  1. [ubuntu] Re: Postfix- call web service after receive of mail

    Certainly sounds like procmail can do the job. Personally, for low volume, I'd most likely use Mandrill, from the folks behind MailChimp. It supports email to webhook, and is free for up to 12k...

    We have 3 dedicated servers, 2 with OVH (who roll their own kernel) and one with Hetzner. They're all configured virtually identically thanks to puppet.

    The disconnected warning is perhaps the most important I reckon. For example, today I had an emergency, had to log into our production machine over SSH from a (very) untrusted internet cafe! I've...

    Favux, thanks, I think you've summarised the discussion well. The one issue with the new thread approach is directing traffic from the old thread to the new. I suppose in future if I want to play...

    Re: Locking old threads does not make sense

    @overdrank: I think the value lies in people finding those old threads via search engines, exactly how I did, and then finding out of date information and no link to anything more recent.

    Re: Locking old threads does not make sense

    What is a "frees thread" in place of a closed one?

    Starting a new thread continuing the discussion from an old one separates the discussion into two parts, there's no upside in it whatsoever that...

    Best solution I can find so far (just got a mono external speaker) is this one. However, I get massive "clipping" at any usable volume, so it's essentially useless. However, there's a media player...

    Locking old threads does not make sense

    I've seen lots of blind locking of old threads with the justification that "they're old". This is simply nonsensical.

    I realise this is an old thread, but for anyone finding it from a search (as I did) the best tool for the job (from a GUI point of view!) seems to be NTM, which even integrates nicely with indicators.
