Hi,

I have quite alot of additional software on my bubba, which I don't want to have to reinstall.

Are you going to make an incremental build of etch? This was how I updated my laptop to etch.

The debian sarge distribution at http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge no longer exists. Is there an alternative?

I have found a fix to this now. I still have postfix successfully delivering post to the local user, which is then processed according to the .forward file. This worked well before. Now, as a result of processing the email, I send a specific email back to the sender indicating success or the identif...

I use the server to control my house - lights, curtains and appliances. It is also linked in with the security system - which monitors doors, spaces, CO, fire and water - and is about to be linked with environmental and energy sensors. By post processing email sent to a specific user then I can comm...

Eek, I have tried the canonical file. It makes no difference. With the current setup, I am able to relay emails through my ISP and receive emails from my ISP successfully. The problem comes when an email from my ISP fails its checks and is rejected. This happens because I am post-processing the emai...

Spoke too soon. Unfortunately, postfix returns an unaccepted e-mail to the sender with from=<>, which is then rejected by my ISP. The log is: Sep 27 17:24:37 bubba postfix/local[21347]: C443D2420287: to=<localuser@localhost>, relay=local, delay=1, status=bounced (data format error) Sep 27 17:24:37 b...

Carl,

Thanks for the advice. This is the only way I could get my ISP to authenticate SMTP. I have contacted them to see if this is correct>

Eek, thanks for your help.

I have now got this working by setting up an alternative identity for the person sending e-mails from the bubba server.

This identity is set to the identity that the ISP expects to see if I was using a client email tool such as evolution, i.e. username@btinternet.com.

Eek thanks for your prompt. smtp_sasl_security_options was set to noplaintext and noanonymous. Now set to JUST noanonymous. Log now says: relay=mail.btinternet.com[217.146.188.192], delay=77814, status=bounced (host mail.btinternet.com[217.146.188.192] said: 553 From: address not verified; see http:...

Yes I do hash the password file with

postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_password

When I try and send emails from my bubba server, postfix fails to authenticate - see log below. Sep 26 14:13:45 bubba postfix/cleanup[19412]: F1F742420221: message-id=<20080926131344.F1F742420221@bubba.localdomain> Sep 26 14:13:45 bubba postfix/qmgr[19395]: F1F742420221: from=<root@localhost>, size=...

I am using mediatomb with audio files in ogg vorbis. Unfortunately, mediatomb doesn't appear to pull out the metadata. As a result, the Audio directory has unknown artists, albums, genres and years. The music files appear correctly within the PC Directory and I can play them using the Rythmbox on my...

I have now documented how I am automating my house and published on the web. My bubba is the always on server that sits at the heart of this. See http://www.tuson.org.uk

tor, This update loaded correctly, however I again had to edit the dhclient.conf file to increase the timeout. Is there a reason that you have is set to 10? I have tried to find the optimum value for my system, I just set it to 120. Could you do something about this before the next update? Otherwise...

I would like to see solid state storage with the bubba engineered for even less power consumption and completely silent but with more USB ports.
