General :: Setting Up Getmail With Alpine?
Sep 12, 2010
I'm trying to set up Getmail with Alpine. This is because I have a pop mail account, and I want to be able to recieve and reply to mail without beeing online.
My question is what to type under the [destination] paragraph. I don't know what type mailbox Alpine uses and where the INBOX is located, that is where Getmail should deliver the mail?

I have a mail-account, which is checked every 10. Minute for new mails (via getmail), printed(via cups/lpr) and the file is deleted if successful.
My problem is that I dont want to print the texthtml, but what it looks like when rendered.
What is the best way of doing this ? html2ps or ?
Is it also possible to print the attachments( PDF) inside the mail, this way ?

In my gmail a/c I have severel folders.....each with different label.while I configured alpine, I give the path as directed in several know-how in internet and only INBOX is there, with sent mail and saved mails.....no other folders.
Quote:
# Over-rides your full name from Unix password file. Required for PC-Alpine.
personal-name=
# Sets domain part of From: and local addresses in outgoing mail.
user-domain=gmail.com
# List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Alpine uses sendmail.
smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com:587/tls
code....

I have a system running at home that uses Getmail to retrieve mail from my ISP's pop server. Dovecot then offers that mail over IMAPs to my desktops running Thunderbird.
The reason I have resorted to using Getmail is because I don't have a static IP (from my ISP) for my server, and thus this server doesn't act as an MX.
I have implemented Spamassassin in my Getmail script as described here.
From further research, I understand that in order to fully utilize Spamassassin 's potential, I have to resort to training it with SA learn.
Currently I still receive spam messages, but 50% of spam is marked as ****SPAM****, and the other half is not marked at all.
My question is this:
1) How do I get getmail to move messages marked as spam by spamassasin to be moved to a JUNK folder within my mailbox automatically?
2) I thought of creating a folder where my users can move messages they deem to be spam, and set up a crontab script to invoke salearn regularly on this folder to get the bayes engine to learn from it. Is this the correct way of doing it?

i've set up a little mail server ob my private server, using getmail to get the mails from different pop accounts and to send it to maildirs of some virtual users, and i use dovecot as imap server to provide the mails to my clients which are mostly outook 2007. i run getmail as a cronjob which fetches my mails every 2 minutes, anyhow i'd like to run it on demand when a client pushes the send/receive button. is there a way to tell dovecot to run getmail on demand?

how to retrieve hotmail using Alpine? I can get gmail using the IMAP feature and having the Gmail certificates but I'l like to be able to get my hotmail without opening a web browser. I have one friend with whom I communicate via Pidgin/MSN messenger, that's why I opened the hotmail account - and sometimes she sends me an email to hotmail because that's her primary email service.

For the last week alpine has been refusing to load a remote config files using the command
alpine -z -p {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=username@gmail.com}remote_pinercit just ignores the -p flagbut will work if alpinef is used (alpinef calls alpine set to use function keys for issuing commands).

I just configured alpine to read newsgroups, and I subscribed to comp.lang.c. Upon opening the folder, alpine downloaded 89,463 messages and it seems like I have no control over this. Does anyone know of a maximum header download option in alpine?

This is a simple question, but I cannot find the option: how do I set signatures to always appear at the very bottom of the message (i.e. with replies it appears above the other replies) automatically? This is on Alpine 2.

we had a server with Hostway, and it was running ubuntu. The server also had Plesk installed, which did some funny things. We had several websites on that server, and many email addresses. Then we changed servers. Now we have a server through Rackspace and it is also running Ubuntu. It also has Virtualmin installed, which generally does not impose as many unconventional changes on Ubuntu as Plesk did.
Rather than using Thunderbird to download my email (which is what I used to do) I've decided I'll start reading my email on the server. So I will ssh to the server and then use some email client, such as Alpine, to read the email. So I installed Alpine. I have an email account for "lawrence". The email address is lawrence @ krubner. Currently, when mail arrives for that account, it is stored here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it is transferred to hear:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
When I start Alpine, while logged in as lawrence, Alpine automatically sets up an inbox for me here:
/home/lawrence/mail/
How do I get Alpine (or any other client) to read from the correct folder? I'm fairly sure the email package (the MTA) at work on this new server is Postfix. As near as I can tell, my email is held for 24 hours in this folder:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/new
and then it gets transferred here:
/home/krubner/homes/lawrence/Maildir/cur
Alpine only lets me set one path for my Inbox, so I'm not sure what path I should set. If I use "cur" I will see all email 1 day late, but if I use "new" then I will miss email if I go a day without checking.

