIEE 11g manually or not.
    It will be very helpful if the process to modify the configuration files in OBIEE 11g is shared with us.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I could not tell you whether the; <DashboardMaxBeforeMenu>10</DashboardMaxBeforeMenu> still works in 11g.
    What I do know is that you could manually edit the configuration files. The only thing is when you modify this file via the Enterprise Manager, your customizations get lost. You have to manually add them again.

  • Single XML configuration file for all the SSIS packages(including parent and child packages)

    Hi
    I have some 16 ssis packages. source Db and destination Db for these packages are common. I am calling these child packages in a master package.
    I want to use only one XML config file for this master.
    How do i use same for all child packages?
    and can i do it with parent package variable?

    I created a master package with a variable master, and in value i have entered the configuration file path.
    Hi vjp dinu,
    You should create variables in the parent package to pass values to variables in each child package rather than pass the file path of the XML Configurations file of the parent package.
    As Visakh mentioned, you can achieve your goal by creating corresponding variables in the parent package for each child package, and enable Package Configurations for the parent package so that you can control the values through the XML Configurations file
    for the variables of the parent package.
    Supposing there is a variable FilePath in child package 1, a variable ServerName in child package 2, then, we need to create two variables pFilePath, pServerName in the parent package. After configuring the Parent package variable in each child package (e.g.
    mapping pFilePath to FilePath, pServerName to ServerName), you can enable XML Configurations for the parent package, and expose the value property for both pFilePath and pServerName variables. In this way, you can modify the XML Configurations file of the
    parent package and the specified values will passed to the child packages.

  • Getting option value in jsp: Urgent help will be appreciated

    Hello All,
    I am working on JSP. I will grade myself as beginner in JSP.
    I am trying to solve since last 2 days, I just want to display the value of option tag, and not able to get it.
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <html:select name="ActionForm" property="overage">
    <%
    int i;
    int[] arr1=new int[200];
    for (i=0;i<=100;i=i+10)
    arr1=i;
    %>
    <html:option value="/<%=i%>/"><%= arr1%></html:option>
    <%}%>
    </html:select>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    Please, ignore the syntactical error.
    Now in above code I want to know what is being put up as value of option tag. By value I mean , I want see <html:option ]value="/<%=i%>/> . (Data marked in bold)
    Your help will be appreciated. I tried couple of things such as getParameter(), get Attribute(), getOverage(). Some of it gave me value as "//", it skips the i variable.
    I want to see what is being put up in value for every iteration of loop

    Yeah I know. But thnx for the response.
    I also got that error solved. you know what it was because of those bckslashes. i wrote it,
    <html:option value="<%=i%>"><%=arr%> instead of
    <html:option value="/<%=i%>/"><%=arr[i]%>
    and that worked perfectly. I wish I could have known this before. It would have saved me lot of time.

  • How to process option value to database, plz help me out

    hi guys,
    can any one help me out in passing the option value to database.
    i have a 4 options, when any option selected, that should be processed to the database
    <form name="createfrm">
    <select name="select">
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
    <option value="4">4</option>
    </select>
    plz., can any one help me out by giving me the javascript code

    here's the part of the code:
    In th javascript this is the one that populates the array gender[].
    gender1[] array is where i put the values from the database so it is part of the jsp code. You will store what you fetch in gender1[] array.
    Then you store it in another array in javascript using the follwing codes:
    var gender = new Array(
    <%
    out.println("\""+gender1[0]+"\"");
    for(int ip = 1; ip < 3; ip++) {out.println(", \"" + gender1[ip] + "\"");}
    %>
    Now for populating the values of the dropdown list You will use the following codes:
    function fillGenCivil(){
    for (var jj=0; jj<3; jj++){
                                       document.registration1.gender.length++;
                                       document.registration1.gender.options[counta].value = gender[counta];
                                       document.registration1.gender.options[counta].text = gender[counta];
                                       counta++;
    the in the html tags: the form code will be like this
    <select name="gender" class="txtMed" > </select>
    These codes will automatically populate data in your dropdown list

