Hi,

I am currently working on an application which emails its users of status updates.

In a properties file within the application is where I specify the following:

1. SMTP email server host name
2. Sender's name
3. Sender's email address

Emails are being sent out whenever there are status updates, but how do I prevent users from replying back to the Sender's email address?

I do not want users to send emails to the Sender's email account.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nancy

Well, I don't know that it was needed, or that it improved performance (things "feel" the same, and I was not motivated enough to take before and after benchmarks), but I did emerge -e world using these CFLAGS and MAKEOPTS:

Code:

CFLAGS="-march=prescott -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -pipe -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs"
MAKEOPTS="-j5"

256 packages were rebuilt, I rebooted, and everything is fine. Anyway, posting this just to say it appears "safe" to do this.

Yup. It was fixed for future reboots, not preexisting ones...

I've just been bit by this. For some reason my lish appeared frozen, so I did the C-a k y, and now it thinks the machine is powered off (it isn't), but dashboard says running.

There is no screen to be attached matching maine.
Your Linode isn't running, or another console session is already active.

This is on dallas64.

What is console.atlanta.linode.com? Is that something that is run by the Atlanta datacenter or by Linode?

We experienced packet loss to the Atlanta data center. Things are back to normal now and we are still investigating the cause.

Same here with atlanta22. Looks like a network issue. I'm getting over 90% packet loss.