I'm trying to script the spawning of GNU/screen windows by using commands of the form screen <CMD>.
For some reason when I start GNU/screen (by hand), the shell that it starts in window 0 (/bin/bash) does not contain a $STY environment variable. Without this commands like screen vim start a nested screen session, not another window as I want.
My environment is somewhat unusual. Here's how I end up in it:
ssh robm@somehost
sudo su sharedaccount
script /dev/null
screen
The script /dev/null step exists because the TTY device allocated for the robm user cannot be accessed by the sharedaccount user. The script command allocates a new TTY that is owned by the user that invoked it, solving that problem.
If I skip the sudo and script steps, GNU/screen sets $STY just fine. In other words this works just fine:
ssh robm@somehost
screen
Presumably something about sudo and script interferes with screen

I work in a small research lab in my college and we work on Windows. I am planning to switch all the computers into Linux create a network.
This is a small job in the first step. I need to hook up 3 computers together such that they all communicate with a central computer (server). The users will have to log on to their accounts and run their work from the central server, be able to run applications (vlsi, CAD) stuff from the server. I (as root) should be able to take backups (using crontab I guess) and be able to create new users, administer.
Can anyone direct me to a manual or a website or a previous post that goes through these steps. I searched the forums and was lost in my effort
I only have used Linux on a standalone PC and have never networked before.

Basically the computer will have to do nothing other than run some custom software that interfaces with the vehicle's systems via a USB FDTI board and render to an 8" touch screen via OpenGL. User input will be via the said touchscreen, and audio output will eventually come into the equation. The target vehicle(s) will be extensively modified for the project, and I'm hoping the software will eventually override features such as the immobiliser, so an extremely fast boot time will be essential.
I have one of those Via C7 fully integrated mini ITX motherboards, much of the onboard hardware will be useless besides two USB ports and a SATA port, so could be completely removed from the kernel if necessary to achieve a fast boot. If some BIOS hacking is required I'd happily look at that too. I'm a recently graduated software engineer, and can comfortably use Linux (I'm using openSUSE for developing the software) but don't have a clue where to start with the OS; if I should be downloading and modifying an existing distro or trying to build one from scratch somehow?

I'm booting DSL off of a USB key on a used laptop I just got. wireless, starting with what the wireless card is, then which driver is needed, and then I think I can use ndiswrapper to install the driver and go from there. I was told to do 'lspci -knn' (not all because I'm retyping the output on my computer that has internet working)
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller hub [8086:27a0] (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express PCI Express Root Port [8086:27a1] (rev 03)
[Code]....
(I left out a lot, let me know if the results of any of these might help: Audio Device, USB Controller, ISA bridge, IDE interface, SMBus, VGA compatible controller, Firewire)

I have CentOS installed on my laptop. I hooked up my TV via VGA and it works, just not as I'd like it to. The left side (on the tv) is cut off, like the image is justified too far left. I want it to be centered, but I also want to use a different resolution. You see, I use a netbook, and thus my laptop screen is tiny, meaning some things cant fit in the same window without scrolling. I want my TV to fix that for me.

I have installed Debian on my computer but am having trouble setting up my wireless Internet. Under my network settings there's only one connection: Ethernet. how to create a new (wireless) connection.
Another thing is that I can't seem to open .deb files. The archive manager says that it's not supported. But I can't seem to find the dselect to open those files either.
One more question: how can I enter commands through the promp(t)? I've read all over the Internet that I can enter in commands, but I haven't found where or how.

I'm thinking of setting up my own sms gateway using my own linux server and regular old nokia phone, along the lines of what is described here [URL]
I was wondering if anyone out there has been down this road before, and in particular knows about approximately how many messages could be sent/received per minute? In the application I have in mind (an instantaneous online survey from an audience of hundreds) I would need to be receiving hundreds of sms texts in around a minute. I was wondering if that was pushing it in terms of the capabilities of an old phone.

setuid bit allows the process to execute the file with the uid of the file. But, what is the purpose of setting setuid without execute bit? The man page tells that if a file is setuid without execute flag, the permission will be displayed as 'S' (capital s) in ls command. Why should anyone set the setuid without execute flag? Does setting setuid without execute flag have any special meaning?

I am installing Ubuntu server 10.10 onto a machine with a 1 tb Hard drive. I have had a host of other problems installing but that is for another thread. My question here is that it takes so long to format such a big drive, and I have heard and read that LVM starts with a small partition and expands it as more room is needed. So the installer crashed and started over so this time I decided to choose 'Guided - Use entire disk and set up LVM' instead of just 'Guided - Use Entire Disk'. So it is asking me to set the size of the LVM Volume. Am I setting the size of the initial volume? or am I setting the max size the volume can expand to?
