  1. [all variants] Re: How can I lower sendmail DNS lookup timeout/delay?

    You're welcome, and well done for getting it working!

  2. [all variants] Re: How can I lower sendmail DNS lookup timeout/delay?

    Your issue is that Postfix is unable to start (and bind to port 25 as MTA's do) because it seems Sendmail (or something else) is still running (and hence hanging onto that port).

    The installation...

    On a practical level I wouldn't worry about it. Certificate security services for SMTP are very rarely used (compared to the HTTP world) and, if anything, is often used only for the encryption aspect...

    [ubuntu] Re: Apache2 resolving

    Okay, that's good - the DNS is fine.

    That is the server config, you need the site-specific config (in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default by default, I think).

    [ubuntu] Re: Configuring hosts

    You need to describe your setup better, in particular how your network is laid out. What is the subnet mask, i.e. are the 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x devices all in the same subnet?

    Sure... Let's do a walkthough:

    To calculate the running costs of a device, at the most basic level, we need to know three things:

    - Power consumption (measured in watts, W)
    - Running time...

    I'm not so sure.

    The author has not provided the actual power consumption of devices in many of their examples and so it would be impossible to correct those entries (instead requiring further...

    True, true. It's just very worrying when you see such inaccurate information presented as fact that it makes you (me) worry what else might be right or wrong.
