Pre-Snow Leopard, I could use the following command:
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow Finder /Applications/My-replacement-app-such-as-Terminal.app
Which would a.) replace the Finder launching at login with an application of my choice, and b.) cause that application to launch instead of Finder when all other applications are quit.
Is it possible to do this in Snow Leopard, or has this behavior been deprecated? (I don't want to disable Finder altogether, I just don't want it to start at login.)
I have a newbie security related question.
Should port 25 (smtp) be blocked by firewall on my server?
Or will doing so mean that i cannot send any mail at all?
I've been trying to setup email forwarding through fetchmail from remote smtp server to Gmail account, although messages are constantly coming to my local address and accessible via "mail" command. SMTP connection works perfectly, but emails do not go anywhere.
System: debian, fetchmail
Config: poll smtp.server protocol imap username “user” password “pass” smtpname “[email protected]” ssl
Thank you!
I have setup postfix to send outgoing mail, It works fine for most of the cases except for some e.g duke.alumni.edu where it gives me a 450 error, even though the email address is valid.
This is the exact error I get
Sender address rejected: Domain not found (in reply to RCPT TO command))
Any suggestions on how I can rectify this?
When I save the source of this page of a Russian website:
http://www.mail.ru/
as a .txt file, all Russian letters turn into Chinese characters (I am working on a Chinese computer at the moment), but when I save another page of another Russian website:
http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=/usr/local/share/starling/morpho&morpho=0&basename=\usr\local\share\starling\morpho\ozhegov\ozhegov&first=4001
also as a .txt file, all Russian letters are saved in it as the are.
Why is it so?
Hi all
iMac 24" Late 2006 Mac OS X (10.6.3)
I'm trying to install Bootcamp. I've partitioned my HD but when I reboot with the Windows installation disk I get a black (blank) screen.
The advice from the Apple Support website is to install the MXM Update but when I run that as per the instructions I get this error:
An unexpected error occurred (11.1). Your firmware cannot be updated.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Thanks.
I recently made the mistake of leaving my brand-new iPad on my kitchen counter... and my wife dropped home-made peanut butter on it. Does Apple cover this type of damage?

Im having trouble installing SMTH Auth for my ubuntu email server. I have followed ubuntu own guide for SMTH AUT (https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/postfix.html).
But my email client thunderbird is giving this error " lost connection to SMTP-client 127.0.0.1." I cant add new users to thundbird either because of this connection problem. Do i have to alter any setting on my Thunderbird perhaps since ? I did try to make thunderbird use SSL for imap as well but that neither works.
I restarted postfix and dovecot to find errors but both run just fine.
Prior to SMTP auth changes thunderbird could connect just fine to my server and send mails.
This is my main.cf file in postfix.
It looks just like the one on ubuntu guide above.

I am looking to release and renew my IP address in OS X 10.4 using Terminal. Essentially, I need the OS X equivalent of Windows:
C:\ ipconfig /release
C:\ ipconfig /renew
However, I need the interface to remain active during this process, so using ifconfig down/up will not work. I believe I can clear the IP with ifconfig delete but I'm not sure how to get the dhcp client to reassign the address. An article from 2002 suggests using set dhcp but Apple's ifconfig man page does not include this information.
Hi there,
I am using outlook 2007, and I have configured the bugger to retrieve emails from
a 1&1 web mail address.
It gets all emails from the remote in-box folder but,
if one happen to have fallen into the remote spam folder,
I never receive it, in outlook!
Is there an easy way out for this one ?
Thanks!
I have configured and tested the database mail. That all works.
I configured SQL Server agent to use the profile I created.
I restarted SQL Server agent.
When I configure the job and go to notifications and check email the drop down is still blank.
What am I missing?
I have a MacBook (Late '08 13 In. Aluminum) with the Apple provided power adapter. I think it may be failing because
It takes a little moving around with the cable nearest where it connects to the MacBook to get it to charge (small light turns on).
The area of cable nearest the MacBook gets very hot, almost burning.
Any ideas of how I could fix it? Hopefully without replacing the adapter.
Thanks in advance!
An old junk mail filter program I used to use created a junk email folder. When I moved from Outlook 2003 to 2007, Outlook created a new folder called Junk Email1. Now, after our move to a new Exchange server, I now have a "Junk Email" folder and the existing "Junk Email1" folder. Is there a way to change the default Outlook Junk Email folder back to "Junk Email"?
Hi,
I've a Virtual Private Server with Windows 2003 and root access. This server mainly acts as a web hosting machine (IIS, Apache). Additionally it is used as a mail server.
Is it possible to isolate a mailserver (for example HMailServer) by using VMware Server on Windows 2003 in order to avoid potential viruses moving from the guest into the host system?
Is this is a good direction to protect the web server from viruses?
Kind regards,
Jakub
XP is my host. Ubuntu is my Guest in VMware.
When I do the following commands, I should get SMTP respones but now get no response.
I use wireshark to analayze it. Also in wireshark shows nothing.

