My Java version is the latest. There appears to be no indication that this program requires 64bit Java (I'm running 32bit) since I am on Vista 64bit Home Premium. 64bit as it says on Sun site is only if you use the 64bit version of IE which I don't.
My system is hooked up via a Ethernet cable to a DLINK 625 router. Wireless N router. I know that PS3 is not N. I'm not blocking anything I can see the ports are active to and from the router.
I read other threads on the forum by searching and the only one that seems to giving any success is actually running it 'As administrator'. I've tried running it as a service but there doesn't appear to be anyway to get to a configuration panel without re-launching the application. Then on uninstall it doesn't remove the service or the Program Files in the PS3 Media Server folder. To remove the service I ran this in an administrator command prompt..

Be nice to use this program without having to hassle around with it almost every time I reboot. When it works it's fantastic. The only other problem I have is the MP3 media art gets mixed up. Aerosmith for an AC/DC song for example. Hehehe.
Glad to provide whatever information you need if it helps to resolve the problem.
EDIT: I found this thread too but I see no .625 version available.

10 Secrets I Learned at Makeup Artist School
Want the tricks professional makeup artists use without going to makeup school yourself? We went to a makeup academy and got the goods -- see our cheat sheet now
For blue eyes: Since orange is the opposite color of blue, anything with orange in it will make blue eyes stand out more. "It doesn't have to be a blazing sun color -- it just has to have orangey undertones like gold, apricot, or peach," says Prior.
For green eyes: Red is the opposite color of green, which isn't to say you should apply a cherry red-colored eyeshadow to your lids. But you'll help your green eyes pop if you use colors that have red undertones, like deep plums and wine.
For brown eyes: Brown is a neutral color, so any color will work well, says Prior. "But the most standout colors are blue and purple."

Note: You have all been part of groups which have "clicked," and I am sure this summer experience will be like that for you. The following items are those qualities which make a trip especially rewarding and enjoyable. You each have your own unique contributions, and that is also part of the wonder of making new friends while traveling. We're on our way!
1. Good Health -- During the program, it is wise to eat well, get enough sleep, drink lots of water, exercise when possible, watch alcohol intake, and encourage others to be healthy.
2. Upbeat Attitude -- Notice your need for down time and rest. It's important to add to the positive atmosphere of the group. This can mean having a philosophical shrug-of-the-shoulders attitude about plane delays, unforeseen change of plans, lost passports or money, waiting in lines. It's all part of the experience, so try to learn from it without letting it get you down. Support others who need a kind word, gently changing the subject to brighter topics if conversation needs it. Patience and care with someone having a rough time will do wonders.
3. Safety -- You may be visiting some large cities. When going out, it's important that you go with at least one other group-person, especially in the evenings. Have an awareness of whom you can call in an emergency. Keep your wallet and a copy of your passport well-hidden and out of reach (there are sometimes pickpockets).
4. Positive Participation in Group Activities -- These assets are very important for a successful experience: punctuality so that the group can depart for events on time or even ahead of schedule, readiness to enjoy the activities and participate actively, desire to absorb the culture, art and architecture.
5. I am aware of how important it is for me to do my part: good health, upbeat attitude, safety, awareness of others, and positive participation in group activities so that the entire group has a good experience.
"I have learned to be more appreciative of other cultures. I'm more willing to try new things and I'm much more independent and confident from all of these travels."

