I have a friend who&#8217;s company runs their own mail server &#8230; but they also have a backup MX listed.  The main mail server accepted mail for my friend without a problem &#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of you who follow my blog (or know me in person) are well aware that I&#8217;m a big fan of Norton Ghost backup software.
One of the major problems I&#8217;ve had with Norton Ghost is the fact that it only provides the ability to create a recovery CD &#8230; it doesn&#8217;t provide any ability to [...]]]></description>

The other day, before I went to bed, I put my new Dell Latitude E6400 into standby mode &#8230; I&#8217;m 99% sure I did this.
The next morning, however, when I went down stairs I found my laptop powered on.
That evening, before [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I got the iPhone, I&#8217;ve noticed that it causes nearby speakers (radios, desk phones, etc) to emit a buzzing noise.
The odd thing is, my boss Brian&#8217;s Blackberry does the same thing.
I finally found the reason why:
The cause of this buzzing has to do with GSM’s “time division” nature. The ever-knowledgeable Keith Nowak, spokesperson [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I just discovered a technique that&#8217;s quite handy &#8230; at work I&#8217;m writing some java code that uses a lot of generic methods.  The problem is, it&#8217;s quite difficult to figure out what actual field name in the java code is being referenced by the code (it&#8217;s being triggered by one or more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I noticed that there&#8217;s a lot of temporary files in the /tmp directory on my mail server &#8230; all the files have spamassassin in the file name.  I figured that in some cases, SpamAssassin (or programs it calls) isn&#8217;t cleaning up properly.
I whipped up this script that will clean up any spamassassin files [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I find that the message list in Thunderbird gets out of sync with the message bodies.  When this happens, if I click on a message in the list, the message body that is brought up doesn&#8217;t match the subject.
I found a easy solution &#8230; just shut down Thunderbird, delete the corresponding .msf file [...]]]></description>

mod_auth_pam was the solution for the users with a login &#8230; and standard &#8216;htpasswd&#8217; access was the answer for the other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Word of advice &#8230; with a few exceptions, there is absolutely no need for most organizations to implement backup MX&#8217;s.  In fact, if they are not setup and managed very carefully, they can cause significant harm to an organization.
In the past week I&#8217;ve had two people on my mailing lists get their subscriptions suspended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can disable the ipv6 module by adding or changing /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias net-pf-10 off

After a reboot it should be gone. 
Note: I only know that this works with Fedora Core 2 and higher.