I'm using MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009).
Can I use this MacBook Pro with a 30 inch display? If yes, which monitor supports it? If I'm current, Apple's 30 inch display doesn't support 13-inch MacBook Pro's.
Ive have the Nokia N900 mobile phone (running Maemo linux), and my device is really slow while using the wifi and trying to get stuff online (checking mail, loading pages). The webbrowsers itself (MicroB, Firefox, Opera) starts fast.
Yesterday ive tried to set the dns to googles but that did not solve the case.
Is there, and how do i check/verify my connection to the internet if im connected to my home wifi in linux? (tools, other then ping :D)
I have migrated about 45 mailboxes at this point from our single instance of Exchange 2003 to a High Availability Exchange 2010 environment successfully. However one mailbox moved successfully and the user is able to send and receive e-mail internally and externally with no problems but they do not show up in the Global Address List. The OAB is owned by an Exchange 2010 mailbox server. What am I missing?
I ran into some problems with my iPod, and am trying to restore a backup following this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
I tried following the section under "Restoring your iPhone or iPod touch". When it gets to step 9, it simply doesn't show up - the restore happens, the iPod restarts, but I DO NOT get an option to set it up as a new device, or restore a backup. A backup does exist (checked the location).
Any ideas on how I can restore the backup?
On Windows 7, I have (unfortunately) installed Apple Quicktime.
And it seems to have decided that it's the choosen one for displaying .png files in IE (when clicking on .png links)
I have, however, not QuickTime as the associated program for .png extensions in the Default Programs control applet in Windows 7.
How do I remove QucikTime as the prefered .png viewer?
I can not run the Terminal.app after rolling back my system from time machine.
Mac OS X Version 10.6.2
It displays the following error.
"Your are not authorized to run this application"
"The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value"
After that I have deleted the file
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist
But the same message is displayed.
I have repaired all system rights with the DiskUtility but that did not help.
I have been looking in using OTRS - ITSM to manage all of our services but wanted to know if any software existed that is not built into a ticket system?
Pretty much want to add all services and tie them to an SLA. Once that is done, we would manually declare incidents and the system would automatically send our notificaton to the proper e-mail lists for downtime/planned maintenance.
Would be nice if it calculates reports for SLAs etc.
thanks
I have an rarely used /etc/aliases entry
vmailusers: :include:/usr/local/etc/vmailusers
The /usr/local/etc/vmailusers file is generated by a cronjob executing
ls /home/vmail | grep -v lists > /usr/locale/etc/vmailusers
chmod 0640 /usr/local/etc/vmailusers
chmod mailnull:mail /usr/local/etc/vmailusers
Is there a way to avoid having to run a cron job but rather execute the ls command in the very moment the vmailusers alias is used?
Preferably natively (Exchange mode), so that my calendar, etc, all sync up properly. It was working fine under our old version of Exchange (2007?), but broke with the upgrade to Exchange 2010. Done the usual remove the account, re-add, etc. Prefer not to drop down to IMAP mode for mail only.
