Applications :: Kmail/Kontact - Recent Addresses To Contacts?
Oct 18, 2010I am using Kontact for mailing (with 'build-in' kmail), scheduling etc. I can fill a contact list manually in Kontact which is accessible when I am composing an email. Manually filling is quite time-consuming so I would like to know whether it is possible to one (or both) of the following things:
1) save your Kmail 'recent addresses' list to 'Contacts'
2) save emailadresses in incoming mail to 'Contacs'
[EDIT] I don't think it really matters but I am using OpenSUSE 11.1 at my office and Kubuntu 10.04 at home. My question is for both OSs
Ubuntu :: Kupfer & Default Email For Contacts In Evolution?
Jun 2, 2011I'm using kupfer 2.06, which is a tremendous little piece of software. The hitch is that when I use the evolution plugin to compose a new message, I'm only provided one email address per contact. I'm wondering if there's a way to designate a default or primary email address for each contact or some other way to influence this behavior. Not sure if the key to the issue lies with kupfer, its evolution plugin, or evolution.

General :: New Email Addresses Not Saved?
Dec 5, 2009I have my email on a separate partition so that my email doesn't get destroyed when I do new linux installs (I have emails from 5 years ago now). I also keep my sylpheed email addressbooks. This partition is writable by anybody and I have also made my user the owner of this partition during each linux install (media/email). When I set up sylpheed I tell it that my email is in /media/email and then it is able to write incoming messages to that location. The problem I am having is that I make symbolic links for my addressbooks from ~/.sylpheed* to /media/email using this:cd ~/.sylpheed*rm addrbook-000001.xmlln -s /media/email/addrbook-000001.xml addrbook-000001.xmlSylpheed finds my addressbook ok on my email partition but changes that symbolic link to a file on ~ when it writes new addresses. What am I doing wrong...I want it to write new addresses to my email partition?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Using NAT And Want To Do Intranet Email Using IP Addresses Instead Of Names
Jan 10, 2011I've got 2 computers plugged into an "ethernet broadband router" sitting behind a DSL modem. I'd like to be able to send mail from one of the 2 computers to the other, preferably without going through the DSL modem, and preferably without assigning host names (if that's possible).
I've installed/configured sendmail (and sendmail-cf and m4) and am attempting babystep tests of the configuration by sending mail to a user on the originating computer.
So I can send email to root@localhost and it is received on the local host.
But if I try to send it to root@127.0.0.1, it bounces back like so:
This seems to be pretty fundamental (the localhost has an address of 127.0.0.1). Shouldn't I be able to use the IP address in place of the associated name?
Here's my hosts file /etc/hosts:
Code:
And here's my resolv.conf file, although I wouldn't expect that to come into play since I'm using IP addresses instead of names /etc/resolv.conf:
Code:
Here's my /etc/mail/access file:
Code:
I did verify that sendmail was configured to listen in on more than just the loopback address in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, but that doesn't seem to be relevant until I can get email through to 127.0.0.1.
Which files do I need to create/touch to get this to work?
And can it be done without talking to the DSL modem?
Debian Configuration :: Why Does /etc/aliases Choke On Email Addresses
Dec 21, 2010Related to my last post in that it is another email issue, but something else I am having a problem with.
Debian Lenny on virtual KVM (32-bit, v5.0.7)
With Postfix it is necessary to have an alias for root, eg: root: someuser
In theory, and as far as I am aware, this can also be something like: root: someone@someaddress.tld
When I use the latter, though, the following happens whenever my system tries to redirect root email messages, but not when I use the root: someuser method in the aliases file (and, yes, I do know to use newaliases after amending the file).
The firewall is not an issue (tested with and without the firewall), nor are the resolvers, and the DNS for accounts on the box is all okay and fully propagated. Also, changing the email address to something like this.address@google.com does not work, either, - same error message.
Fedora :: Saving Email Addresses History In EVOLUTION

