Hello Colin Bex,
   Out of interest, the email was composed at "lexicombe" on Thursday 29th,
received from gist by onetel on Wednesday 28th, it was received by UKFSN on
Wednesday 28th, forwarded on Friday 30th (delay probably caused during mail
checking because of the empty email with attatchments), arriving at my local
mailserver here Friday night, but not collected until I opened my mail
Saturday morning. It appeared right at the bottom of the stack because of
date/time sent ordering.

   A reply email to lexicomb <at> onetel.net.uk bounced as not known.

Re: On-call


Thanks for your comments on this. I decided to have an informal chat with
the manager of the networks team and he said "he's full of shit" about my
manager.

I suppose my "strategy" will be to just ignore my manager and hope he
doesn't get too upset about it. If he again claims that I'm always on
call, I'll ask for it in writing.

Thanks again.

Hardware bits supplier in/near Oxford

The hard disc in my home server turned up its toes yesterday.  No data
loss fortunately, but I need to get a new large hard disc quickly.  PC
World is the obvious spot, but can anyone recommend anywhere else
in/near Oxford where I could get such a thing.  Alternatively I'll just
buy a false beard to wear on top of my real beard and go to PC World. 
Presumably even they can't mess up a blank hard disc.

John

Re: Hardware bits supplier in/near Oxford

Ji John,
If you can make it today, there are two Computer fairs near 
Oxford street, well one is opposite University of 
Westminster, Cavendish Campus and the other on the other side 
of the Totenham Court Road.

They are there every Saturday 9am to 4 or 5pm

Check British Computer Fair web site for more fairs and info.

Um, that was Oxford, not Oxford Street... John doesn't live in London :-)

I have solved this myself  - posting for the sake of the archive ...

it seems that the list file is the same list that can be obtained from

http://packages.debian.org/testing/graphics/gocr

(see [list of files])

or by downloading the .deb

and running

dpkg-deb   --contents gocr_0.39-1_i386.deb

both these lists require a little reformatting

exim question

Hello,

I am moving email for some domains to a server with exim from one with 
postfix and have a slight problem.  I am running vm-pop3d 
(http://www.reedmedia.net/software/virtualmail-pop3d/) with the mail for 
virtual POP accounts delivered to:

/mail/≤domains name>/<local part>

I have set up exim (debian stable version, 3.35) as in the example here 
(the basic config with the additions for virtual mail folders..):

http://www.reedmedia.net/software/virtualmail-pop3d/mda/exim.conf.txt

The /mail directory and all subdirectories and files are owned by 
mail.mail (uid and gid of 8) and are all set to permissions 660.  Why 
then, so I get this message when I try and send to 
test <at> test.hellacool.co.uk:

2004-05-01 18:38:05 1BJv6V-00076K-00 virtual_alias director: failed to 
open /mail/test.hellacool.co.uk/aliases for linear search: Permission 
denied (euid=8 egid=8)

when exim tries (i thought) to deliver as user 'mail'.  Someone please 
enlighten me as to my glaring error ;)

Thanks,
Will.

The directories need to be 770 not 660.