SANTA CLARA -- This is the way Michael Crabtree has always expected to play, and the way everyone else expected him to play, too.
Like the star he was in college -- dominant, graceful, unavoidable, unstoppable ... and all pointed to this Saturday's playoff game against Green Bay.
"It's not surprising; just a healthy Crabtree," running back Frank Gore said of Crabtree's recent burst of production.
"That's Texas Tech Crabtree."
The last five games certainly have been different from Crabtree's previous 49ers performance level, separated by Crabtree's health, consistency, elusiveness, and his clear connection to new quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
His first 53 NFL games were adequate but unspectacular and were occasionally weighed down by foot and leg injuries.
The last five have been Crabtree as Superman.
He has 35 receptions in those five games, four for touchdowns, and averaged 107.6 yards, which led to Crabtree establishing career highs in receptions (82), receiving yards (1,015) and touchdowns (nine).
On Wednesday, I asked him: Is this production surge partly due to the great chemistry with Kaepernick, who started the last seven games of the regular season?
"Yeah," Crabtree said. "I mean, you see it."
The stats: In the last five games, Kaepernick has targeted Crabtree an average of 11.2 times, almost double his target rate in the previous 11 games.
Crabtree is getting open, Kaepernick is finding him, and the more they do it, the better it has gotten between the two.
To be fair, Crabtree also said that it's just about opportunity and that everybody on offense needs to play well.
And Crabtree makes it clear that he understands the playoffs are a whole other enterprise, and that his performance last postseason didn't meet anybody's standards.
"I feel like I've got a little chip on my shoulder right now and I can't wait to go back out there for the playoffs," Crabtree said. "Big stage, big game for us as an offense and defense and special teams ... as a team, you know?
"I feel like we're just ready to perform."
In the 49ers' two playoff games last season, as the rest of the receiving corps was blighted by injury, Crabtree was a nonfactor.
He had a combined five catches for 28 yards (and one touchdown) in the two playoff games, and just one catch (in five targets) in the loss to the New York Giants.
Crabtree also had three drops in the victory over New Orleans.
Partially as a response, the 49ers signed Mario Manningham and Randy Moss and drafted A.J. Jenkins. But it's playoff time, and the main man is Crabtree, deservedly and as expected.
"I'm really focused on these playoffs, you know, with how bad I did last year," Crabtree said after last Sunday's regular-season finale, while on the podium with Kaepernick.
"In my opinion, I feel like I didn't do what I was supposed to do. Feel like I get another chance."
After the Giants' loss last January, Crabtree said that he just wanted a chance to make plays and that he didn't get the opportunities in that game.
That was taken as a reference to Alex Smith's decision-making, which Crabtree has never really denied. He volunteered a reference to that topic again Wednesday.
"We were just talking about opportunity and I said something about that after the game last year and I meant it, you know?" Crabtree said.
"Because I'm a football player, this is what I do for a living, and I love it. I feel like this year is different. It's a different year."
It has been, especially at the end, a Michael Crabtree kind of year. He has been healthy, he has been productive, and he has been happy.
Now the 49ers are in the playoffs and, if he keeps this up, Crabtree could follow Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens into the franchise's playoff pantheon.
But you have to win -- and be great doing it -- to get to that place. I'm pretty sure Crabtree has always assumed he would.

text: Hey guys! My name is Ashton, and I'm new to the forum, but old to weight loss. I'm a 21 year old kid and I've been trying to lose weight for a long time now but haven't had any long term success. Just a couple of months ago I weighed myself and I was the heaviest I've been in a long time, which was really sad, but also the motivation I needed to get right back into the gym and start losing weight - this time FOR GOOD! I actually started a weight loss blog and challenged myself openly online to lose 100lbs in 6 months, and started off really well, but unfortunately in the last few weeks have lost some momentum and motivation to even get my sneakers on... That's when I started having a read on this forum and lots of others, and seeing so many people out there doing it just like I am, which was what I needed to get me going again! So I just wanted to say hi and hope to see everyone around

