The project will deliver an advice rather then a product like a patch or add-on for GNU Mailman. This means that the report becomes an consultancy report instead of a project proposal. 1.0.0 30 June 2008 Final version 1 of the report. 1.0.1 1 July 2008 A spelling check of the report. 1.0.2 5 July 2008 Extending the conclusion en future work chapters. Participants Name Contact Information University of Amsterdam Rudy Borgstede (Student) [email protected] Cees de Laat (Supervisor) [email protected] NLnet Michiel Leenaars (Supervisor) [email protected] Abstract This report is the result of a research project of four weeks at the NLnet Foundation1 in Amster- dam. The NLnet Foundation is a foundation who financially supports the open-source community and their projects. The purpose of the project is to improve the usability and the administration of the mailing lists (of the foundation) and giving a more clear view on mailing list server software to anyone who is interested in using mailing list server software or developing new mail or mail- ing list server software. The report describes the research of the usability of several open-source mailing list server software for scalable environments with several well known mail servers.

  • Analysis and Performance Optimization of E-Mail Server
    Analysis and Performance Optimization of E-mail Server Disserta¸c~aoapresentada ao Instituto Polit´ecnicode Bragan¸capara cumprimento dos requisitos necess´arios `aobten¸c~aodo grau de Mestre em Sistemas de Informa¸c~ao,sob a supervis~aode Prof. Dr. Rui Pedro Lopes. Eduardo Manuel Mendes Costa Outubro 2010 Preface The e-mail service is increasingly important for organizations and their employees. As such, it requires constant monitoring to solve any performance issues and to maintain an adequate level of service. To cope with the increase of traffic as well as the dimension of organizations, several architectures have been evolving, such as cluster or cloud computing, promising new paradigms of service delivery, which can possibility solve many current problems such as scalability, increased storage and processing capacity, greater rationalization of resources, cost reduction, and increase in performance. However, it is necessary to check whether they are suitable to receive e-mail servers, and as such the purpose of this dissertation will concentrate on evaluating the performance of e-mail servers, in different hosting architectures. Beyond computing platforms, was also analze different server applications. They will be tested to determine which combinations of computer platforms and applications obtained better performances for the SMTP, POP3 and IMAP services. The tests are performed by measuring the number of sessions per ammount of time, in several test scenarios. This dissertation should be of interest for all system administrators of public and private organizations that are considering implementing enterprise wide e-mail services. i Acknowledgments This work would not be complete without thanking all who helped me directly or indirectly to complete it.

  • Import/Export De Données Avec Un Calendrier Android
    Import/export de donnees´ avec un calendrier Android Stephane´ Bortzmeyer <[email protected]> Premiere` redaction´ de cet article le 6 fevrier´ 2011 https://www.bortzmeyer.org/synch-calendar-android.html —————————- Un des plus gros problemes` du systeme` d’exploitation Android est certainement dans la dependance´ de son outil d’agenda au service Google Calendar. Si on utilise Google Calendar, tout va vien, la syn- chronisation avec les donnees´ du tel´ ephone´ se fait toute seule, les sauvegardes sont faites chez Google, tout le monde est heureux. Mais si on ne veut pas partager ses donnees´ avec Google, qui va lui memeˆ les partager avec plein de gens (a` commencer par la police de son pays), si on veut pouvoir avoir des rendez-vous personnels ou professionnels sans que Google soit au courant, quelle solution pour faire des sauvegardes? Et, plus gen´ eralement,´ pour importer et exporter des calendriers avec Android? La solution la plus evidente,´ changer de logiciel, ne marche pas : le seul logiciel concurrent, Jorte <http://www.jorte.net/>, est plutotˆ pauvre. Par exemple il n’a memeˆ pas le concept d’evenements´ recurrents.´ Tres` peu de gens l’utilisent. Et, s’il y a au moins une dizaine de clients Twitter sur An- droid, ecrire´ un logiciel d’agenda est moins prestigieux et il n’y a donc guere` de choix. (Je n’ai pas encore teste´ Pimlico <http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/> qui, au 11 fevrier´ 2011, n’a pas at- teint le Market, ni Calengoo <http://android.calengoo.com/>, dont Yannick vient de me par- ler mais, de toute fac¸on, ce dernier ne gere` pas non plus iCalendar.

Today, sendmail development is still drivenbyacontinually changing set of network requirements and user demands. Lately,two new driving forces have also contributed to sendmail development. First, as more open source mail transfer agents, such as Exim and Postfix,become available, a newfriendly competition has developed in which the authors of the various MTAs share their ideas via open source and help to advance open standards as opposed to advancing their own particular implementation. Second, a new“hybrid” company, Sendmail, Inc., has been created to offer commercial versions of the open source software while continuing to fuel open source development.

  • PMDF - a PASCAL-Based Memo Distribution Facility
    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons Technical Reports (CIS) Department of Computer & Information Science May 1983 PMDF - A PASCAL-Based Memo Distribution Facility Ira Winston University of Pennsylvania, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/cis_reports Recommended Citation Ira Winston, "PMDF - A PASCAL-Based Memo Distribution Facility", . May 1983. University of Pennsylvania Department of Computer and Information Science Technical Report No. MS-CIS-83-11. This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/cis_reports/652 For more information, please contact [email protected]. PMDF - A PASCAL-Based Memo Distribution Facility Abstract This paper describes the implementation of PMDF, a portable Pascal-based internetwork mail router. It includes features such as aliasing, forwarding, queueing automatic routing to network gateways, message batching and message retransmission and is currently being used as a gateway between the Computer Science Network's PhoneNet and local electronic mail systems. PMDF is unique among internetwork mailers in that it is portable. All operating system dependent functions have been isolated to one module and therefore PMDF can be ported to any system that has a Pascal compiler and provides the functions necessary to implement the operating system dependent module.

Example: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list * "man" command can be used to find help manual for a command. For example, "man sudo" will display the manual page for the "sudo" command: man sudo * While "apt-get" and "aptitude" are fast ways of installing programs/packages, you can also use the Synaptic Package Manager, a GUI method for installing programs/packages.
