Questions on pipe channel and e-mail processing
Hi There,
We currently have a sendmail (on Solaris) based system that we use for our primary MTA. Our iMS5.2 (on Solaris 8) is used for message storage. We will want to migrate our sendmail system to the Iplanet MTA. However, I need some ideas on how to handle one of our scenarios: We have numerous sendmail aliases that pipe the message through a script. That script will then send a notification message to a group of users and then archive the E-mail into a directory.
I've looked at the docs regarding the "pipe" channel. It looks like I could define a bogus "alias-pipe" user and use the mailAlternateAddress field to define my various alias destinations. Then the script could just "switch" on the destination user to perform whatever actions are necessary. Everything I've read seems to indicate that processing e-mail through a program requires defining a user and that user then specifies the method to use. That requires "registering" the method using the "imsimta program" mechanism. I'd like to minimize the amount of work involved with updating and adding new alias programs. Does the above solution make sense, or am I headed down a deadend? Is there a better way to do this?
If I were to use the MTA's aliases file, could I send directly to the pipe channel?
Thanks for your input,
Roger S.
Roger-
We are in exactly the same boat as you. Migrating from sendmail (AIX) to iMS 5.2 on Solaris. Everything is done except for trying to figure out how to handle the old sendmail aliases file. All indication are that the aliase would optimally reside in the LDAP. I'm looking into the unix2ldif utility to see if I can figure out some way of getting it to work. We have hundreds (literally) of aliases that need to be incorporated into our iMS environment. Currently iMS is our primary server running a SmarHost to our old sendmail box for the sole purpose of maintaining the aliases file. I'm anxious to get moved off of the old beast. I would be very interested to hear any solution you come up with. I have been dissapointed in the iMS documentation in the regard.

Basic questions re zip, compression, and e-mailing large attachments
Hi, I have never really understood what is meant by "zip" and compressing a file.
I believe these things make it possible to make a file smaller for sending via e-mail, and then when the person at the other end opens up the attachment, it returns to its full size in all its glory.
Is this true?
Reason I ask is that I have a couple of .mov files that I want to send as attachments to a friend, but they are both mammoth in size--1 gig each.
I know it's probably a lost cause, but can compressing and zip help me out here? Thanks for your patient replies.Yes, that's right. Read this to see how. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8726.html. You'll have to experiment to see if you save enough space to send by email. Different Internet providers have different max file limits. Just try a test email attachment. Your sig says 10.5.8 and the article is for 10.6 but hopefully it is the same.

Pipes (Input- and Output-streams) to a Process are not closed
Hello experts!
I have a long-living server-process that opens external programs with
Runtime.getRuntime().exec() all the time. For communication with one
of the external program I use stdin and stdout. I close all streams in
finally-blocks, so there should not be any open stream.
The problem is, that most of the time the used streams are closed
correctly. But sometimes some of them left open. I check that with
the linux command-line tool lsof. So over time the number of open
pipes increases and eat up all file-handles till an IOException (too
many open files) is thrown.
If I watch the -verbosegc output, I see that most of the open pipes
are cleaned up after a GC-run. But over time - not all.
I start the external program in a thread, what could explain that
it happens only sometimes.
I'm hunting this bug now for quite a long time. Are there any known
problems with using pipes to/from other processes (under linux?)
thanks
lukasHi!
Now I did some heavy logging and I saw that the remaining pipes are the ones I DON'T
open to read or write! No joke! For example - for one process I don't read or write any of
stdin,stdout,stderr - then in one of X executions all three pipes are left open (shown by
lsof for the java-process, after many GC-runs).
To test it I read the stdin of this process - then this stream was closed in the error case,
but stdout and stderr are still open. This is really strange!
anybody seen this before?

I have 2 questions regarding the iphone 5. 1 How do i get my yahoo mail set up. I tried the setting it up as both a yahoo mail and other mail. 2. I seem to have lost my notes on my iphone 5 but I have them on my ipad. How can I use cloud to sync my notes?
I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone. -

This is a user to user forum, this is spelled out in the terms of service you agreed to when you joined.
There is no Apple server for your email.
servers are set up, used and maintained by whatever email service you use-such as rediffmail.
Go threaten them. -

SGE2010 port-channel and trunking config question
I have port-channels configured and working for the native VLAN on multiple SGE2010s. I now want to add multiple VLANs and enable trunking for the port-channel. I am not clear on the appropriate way to enable trunking as it can be enabled on the port and on the port-channel. The ports and port-channel are currently in access mode. If anyone can provide the correct configuration, I would appreciate the guidance. I also need to get the port-channels and trunking working with 3Com 4500 & 4200s. If you know of any configuration issues, again any guidance would be appreciated
Hi Jacqueline,
Sorry Juans answer needs some correction, but I am grateful for Juans participation.
The SGE2010 does not support a CLI.
There is a unsupported CLI, that someone plastered somehwere on this community, but i must admit i still like to use the GUI.
The software on the SGE2XXX was recently updated so you can find that on the cisco.com website.
I have created a link below to a recording i just made, regarding Link aggregation on the SGE2XXXX, i thnk if you see the 11 minute recording a couple of times, maybe pause it, play with your switch, it will start to make sense.
you can't breat the switch by configuring it

Mail deleted account lost inbox and sent mail
I was editing an account with on IT(not a MAC user) person yesterday to check my work mail from a diferent server. In the process my old work account got deleted so I lost all of my incoming and sent mail from the account that was deleted.
After that happened I started reading info on mail accounts and it says that will happen.
The question is is there any way to recover those email? I purchased Prosoft data recovery II today and have been looking thru recovered files but can not find what I am looking for.Since you’ve already read other threads on this subject, I’ll spare you the details.
If the messages are not on the server, and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. -
Now with iCloud mail, do I delete my Mac and Me Mail accounts on my devices?
My computer and Iphone had email accounts for Mac mail and Mobileme (I think they are duplicates when mac changed to me and I just left them).
Now with Icloud uploaded and configured for all my devices, it appears that both accounts are there but one appears never to be connected and they both quite often ask for my password in that pop up window. So my questions are.
1. Can I eliminate (delete) one from my Mac Laptops? Which one if the answer is yes.
2. On my Iphone: there is only an Icloud and Mac mail accounts (mobileme never came over). Should I keep both?
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated as its a bit confusing as to how it all ties together.
SkipiCloud uses your mac mail account. If you haven't already done so, here is the sequence to follow:
1. If you have a Mac, upgrade it to 10.7.2.
2. Upgrade any iDevices to 10.5
3. Go to iCloud.com and follow the process to transfer your mail account to iCloud.
It sounds like you've done most of that. The rejected password issue is due to the fact that iCloud is experiencing some intermittant growing pains problems. It kind of comes and goes. If you've managed to connect once, your solid. Just be a little patient as the iCloud mail service usually comes back fairly quickly.
