Its no problem getting the script to send mail to regular mail addresses, but it doesnt seem to handle to send mail to mailing lists. Im using the Net::SMTP perl module.how to send mail from a perl script to a mailing list (and not just regular mail addresses) ?

I'm getting a lot of external spam sent to the lists and I figure this is the easiest way to deal with it. 100% security isn't even necessary if I can stop most of the spam (i.e. causing sendmail to discard any mail sent to the lists that don't originate with the same domain name as the server would kill 99% of the spam since most of it doesn't have a spoofed email matching our server's domain name). I'm using Debian Lenny.
My computer for a project I'm working on will be using Ubuntu with Perl and VLC from the repositories, if that matters at all. I'm not sure what I should/could use to accomplish this, but essentially I'm looking for Perl to be able to send predefined data via a serial connection based on the time within a song that VLC is playing.
A couple of the things that I've thought about after Googling a bit are SMPTE and subtitles/lyrics; I can't stop thinking that there's got so be a simple way that I'm just overlooking, though - most of the stuff I've found is for over-the-network applications, and that's overkill for this situation. All the subtitles/lyrics would have for text is hexadecimal values; all the SMPTE would do is keep Perl and VLC (playing audio) in-sync with each other. I would need either one or the other, but not both. Or, I could use something else...
I'm envisioning something like the setup below, I just don't know what else I need to make it happen.
Files:
song.mp3
timing.txt
script.pl
When I run "./script.pl song.mp3 timing.txt", VLC will open, and start playing "song.mp3", and the variable "$mils", for milliseconds elapsed, will be equal to zero. For each line in "timing.txt", the "script.pl" will assume the portion before an underscore is the "$time" for that line (time in milliseconds), and "script.pl" will assume that the portion after the underscore is the "$data", a three-byte hexadecimal value (such as "ff101f", or "011c00"), for that line.
I think that I will need to use two arrays, "@time" and "@data", such that the given line in "timing.txt" would read the same as printing: "$time[$line]".'_'."$data[$line]"."
" (if "$line" is the line number). My problem: jitter/stuttering playback. If VLC stumbles (which it sometimes does), and is a about half a second behind where it "should" be, but Perl didn't stumble, then I've got an out-of-sync issue.
Since Perl can't just count the time by itself to avoid synchronization issues, I've got two main ideas for getting this done: One way: Perl has to "read" where VLC is at, and use that as the "$mils" value. Then, if VLC delays/stubmles, so will Perl, but everything will still be in-sync. Alternative way: VLC has to "listen" to what Perl says "$mils" is at any given moment, essentially having Perl be in control of VLC's timing. This would make VLC "skip ahead" (to where it "should" be) if it starts to fall behind, thus keeping the two in sync.
I don't know which, if either, of these ways is best for my particular need. I would need "script.pl" to send "$data[$line]" over the serial connection when "$mils" == "$time[$line]". I already know how to send serial data from Perl, read files via Perl, and convert the hexadecimal number (if needed). I don't know how to "link" Perl and VLC so that they stay synchronized, and I am quite lost as to where to go from here.
I am searching for an open source list serve software to manage mailing lists. Does anyone know of something fairly easy to manage and reliable?

I have imported a csv address book into Evolution, which seemed to work, and I have composed a couple of emails to different people. Their email addresses seems to be entered, but when I send them, they are immediately kicked back telling me that the recipient is invalid. It provides their email and IP address, but tells me that they are invalid. I am receiving mail, so that is not a problem. I would reply to the mails I got to see what happens, but they are more or less spam. I'm pretty sure that I have the account configured correctly, but am at a loss.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two servers relavant here: mail.domain.com (1.1.1.1) - which is the nameserver and the mail server for domain.com. www.domain.com (2.2.2.2) - which is the www subdomain for domain.com domain.com (cname www.domain.com) - an alias for www.
The zone file for domain.com lists mail.domain.com as the MX server for domain.com. 2.2.2.2 is actually being served web pages as a virtual host. It's real hostname is www.anotherdomain.com. Mail for domain.com works pretty well, in general. However, if I attempt to send mail from www.domain.com (or its alias domain.com), I get "mail for domain.com loops back to myself" in the postfix logs. On 2.2.2.2 /etc/postfix/mail.cf has mydestination = www.anotherdomain.com, localhost. How do I tell postfix on 2.2.2.2 that mail for domain.com needs to be delivered to mail.domain.com?
I'm working on a Perl script that handles e-mails and attachments using MIME::Tools.
This script saves the attachments on filesystem, but whenever it finds an "&" (ampersand) into the filename (the filename is given by the "path" method of the "MIME::Body" class), it is changed into "%26" and then stored on disk.
To make an example, if an attachment is named "You & me.pdf", it is saved on disk as "You %26 me.pdf".
I also tried to change that char with a regexp and setting again the path passing the new (and working) value as a parameter to the "path" method, and if I print the value it is right, but on the filesystem is *always* stored with the "%26" string.
I'm simply just having trouble sending mail with postfix. I have all my hostnames, rdns setup properly. I also have iptables open on port 25.

I am very new to CentOS and running a server in general. I managed to get a server setup with CentOS, and it's running a wordpress driven social networking site. Everything is fine except sometimes my server won't send registration/activation emails to some email addresses. This is a huge problem because people signup but then can't activate their account. I don't understand why its sending some and not sending others based on the email domain? The guys at wordpress said "it's that your server does not support SMTP or at least wp_mail() in its normal form" but that doesn't mean much to me.
