Yea, it's been a few days... Mainly because nothing too exciting has come up. All the students seem to have been complaining about tests and homework (there have been quite a few), but now's a break for them which is good. Work's been pretty routine. Today I got to learn a lot about procmail and stuff. Tomorrow it looks like I get to load the non-RPM version of mailman since the RPM one has some issues. The list server looks like it's gonna go pretty smooth though. Right now I have it not handleing the list server domain normally, but treating it as an external domain it relays for but rather than passing it off through SMTP it dumps it into a procmail recipe. Probably doesn't make sense if you're not a geek, but I'm starting to become a much bigger fan of procmail - very nice interface and really powerful. It's really easy to do crazy things like run your email through perl scripts... House inspection was yesterday, and that's being worked on. Hopefully that'll all be figured out soon... It'd be nice to have it set. I'm was looking forward to doing pretty much nothing this weekend, but now it sounds like I won't have much free time. I guess that's how things go...

Best of luck with the house jeremy. Oh, and I am a nerd and I still didn't fully understand your procmail info, what is a recipe? I'm all about throwing email in perl scripts. I wonder if I could run my atm receipts through one of those before the bank gets them.

A recipe is basically instructions for the computer on what to do with the email. Think a programing language for the email server.