Weaver Riser Mount
$ 12.99
Weaver Riser Mount - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Weaver riser mountI bought this item about a week ago for my full metal UTG M4A1 Carbine. i hated having a red dot sight which wasn't tall enough to be above the front sight. So i got this. It's about the size of the entire Weaver rail on the upper receiver and sort of heavy. I really looks amazing on my M4 It's very solid and of extremely high quality Please buy it!!!!!!! Perfect for any Red Dot sight or Low profile scope.
- GoodThis is a great mount. It fits nice and tight on my RIS Carbine. It could be a bit higher. If your gun's RIS/RAS system has a bad case of the wobbles, this mount can be used to link the gap in-between an M4/M16 series rifles upper receiver and its RIS/RAS unit and fix those annoying wobbles. Overall a great buy and definitely worth the money.
pros: solid aluminum
easy to take on and off
will fix wobbles
good price
cons: it could be a bit higher
- Very GoodThere really isn't much to it... This is to raise the rail to see over a front sight. I just bought an Echo 1 M4 Tactical Carbine and I didn't really like the front sights so I bought this riser to allow my scope to zoom over the front site. This is great for the price considering that it is all metal and and screws are very easy to switch.
$15.00 Weaver Riser Mount is a Great Buy!
- great!!i bought this riser for my ECHO 1 STAG ARMS MOD4 aeg. i bought it because i wanted my red dot scope to be above the front sight. and it is great. without this i wouldn't want a red dot scope because the front sight would be blocking my view. i would definitely advise people to get this riser if they want to have a red dot scope with an m4.
- Riser mountThis is a very good purchase if you own a m4 with a carrying handle or any other gun if you can't see the over the front sights. I bought this because I also have the leapers 30mm red dot. It is such a good purchase and it makes my echo 1 m4 commando look so good.
- Why don't you have one?The Leeper Red/Green Dot sight is one of the top selling accessories, this guy should be right behind it!
This is perfect if you have a rail-mounted optic but find that the front sight is in the way on your M4 or whatever else.
- Riser Mount from ShortyUSAI got this for my UTG M4 CPW because my red dot was not tall enough to look over the front iron sight. After putting the riser and my red dot on my gun I looked through my sight, WOW. What a change. It just feels like butter, not only did it allow my red dot to clear my front iron sight, it also has put the red dot in a very ergonomic position that is very comfortable to look through.
- Iron Sights?I bought this mount on 7/26/13. I mounted it on a gun w/ iron sights. I put a Leapers scope on the mount. As I was looking through the scope, and liking the height of it, I noticed I could still use my iron sights, the mount is hollow allowing unimpeded use of the original sights. So if you have iron sights and don't want to loose the use of them and you want a red dot or scope option this is the riser for you.
Pro: .86" riser
solid construction
GREAT anodizing
Cost Effective
Con: a bit long if you have a rear sight mounted
Overall: Great Mount, It does what it is supposed to do. If you need height for your scope or red dot, you need this mount.

The Kitsap Sun reports that prosecution of the now 10-year-old boy was deferred if he met conditions that included writing an apology to the victim, attending counseling, keeping up with school and staying away from weapons.
The boy said he took the gun to school because he felt threatened by classmates. It was in his backpack when it discharged on Feb. 22, 2012, in Bremerton, Wash.
KOMO-TV says the boy addressed the court Thursday, thanking those who have helped him and saying he was "very sorry" for the family of the victim, Amina Kocer-Bowman. She survived.
Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Steve Dixon said he was optimistic he wouldn't see the boy back in court.
The victim's family is suing the Bremerton School District.

Default Calendar: Which Payments Are Due When
The Treasury Department says it could start defaulting on U.S. obligations after Oct. 17. Other estimates suggest it could be weeks until the U.S. reaches that point. Key dates that investors and policy makers are watching:
Oct. 17
What happens: The U.S. will exhaust emergency measures it has used since reaching the $16.7 trillion debt limit in May. By this date, it expects to have only $30 billion of cash and any incoming tax revenue to pay obligations. Early that afternoon, the government rolls over, or replaces, $120 billion in maturing debt.
Why it matters: Missing the publicly established deadline could rattle investors and diminish the appetite for some debt, as the potential for a default draws nearer.
Oct. 22
What happens: The first day the government could start missing payments, according to analysts at the Congressional Budget Office and Bipartisan Policy Center.
Why it matters: Passing this date might be seen in markets as the start of a more serious crisis.
Oct. 23
What happens: $12 billion in Social Security payments due
Why it matters: It is the first of several large upcoming payments. The Obama administration hasn't said publicly whether it is feasible to pay Social Security recipients while skipping other payments.
Oct. 24
What happens: A rollover of at least $93 billion in maturing debt, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Why it matters: Investors could expect higher interest rates on some debt, raising the cost to the U.S.
Oct. 28
What happens: Payment due on $3 billion in federal employees' salaries
Why it matters: The partial government shutdown has created doubts about which employees will be paid and when. A monthlong shutdown is unlikely to delay the date of a U.S. default by more than a couple of days.
Oct. 30
What happens: $2 billion in payments due to Medicaid providers
Why it matters: Missing the payment would cast doubt about the ability to maintain support for the health-care program in the near term.
Oct. 31
What happens: $6 billion interest payment due; rollover of at least $89 billion in maturing debt.
Why it matters: It will test whether the government would prioritize payments to debtholders over other obligations. Oct. 31 is also the last date of CBO's range for when the government would still have cash available to keep paying bills.
Nov. 1
What happens: $55 billion in Medicare, Social Security and military payments due
Why it matters: By this date, the Bipartisan Policy Center estimates the government would have exhausted any remaining reserves and would have to default on other payments.