View 2 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Evolution, Recent Email Addresses Drop Down?
Apr 10, 2011I have a feeling this is going to be something no one cares about enough to have bothered with, however, just in case someone else got frustrated enough to figure this out I thought I would ask.I have an associate I send and receive a lot of email with. They have one email they use rarely (once a month) and another they use all the time. The problem is that evolution always shows the one they use rarely first.
That is, when I partially type in their name in the "to" field those two email addresses will list in a drop down. I would like to either remove the rarely used email address from the list or have evolution list from most recently used (like "The Bat!" does, a Windows email client I use) instead of however it does it now, presumably it's just in alphabetical order.Right now about 20% of my emails go to this other email address because I'm busy, in a hurry, tired or whatever and just forget that it defaults to the wrong one all the time and it's caused the occasional problem.
Server :: Postfix Setup - Make Own Email Addresses
May 14, 2011It wasn't too long ago that I discovered Linux/Ubuntu (in terms of actually USING it) and I've been completely blown away by the capabilities it puts in the user's hands! To think that someone can take an old desktop from a trash pile (literally, in my case) and turn it into a web server for ZERO dollars is absolutely crazy.
Anyway, I've been using said desktop as a sort of "dummy" machine to learn Linux. I want to be clear that I've got another computer for personal use and that I understand that setting up server software on any computer poses a security risk. Having said that, I have a few questions regarding mail servers and their setup on Ubuntu. Again - I'm comfortable with what I've done so far in Ubuntu (installing packages, terminal interaction, basic usage)
My question is mainly this: if you have, say, a domain name through DynDNS (let's say example123.com) and it points to an Ubuntu system, does something like Postfix enable you to make your own email addresses such as user1@example123.com and have an email server from wherever the Ubuntu system is?
I've been following the basic Postfix setup here and have had success so far (down to the "Adding your local domains to postfix" section) bu wanted to make sure that what I'm intending to do is what I'm doing (haha... i hope that makes sense). That is: get domain name at DynDNS, host pages on LAMPP server, use Postfix to facilitate incoming/outgoing email for that domain name.
General :: Sending Backup Results To External Email Addresses?
Mar 26, 2009I come from more of a programming background but have been giving the task of sending backup results from a linux box in an email to external email addresses, I have spent days looking trough google for info but cant seem to find anything simple, I have looked at postfix but because I don't understand networks, hosts, nameservers etc. What I need to do to allow mail get sent from the linux box to external mail address.

View 1 Replies View RelatedServer :: Configure Sendmail As Forwarder For All Received Email?
May 4, 2011So I have two servers in my environment, I have an app server that runs my Java App on it and then I have a utility server. Right now, I have that utility server acting as a simple mail gateway so when my app server needs to send an e-mail out, it forwards it to the utility server and the utility server sends it out to where-ever it's destined to. The Java server always sends as one specific user, let's call it bob@company.com.
This set-up is working just fine right now. Now, I also have my company.com e-mail hosted at an e-mail provider for all of my user's e-mail accounts and such. I also have a bob@company.com e-mail account so if e-mails ever bounce, they end up in this inbox. Again, this works fine.
My app is pretty email dumb so it can't authenticate itself or anything, that's why I am using sendmail on my utility server instead of my e-mail provider's SMTP server. What I would like to do is to configure sendmail to forward all outbound e-mails (and authenticate) to my e-mail provider's SMTP gateway using the bob@company.com account and credentials. Is it possible to configure sendmail to do this?
Ubuntu Networking :: Create A Nickname/alias/logical Name For An Interface?
Jul 28, 2011Basically I am looking for a simple way to create a universal nickname/alias for a interface.We ship servers that have upto 6 NICs on them. The user can have those NIC configured as either ethN, bondN or vlanN interfaces. As we need to provide NIC status information we would like to be able to run commands such as
Code:
ifconfig INTERFACE1
that would map to whatever the user had already configured.
