6/30    Poll, how many people use the followings?
        mehlhaff's motd,v: ....
        kais motd:...
        \_ I don't use it because it's not text/command line based. Also
           I don't use software written by fags
           \_ if you snd/rcv mail on soda then you do. just logging
              in and posting to the motd probably means you're using
              software written by a fag, at least indirectly.
              \_ that's because soda sucks and uses sendmail instead of qmail.
                 what does uclink use?
                 \_ uclink uses /dev/null as its mta; it no longer exists
                 \_ That might have been a good argument, 5 years ago.  But
                    djb is a lofty thinker who doesn't care much about
                    interoperation, extensibility, and many other things.
                    Sendmail has gotten better.  Qmail hasn't.
           \_ why do you hate queer people?
        \_ I don't use it because I don't even know about it.
        wrote my own archiver: .
        yermom: .
        \_ i mostly use mehlhaff's. I set up my own once but then thought it's
           pointless to duplicate the effort. mehlhaff usually keeps his stuff
           going pretty well. i have visited kais a few times but it's too
           much of a bother for my usual usage. maybe if it had a better
           interface with links/lynx.

7/14    Help sendmail experts. I forward email from my own domain to

12/29   There have been a lot of complaints regarding soda reliability and
        users not volunteering their time and effort to help. Obviously,
        it wouldn't make sense for every user to be given root access so
        they can volunteer. Instead, why don't we use motd for people to
        contribute concrete suggestions (not just to start flame wars) to
        improve soda reliability and security? I'll start:

8/5     I just want to take this fine opportunity and say, FUCK sendmail.
        It is difficult to configure and its debugging facility totally
        blows. I can't believe how braindead sendmail config is, not to
        mention its sucky security. Fuck sendmail, use postfix instead.
        I got postfix running in a jiffy and I didn't even have to go
        through 800 pages of sendmail manpage. Fuck sendmail and

8/3     I'm trying to add virtual forwarding, by adding a file called
        /etc/mail/virtusertable that forwards from user "test@mydomain.com"
        to "joeblow". I also added the line "FEATURE(`virtusertable')dnl"
        in sendmail.mc. Lastly, I did a make, then restarted sendmail. However
        it is not working. How do I diagnose the problem?

8/4     In sendmail on Linux, how do I write a rule which will quietly discard
        e-mail sent to nonexistent users? Default behavior is to bounce
        the mail back, but in the case of SPAM the From: address doesn't
        exist. I'd rather just toss such mail.

8/4     After trying to get sendmail's virtusertable to work for several
        hours, I've given up and decided to use exim4 instead. I've followed
        the following URL for exim4's equivalent of virtusertable, but now
        wondering how I can specify "error: User Known" and email
        nullification inside my new /etc/exim/virtusertable?

8/4     Dear sendmail virtusertable gurus, please help.
        Let's say my domain name is <DEAD>csua1.com<DEAD> and I'd like it to handle mail
        for <DEAD>csua2.com<DEAD> as well. The virtusertable (which I ran "makemap hash"
        on to generate virtusertable.db) contains the followings:

        domain to be any of the 3 I own. However, sendmail keeps masquerading my