Cyber Monday Deals From Around the Web
Black Friday has come and gone, finally. Onto the next shopping extravaganza – Cyber Monday, the decidedly safer shopping day of the year.
Online retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy are selling gadgets at discounts steeper than normal — though not every deal is as much of a bargain as the retailers make it out to be.
Realistically, it will be tough to get some of the best gadgets and tech equipment on sale because companies won't have to use discounts to move them. For example, you'll have a tough time finding an iPad Mini deal, because Apple is already selling it about as cheap as it can make it.
That said, here are some top deals from around the Web today — and whether they're actually worth the price. We'll be updating the post throughout the day as new deals appear and disappear:
Wal-Mart has a good Xbox bundle for $159. It doesn't include the Xbox's motion controller, the Kinect, but it does include Skylanders, a positive-rated game that can be a little pricey. The Xbox is likely nearing the end of its life cycle, though there are still a lot of great games for those who are new to the system.
Steam's Autumn Sales end today. Steam has a lot of highly rated games like Dishonored and Batman: Arkham City on sale at pretty steep discounts for PC gamers during its Autumn sales, which end today. Dishonored, a game that came out recently and has a 91 out of 100 score on Metacritic, a review-aggregating site, is half-off.
Some refurbished Canon camera gear is 20% off. Brian Lam at The Wirecutter points out that you can get a lot of really nice camera lenses at a steeper discount than normal. (These aren't cheap to begin with, so the savings could be substantial.)
Square Enix, a top game developer, also has many of its games on sale. Must-buy on this list if you haven't played it yet is Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a first-person shooting-adventure game (it's $15). Several recent releases like Sleeping Dogs are also on sale at pretty good discounts.
Target's Sonos Bundle — includes $100 gift card. Target is giving buyers of the wireless music system a $100 gift card, Lam notes.
Kmart has the 32 Gigabyte Nexus 7 tablet "on sale." The list price for the tablet on Google Play is $249, just like its listing on Kmart.
Microsoft Xbox deals are also basically sold out. The deal it's touting is a $260 bundle with Kinect and Gears of War 3. You can buy Gears of War 3 for about $20 on Amazon. Previously, Microsoft was selling Xbox and Kinect bundles for $200, but they appear to be sold out.
Amazon's Kindle Fire is $30 off. This is a so-so deal, given that it isn't the Kindle Fire HD. Unless your goal is to get a 7-inch piece of glass that can access the Internet, you might want to spring a little bit more for a better tablet. The Kindle Fire HD still costs $199.
Other Goodies
Pretty much every retailer has a kind of landing page for Cyber Monday deals. It's best to check these against each other, but a handy rule of thumb guide as to what's on sale can be found via Decide.com, which lays out when the best time to buy gadgets based on some data.
Here are a few things to note:
- TVs: You're out of luck. "To get the lowest price on a TV, the best time to buy is the week leading up to Black Friday."
- Cameras: Also out of luck. "From point-and-shoots to more sophisticated models for professional photographers, the best time to buy is before Black Friday."
- Laptops. If you're still planning on buying one, you're in luck, but wait a bit. "Mid-December is the best time to buy during the holiday season."

