Some time ago I blogged about configuring Postfix to relay outgoing email through your gmail account. One of the commenters left a question asking how to achieve the same result, but use unique relays for each account attempting to send email. I’ve only just now been able to find time to write [...]
I’ve got a few servers in different places around the country and try to monitor them using the logwatch utility. One problem that I’ve run into however is that a few of these servers are not able to send their logwatch emails to me, based on email restrictions by the ISPs. I spent some [...]
I was just setting up Evolution again and went through the steps of setting up my personal account and my Ubuntu account. I’ve heard some people run into problems doing this considering the Ubuntu account, on the incoming side, is bound to your default address in Launchpad, but you still need to send mail out. [...]
I set up Evolution again today to tie into my gmail IMAP but I notice the performance is terribly slow. Does anyone else have this same issue? I’ve been using webmail for some time now, is that comparing apples to oranges? If anyone has any tips on speeding up Evolution when tied [...]

Some of you may remember that I went on a Mutt kick there a while back and gave up for a few different reasons. I have been using Thunderbird 2.x series since, which has been pretty good, but I still think all mail clients suck. I don’t know exactly what it is about [...]
Since my exodus yesterday from Mutt I have installed and am playing with Thunderbird 2 for email. So far I don’t hate it like I did 1.5, but we’re still in the test stages. We’ll see how it all turns out. In any event I wanted to share with you how I [...]
To update based on my earlier post concerning use of the Mutt email client I wanted to share some of the quick tips that I’ve learned. Now, Mutt can be very complex and very granular in its configuration. This is by no means a comprehensive overview of Mutt usage. I mainly want to point out [...]
I’ve decided over the past few days that I wanted to learn more about and start using Mutt for my mail client. After reading numerous pages and seeing dozens of examples of .muttrc files I’ll say that I’m still a bit lost on what I should and shouldn’t be setting. For those of you that [...]