    Hi Avina,
    You need to invoke a method from your jsp file which interacts with the database. If you are following the MVC pattern which segregates the View and Contoller part, invoke the controller jsp from your View using the include tag.
    Say this is the View.jsp
    // all your initial page include statements --
    <%
    // all your java code (if necessary)
    %>
    <jsp:include page="Controller.jsp" >
    <jsp:param name="command" value="getOptionList"/>
    </jsp:include>
    <!-- all your html tags -->
    // If you are following my technique, there should be a Controller.jsp which interacts with your database thru some class which you instantiate in this jsp, which invokes some method (that is why i have passed a parameter, so that if u want to make a check you can do so - u may or may not pass the parameters - based on ur requirements).
    Code in Controller.jsp:
    <%
    // MyClass is the class which does the querying into the database.
    // obj.getOptions() is a method in that class which returns a Vector
    // containing all the options from your database.
    // Please ensure that you import the package in this jsp file, so as
    // to get the MyClass.class in this jsp.
    String getWhat = request.getParameter("command");
    if ( getWhat != null && getWhat.equalsIgnoreCase("command") ) {
    MyClass obj = new MyClass();
    java.util.Vector optionsAvailable = obj.getOptions();
    session.setAttribute("Options", optionsAvailable);
    %>
    -------------- End of Controller.jsp related work ---------------
    // Returning back to the code in the View.jsp:
    Once the including is over, the control will return to the next line of code in View.jsp. Just retrieve the data from the session:
    Continued - View.jsp
    <select name="itemsInDB">
    <option value="Select"> Select </option>
    <%
    /* Now you have a vector containing all the options from
    your database. */
    java.util.Vector vecOptions = (java.util.Vector)
    session.getAttribute("Options");
    for (int i=0; i<vecOptions.size(); i++) {
    %>
    <option value="<%=vecOptions.elementAt(i)%>"><%=vecOptions.elementAt(i)%></option>
    <%
    %>
    </select>
    Well thats all thats required. Your problem is solved. You will get a list of all the options in your database. Happy Coding

  • Read and write Values from Configuration File in BizTalk

    There is a requirement where Biz talk orchestration read the value dynamically from Config Store.After some process updating the value in config store.
    I though to use SQL Server and create one table with single column.Biztalk will call the Storeproc to get the value and similary for update system will call another SP.
    Instead of using SQL Server DB is there option to implement this requirement like app.config,BTSsvcxxexe.config ,SSO Config store etc.
    If multi-users access the value from Config store and try to update ,how to handle lock mechanism.

    Hi BizQ,
    Refrain from using BTSConfig file or any custom config file if you have a requirement to update the data. Modifying a
    configuration file at runtime can cause some nasty, unexpected behavior inside your application if it's not managed properly.
    I would suggest you to use Custom DB or SSO Database in this case.
    Both have their Pros and Cons.
    SSO Database:
    You get out of the box encryption
    It is a central store which will service all BizTalk servers within your group
     SSO implements a caching mechanism internally for the data
    Custom DB:
    By storing the configuration in the database you don’t have to worry about consistency of data across servers like you would with a config file.
    Cache needs to be implemented by program to avoid delays in reading from physical file.
    In your case I recommend to go with SSO DB as in terms of storing custom configuration data in SSO for End Point/Application
    specific information and credentials and potentially configuration information which you also need to write and update at runtime from your code or via an administrator.
    You can use Richard Seroter's tool to store values as "Config Store" in SSO database and then write a .net helper
    utility to retrieve it using SSOConfigStore class. It has method GetConfigInfo and you need to pass application name with other parameters. It returns ConfigurationPropertyBag from where you can read property name and values.

  • SPA122 - How to turn off "DHCP Option To Use" in the Provisioning tab using the XML configuration file?

    As default, SPA122 and SPA112 have DHCP Options 66, 160, 159 and 150 turned on.
    Our pre-provisioning process includes adding our default profile rule to our provisioning server for the device to pull its configuration files once the device has been added to an account.
    However, it seems like some customers have had problems with the device downloading the definite configuration file and manually turning off option Option 66 in the provisioning tab in the device solves this issue.
    Is there any option we could add to our pre-provisioning file so that it removes 66 from the "DHCP Option to Use" field in the provisioning tab?
    Please advise...

    Thanks Dan,
    I didn't know the dhcp server could serve different options to different classes of clients, I'll have to look that up!
    Moises
    so if your provisioning file has this line below (this is from a spa5xx config I had in my temp folder, so use the line from your provisioning file, or use the SPC tool to create a new default config for that device type)

  • Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

    Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
    I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
    What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