A few comments on my article The perfect network server in issue 17 requested some more in depth follow-up pieces. This is what I hope to be the first of those. It focuses on Exim, the mail transfer agent (MTA), specifically setting it up with spam scanning. It is based on setups I currently use, hosted on Debian GNU/Linux.
This is an intermediate article, I'm going to assume you are familiar with mail delivery technologies and terminology. If you don't know what SMTP, MX records and reverse DNS lookups are, you might like to do a little background reading before coming back to this article. I'll try to stick to a descriptive narrative style but some of it will inevitably involve technical language.
What Exim is not
Exim is a mail transfer agent. It receives messages, usually by SMTP, figures out what to do with them according to its configuration and transfers them to another location based on that information. The new location may be a locally based mailbox, another server or another daemon running on the same box.
Exim does not do POP3, IMAP, shared calendars or make the tea
It does not deliver mail to client machines, and does not handle mail user agent message creation functionality. In short, Exim does SMTP and related stuff. It does not do POP3, IMAP[1], LDAP, shared calendars or make the tea. It's important to note that Exim is not capable of pulling mail: it expects all messages to be delivered to it [2].
Debian Exim packages
Debian has a few packages for Exim. At the time of writing the current major version is 4. The key packages to install are
exim4-config and one of the two
exim4-daemon-? packages. If you are installing a brand new server, then you can install Exim as a task during the Debian installation stage (see The perfect network server for information on that). If you already have a Debian server then you can install it using
tasksel install mail-server or with your favourite package manager.
The two Exim4 daemon packages within Debian called
exim4-daemon-light and
exim4-daemon-heavy. Installing either will install the
exim4-base package as a dependency but not
exim4-config. So, you should install
exim4-config as well as it comes in handy.
The light daemon package is a perfectly adequate Exim install but leaves out things like SQL data lookups, virus/spam scanning integration and Secure Password Authentication SMTP. All of those are included in the "heavy" daemon and, as you'll want to do spam scanning, you'll need it. Note that tasksel, and thus the Debian installer, will install exim4-daemon-light but you can replace it simply by installing the heavy package afterwards. So, after all that,
apt-get install exim4-daemon-heavy exim4-config does the trick.
Exim initial configuration
I'm not aware of any GUI tools to configure Exim, beyond address and account management. I started a fairly long debate on the necessity of server GUIs in the last article, but as they say, "write what you know"... so I'll stick to configuring Exim via the shell.
Having installed exim4-config, you might as well put it to good use
Having installed exim4-config, you might as well put it to good use. To use exim-config, run (either as root or sudo) the command
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. I won't detail every step of this because each has decent explanatory text within--and I'd take up most of the article installing Exim. Here are a few pointers on the latter steps.
Mailbox format
The Exim local_delivery transport is used to deliver messages to local mailboxes. By default that is in mbox format. There is an option to use the popular Maildir format, which you can set here. I prefer Maildir, so I choose to use it here. For a discussion on which is best I suggest you put your flame-proof suit on and hit Google or add a comment. Briefly, mbox stores all messages in a single text file. Maildir stores each message as an individual file within sub-directories of your main maildir. An advantage of Maildir is that it doesn't require file locking, so there are fewer delays.
Single or multiple config files
The next step is, as far as I know, unique to Debian (and its derivatives). You can choose to have the various routers and transports within separate config files or all lumped in one file. The former is the more usual Debian way of doing things, the latter is more common outside of the Debian world view. If you have experience of Exim on other distributions then go for the latter, otherwise the former may help you find things better. Both types will contain the same configuration options--just in different files. I have used mutiple files and refer to them here. If you choose a single file then all your configuration options will be found in
The automatically generated configuration will create a perfectly usable Exim server: any local user will be able to have mail delivered to their mailbox by Exim ready for to be picked up. What it won't do as yet is any spam scanning. I'll look at spam scanning now. The traditional anti-spam approach for GNU/Linux is SpamAssassin. What's good is that v4.50 Exim has a built-in interface for SpamAssassin. This was formerly the exiscan_acl plugin.
