configuring http proxy and username/password

Hi,
 
I have had a search through this forum and have not been able to find any info on configuring Zoe to use a http proxy that requires authentication (MS Proxy - don't blame me I only work here).
 
I have happily edited configurations\default\...properties files to change other parameters, but have found no info on proxy setup.
 
Is this possible in Zoe, or is it done globally via some j2sdk level config.
 
Thanks in advance

You can set that by using some JVM networking properties:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/net/properties.html

Check out http.proxyHost, socksProxyHost, java.net.socks.username and 
java.net.socks.password.

You can pass those properties as arguments using the '-D' option when 
launching the application. For example:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=MyProxyHost -DsocksProxyHost=MySocksProxyHost 
-jar Zoe.jar

Cheers,

R.

mail filtering

Hello,

I have been trying to edit the SpamFilter.properties file to filter out 
mail sent to certain mail addresses. I have a domain wide pop box and I 
only want to store mail that is directed to me. In the mail header is a 
line Delivered-To: ** <at> ** so in the SpamFilter.properties I have a line 
like Delevered-To=<the address to block>, but the mail still gets 
through.
What am I doing wrong?

Erik.

ZEO newbie questions (Mac OS X, Apple Mail)

hi there :)

I'm currently testing zoe on Mac OS X and what I see really pleases me 
:) I now want to use zoe with Apple Mail: Mail should send stuff to 
zoe, zoe should send it to my regular smtp-server, zoe should get mail 
from my regular smtp-account and Mail should get it from zoes pop 
server. So far no special needs :)

However, I do have a bunch of questions:

- To use zoe as a pop-server, I have to change to port Mail uses or the 
port zoe uses or I have to forward the port 110 to zoes port, since I 
cannot manually change the port of Apple Mail. How do I do this? :)
- Which username and password is needed for pop?
- Which username and password is needed to use zoe as an smtp-server? I 
tried the settings I gave zoe to connect to my regular smtp-server, but 
that does not work.
- How can I tell zoe to display html-mail? Zoe filters them out, but I 
want them to be displayed.
- Most of my mails are marked as "Amsterdam". I'm in Germany/Berlin... 
where does this "Amsterdam" come from?
- Can I change the update intervall for zoes pop-mail-check?
- Can I localize the interface to my needs?
- How can I start zoe on login without starting up my default browser? 
I just want zoe to start as a background app.
- Does zoe work together with the sleep mode of Mac OS X?
- What happens, when I send mail to zoe and I'm not connected to the 
internet? Does the mail get saved and checked sometime later, when I 
dialed in? Is there any way I could see which mail is pending?
- How can I quit zoe? Currently I'm killing the java-process :)
- How can I configure how many mails zoe will display on each page?

German umlauts in zoe?

hi there :)

I noticed that zoe cannot display german umlauts: softwarevorfŸhrung 
should be softwarevorführung. Is there a way I could change this?

I think you can set that in the Advanced tab for the account you're 
concerned with.

the one for the account, since Zoe will be logging in as you.

It's the timezone you're in: it should get it from the system's time, 
so be sure that's set properly. If Amsterdam is in the same time zone, 
that's all that matters.

You could write a StartupItem to launch it. It doesn't require a 
browser to run, just to read what it does.

click on the Zoe text and you should get to a system control area that 
has a great big power button. Click on that.

You can only set the smtp port, but not the pop port. Anyway, I now 
tried to set the pop-port of zoe to 110 using a config file. This also 
does not seem to work. I looks like zoe works nicely with other 
settings like 10111 but fails starting up with 110 as pop port. it 
tells me:

This is what I get in debug mode:

07/16 21:15:28 (Debug) SZConfiguration.properties: Loading properties 
for 'alt.dev.szpop.SZPOP'.
(ERROR) Application.main: java.net.BindException: Permission denied
07/16 21:15:28 (ERROR) Application.main: Application.main: 
java.net.BindException: Permission denied
07/16 21:15:28 (Info) SZStore$Shutdown.run:

It looks like zoe is not able to bind this port, but there is nothing 
running on 110. I also disabled my firewall just to be sure that there 
is nothing blocking the port.

Running zeo as root with "java -Duser.name=truhe -jar Zoe.jar daemon" 
works (!) and Apple Mail is able to connect to zoe (and begins 
downloading everything which zoe has imported from mail before grmbl!).

But of course I do not want to run zoe as root every time :). Is there 
a way to run zoe as a user and bind it to port 110?

pop3-problems dele command fails

hi there :)

another problem in the neverending list of getting used to zoe :)

connecting to zoe with apple mail now works perfectly. however, mail 
always downloads everything as new. i tried using pop with mozilla mail 
to see whether it's an apple mail or a general problem. mozilla mail 
tells me: "The DELE command did not succeed. Mail server responded: ?".

I looked at it through telnet and while logging in, list and retr work 
DELE XXX gives me:

dele 57
-ERR ?

i also noted that every mail which apple mail downloads via pop from 
zoe lost its german umlauts. that's interesting, because zoe actually 
imported the mails out of apple mail and is able to display the umlauts 
inside its gui. however, mails downloaded via pop3 from zoe have spaces 
instead of umlauts.

are these know problems? i saw some character problems in the list 
archive, but my problem seems to be something else.

some issues

Hello,

Bugs?:
- It seems that some processing is done by using the session context, 
rather than the page; I use tabbed browsing - opening several mails 
almost at once in different tabs, and the link filter (§) displays as 
tooltip info from another mail.
- sometime location (cities) are mixed up, I assume that they should be 
taken from whois records; It might be linked with the above problem.

Feat. request:
- having an option to the POP3 server to show only today and maybe 
yesterday's mails, I just cannot afford my POP3 client to download all 
my 80,000 mails.
- maybe an IMAP server would solve the above issue.

Thanks,

No. Ports below 1024 are privileged ports, which means that only
programs running as root can bind to these ports.

So you either have to live w/ a custom, non-privileged port or keep
running zoe with the super-user's ID.
