POP3: unable to scan $HOME/Maildir?

Ok I run qmail here and funny thing was outlook wasnt logging into it. Thought I had been hacked or something. To see what the problem was I telnetted into my qmail box using

telnet mail.farrowcomputing.com 110

port 110 is the port designated to pop3, then put in your username

user  “username”

then password

pass “password”

and on my system was then seeing “Unable to scan $HOME/Maildir” looked into it and had 6000 spam messages, now the limit I have for mails is quite low so you either need to up it or delete some of the messages from the linux box running qmail or you will need to put the softlimit up, ie.

Try to increase the softlimit for pop3d which is found in your pop3d run script such as /var/qmail/service/pop3d/run (for e.g.): 

blah blah… softlimit -m 2000000 to higher value.

 

Fixed Subtext View Picture Size Problem

Right I have fixed the view picture size problem in subtext as it was really bugging me.  I have removed the width and height settings so that it either defaults to the size of the picture, or you can override the settings using css now.

The new binaries with the change in are located here 

 http://www.paulfarrow.com/download/dottextpicupdate.zip.

You will then need to override the css in your options css override as follows:

.imageFrame img { width: 505px; height: 480px }

It does make the picture look a bit squashed but its in the correct place, play around with the sizes until you have what you want…..

Let me know of any problems that I have overlooked.  Take a look at the viewer here http://www.paulfarrow.com/gallery/2.aspx

 

My Wiki and Subtext

After much playing around I decided not use the Wiki at this point.  Its very good and I could see a use for it, if and when I start a new project it would be like a living notepad.

My initial thoughts were to have the Wiki as the main home page and the blog off of that but what I hadnt figured is the security point of view.  I noticed that Scott Water has a login page to change the stuff which doesnt seem to be there as standard in the flexwiki package, I guess once I have more time (which is never) I will investigate to see what I can do.

I also put this LuxInteriorDark skin on the site.  Looks quite nice, the links for the rss feeds werent quite right so had to sought that out, not sure if the author realises that problem or not.  That was the little xml images had the wrong links out of the install zip.

Would be interested to know what people think, perhaps some feedback on this please.

One thing I dont like is the white background’s in the contact/feedback control so will be addressing that shortly.