SpamAssassin requires you to enable it before it will run
Once installed (e.g.
apt-get install spamassassin), SpamAssassin requires you to enable it before it will run. Edit
/etc/default/spamassassin and set
ENABLE = 1. You can also have SpamAssassin's rules updated on a nightly basis by setting
CRON = 1 in the same file. Once you've done that, you can start the spamd daemon with
/etc/init.d/spamassassin start.
By default SpamAssassin listens on port 783. If you install exim4-daemon-heavy, Exim will be already set to look for it on that port. If your SpamAssassin listens on a different port you should change the setting in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options accordingly.
Access Control Lists (ACLs)
You need to tell Exim how and when to use SpamAssassin. This can be done either in a router (which is run on messages after they've been received), or within an Access Control List (ACL). I'll do it within an ACL. ACLs are run against messages during SMTP sessions. Exim usually runs an ACL during the SMTP RCPT command and one after DATA command. Spam checking is generally made on the body, so you need to edit the latter ACL. This assumes SpamAssassin is installed and running. The settings we need to change are within the
/etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/40_exim4-config_check_data. Uncomment and amend the default setting as follows:
warn spam = Debian-exim condition = ${if <{$message_size}{100k}{1}{0}} message = X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\ X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int\n\ X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar\n\ X-Spam_report: $spam_report
This ACL runs every message below 100k in size through SpamAssassin as it is received. The 100k limit eases the server load by not checking larger messages with attachments that are more likely to contain malware than spam. The ACL adds some additional headers to the message defining the spam "score". I will use these in filters later.
Rejecting suspect spam
This configuration will warn you about problems, but will still relay suspicious messages. Why not deny relaying to them? It's certainly possible to have the ACL reject messages above a certain threshold. I'm not sure that this is necessarily a good idea though.
SpamAssassin is good at its job but it will produce false positives
SpamAssassin is good at what it does but it will produce false positives. In particular I've found badly written and configured HTML e-mail newsletters to be an issue. Whilst it's tempting to shut out such messages, it may not be practical for your users. It is perhaps better to accept the message with an additional header and act upon that later. To do that in Exim you use filters.
Filtering messages
Many clients allow you to setup a filter to detect and examine a header. You could, for example, set a client-filter to check the X-Spam-Score header for a value above 9.9 and dump any messages that match directly in the client's trash or a separate spam folder. Your users may feel slightly better for not seeing higher scoring messages though. Even when client-side filters work, many have found that reducing the amount of delivered spam goes down well with users.
Exim has an extensive filtering system which can be used by individual users on messages delivered to them or globally on all messages relayed by the server. The latter is a system filter and you can have one per Exim installation. Specify the location of your system filter within any of the main config files. I put mine at the top of the
/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options. Add something similar to this:
system_filter = "/etc/exim4/system.filter" system_filter_user = Debian-exim system_filter_group = Debian-exim system_filter_pipe_transport = address_pipe system_filter_file_transport = address_file system_filter_reply_transport = address_reply
The filter itself is a series of conditions and resulting actions. Here's a sample condition for a system filter:
if $h_X-Spam_score_int is above 99 and foranyaddress $recipients ($thisaddress contains "@mydomain.com") save /var/mail/suspect_spam mail to $thisaddress subject "[ SPAM Witheld ] $h_subject:" from "Company Mail Server <[email protected]>" text "This Message is sent automatically by e-mail software, please do not reply to it\n\nThe server suspects that a message sent to you by $h_From: is spam. It scored : $h_X-Spam_score: .\n The spam report is:\n $h_X-Spam-report: \n.\nThe original message has not been sent to you, but stored on the server.\n If you were expecting it, please contact your system administrator with the reference\n $message_id finish endif
