msvcr71.dll - Need a Dll File?

I've just had cause to find the dll file msvcr71.dll to get a program to work. I found it and downloaded the DLL from DLL-files.com might be worth a look over a DLL-files.com if your in need of any other DLL files. Not sure I fancy the "fixer tool" though...

Spamihilator

Spamihilator is a rather good freeware antispam program, if your antivirus or internet security product does not come with one. It has a whole host of features and boasts it stops 98% of spam, which based on the desktop it has been installed on that is probably about right!

It has a good selection of inbuilt tools (I particually like the link filter) and you can extend it further with plugins. Check out the Spamihilator main site for a full list of features.

Color-Hex

Sometimes you need to find out colours say while your editing css and you need to see what colour the hex code actually is. Color HEX is a rather simple but very useful site. Comes with some other features too including the generation of simple css code for a selected colour. 

Some Emails Remain On Remote POP account - SME Server

Situation
SME server is collectiing email from a remote POP account and fails to download particular emails but instead leaves them in the POP account marked as read.

Solution
Check the qpsmtpd settings by typing the following in the console.

config show qpsmtp

This will display your qpsmtp settings, which may vary from the following output.

qpsmtpd=service
    Bcc=enabled
    BccMode=bcc
    BccUser=maillog
    DNSBL=enabled
    LogLevel=6
    MaxScannerSize=25000000
    RBLList=bl.spamcop.net:combined.njabl.org:dnsbl.ahbl.org:dnsbl-1.uceprotect.                                             net:dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net:list.dsbl.org:multihop.dsbl.org:psbl.surriel.com:zen.                                             spamhaus.org
    RHSBL=enabled
    RequireResolvableFromHost=yes
    SBLList=bogusmx.rfc-ignorant.org:multi.surbl.org:black.uribl.com:bulk.rhs.ma                                             ilpolice.com:fraud.rhs.mailpolice.com:porn.rhs.mailpolice.com:adult.rhs.mailpoli                                             ce.com:ex.dnsbl.org
    TlsBeforeAuth=1
    access=public
    qplogsumm=disabled
    status=enabled

We are interested in RequireResolvableFromHost=yes

In the console type
config setprop qpsmtpd RequireResolvableFromHost no

Then to make the changes take effect
signal-event email-update

This should now allow the offending emails to be downloaded and removed from the remote POP account

DeltaCopy - Rsync Wrapper for Windows - Backup Program

Rsync is a very useful tool in reducing backup times since rather than transfer complete files it transfers changes only. However as a Windows user you might find it difficult to find an implementation that uses Rsync since it is more a unix and linux program and this is where DeltaCopy comes in.

DeltaCopy is a wrapper for Rysnc on windows making it easy to use so no command line typing or options. It uses the Server and Client method and can scheduled to run as well as email successes or failures, if needed.

DeltaCopy can be implemented locally to backup files or folders to a USB hard disk by installing both the Server and Client component on the same computer. You can of course use it over a network by installing the server on one windows machine and the client on the other, which you want to backup from. The client will also connect to a Unix or Linux machine that is running a rsync daemon and thus opens the ability to backup to a NAS.

It is simple to use and there is a guide on the website along with a little more information HERE.

SME Server 7.4 - Adding "Learn As Ham" Command For Individual Users to a Cron job

Situation
While a "LearnAsHam" script was worked out there was a need to learn ham messages from certain users mailboxes rather than every mailbox on the sme server. The system admin was running these manually when time permitted what was needed was a cron job to save time and as fill in measure.

Solution
To setup a cron job from the console run

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/crontab
then

pico -w  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/crontab/your_file_name


Add your cron entries.

Example below
0 12 * * 1-5 root sa-learn --ham /home/e-smith/files/users/insert mailboxname/Maildir/cur/*
(Runs sa-learn against a set users mailbox 12 noon every day from Monday to Friday)

Save. Then from the console


/sbin/e-smith/expand-template etc/crontab

To check it has been added to cron type at the console
more /etc/crontab

then to finish
expand-template /etc/crontab 

When completed the desginated admin on the system will receive an email from the Cron Daemon confirming the number of tokens learned from the amount of messages examined.
