Are you by chance handing mail off to courier's maildrop for delivery?
 If so just use couriers quota mechanism.

Re: OpenBSD as Virtualbox guest

Maybe you just have to wait a couple of weeks/months, here's an extract from
VirtualBox website:

        OpenBSD 4.0 might not work well, a fix will be in the next version
of VirtualBox. No Guest Additions available yet.

I tried to install it on VirtualBox installed from their binaries on
Ubuntu box, and -current cd40.iso (or was it already cd41.iso? I don't
remember, it was not long ago) was crashing during booting. Hopefully

Neither OpenBSD 4.0 nor FreeBSD 6.2 work.  OpenBSD panics very early and
FreeBSD panics during installation procedure.  I'm frustrated because
it was exactly these two operating systems that I wanted to work with -
besides a Windows XP install.

exactly.
This idea of using VMware (or similar) to host a firewall that
protects the host operating system is something I find somewhere
between amusing (because its silly) and scary (because it indicates
people don't really understand, and think that a "firewall" works
magic, and these people might be protecting our personal data).

By the time a packet has made it to your VMware firewall, you have
gone through the host OS.  You are assuming the host OS's network
support is secure.  You are assuming the VMware virtualization code is
secure.  You are assuming that the VM can't be compromised by an
exploited host OS.

I don't think that's a really good idea.

A year ago, I thought it was a theoretically bad idea.  But leave it
to the wireless people to put theory into practice:
  http://lwn.net/Articles/191100/
Remember that this was a DRIVER vulnerability, not an APPLICATION
vulnerability.  So yes, nothing had to be attached.

nv(4) driver on nVidia 7600GS card.

Hi,

I have an nVidia 7600GS Graphics card, and attempted to get it to work
with the NV(4) driver.

There shall be no hardware problem, as I have tested it with VESA(4)
driver, and X -config /root/xorg.conf.new works.

This is the monitor that I was trying to get to work:
http://support.ap.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/2407WFP/en/about.htm#Specifications

Its modeline has been specified in the xorg.conf.new file.

I don't quite get the "warnings" in the log, I have only specified ONE
resolution to be used in xorg.conf.new but it is trying all different
one's??

Attached dmesg, xorg.conf.new and Xorg.0.log, hope they can help. If
you do not prefer attachments I can upload it to a http server
instead.

Thanks for the help.

I have no windows machines, but I can try to recreate your problem
using an OpenBSD NFS server. 

One question: can yo try with UDP mounts also (leave out the -T)?

IPv6 is not supported currently, and I think it will be a while before that 
happens.