The second line will loop through all the recipient (To, CC, BCC) addresses for one that contains mydomain.com. This is done to ensure we only run this on inbound messages. Once matched, it appends the original message into a local file and sends a notification to the intended recipient, rewriting the subject. Note the use of the other additional headers in the notification text.
Now you need to handle messages scoring between 4.9 and 9.9. You can do this with another condition which rewrites the Subject header.
if $h_X-Spam_score_int is below 99 and $h_X-Spam_score_int is above 49 and foranyaddress $recipients ($thisaddress contains "@mydomain.com") then headers add OldSubject "$h_Subject" headers remove "Subject" headers add Subject "[ SPAM ] $h_OldSubject headers remove "OldSubject" finish endif
Header manipulation happens on-the-fly in Exim filters; so you needed to save the existing subject before using it in the new one.
Final words
Exim is a little like chess: straightforward to learn, a lifetime to master. SpamAssassin is really the same , so coming up with a comprehensive guide article that covers all questions is almost impossible. What I have tried to do is give some introductory guidance on configuring both on Debian GNU/Linux. Think of it as whetting your appetite. If you are looking to deploy an Exim server with SpamAssassin and other features I've not had room to mention, such as virtual users, virus and malware scanning etc. I would suggest you do some more reading before you start. The Exim website has comprehensive documentation but is perhaps not best suited to the beginner. A better place to start will be http://www.exim-new-users.co.uk.
[1] Have a look at something like Courier IMAP,Cyrus, Qpopper et al for POP3 or IMAP servers.
[2] Try fetchmail for something that pulls mail from another server and feeds it into Exim for local delivery. The two work very well together.
Can i use the above as a
Can i use the above as a global spam filter for virtual mysql users?
# Exim filter
if $h_subject: contains "{SPAM?}"
save /var/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/.Junk\ E-mail/cur/
...to work with my transport below.
driver = appendfile
directory = /var/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/
user = mail
group = mail
mode = 0660
yes but maybe not as you think
In Exim a global filter (one that is applied to every inbound message) is called a system filter. The one you've shown above would work if placed in a system filter file and you called it using the system filter directive as shown on page 3 of my article. (It would also work if placed in a .forward file but then only for that one user).
As your filter checks the domain and local_part of the recipient envelope (calculated from the "To:" header of the message), the fact that the account is a virtual one is irrelevant. The transport is irrelevant too as the save command won't use it. It uses the appendfile driver but independently of the transport.
A couple of things about your filter though. It will save any message with that string in the subject into the junk folder. This includes ones that perhaps got inadvertently flagged by some other companies' mail system (with the same string) and they've since replied to you. In my expereince it's better to add a header to indicate that your server thinks it's spam and detect that, rather than do your detection on an arbitrary string in the subject. This is what I do in the article, it's just the resulting action that differs.
Secondly you'll probably confuse matter saving to the "cur" folder below .Junk\ Email as it'll show up as a directory in the user's mail folders. If this is an Imap store then I'd save it to ".Junk\ Email/" and be done with it. If it's POP then don't even bother saving it to t separate folder if you want the user to see it, let the POP client do that bit.
Hope this helps

Thanks for such a quick reply....
That does help explain things. But at the moment:
# Exim filter
if $h_subject: contains "{SPAM?}"
save /var/mail/${domain}/${local_part}/.Junk\ E-mail/
doesnt work. Firstly it complained at the space between .Junk\ Email
then when i changed to .Junk it didnt seem to do anything with this spam mail. Could it be that my spamassassin isnt tagging the mail until after my system_filter is called? Or am i doing something else wrong?

Rick Perry Says He 'Stepped Right In It' With Comments on Gays
A day after directing Texas law enforcement officials to begin expanded operations on the Mexico border, Republican Gov. Rick Perry criticized the Obama administration for not adequately addressing the country's border security problems and said he expects the federal government to pay for the surge initiative.
Speaking at a Christian Science Monitor event Thursday afternoon in Washington, D.C., Mr. Perry called border security the administration's "clear constitutional responsibility." A statement announcing the start of surge operations on Wednesday said law-enforcement officials are authorized to spend about $1.3 million per week.

The directive orders the state Department of Public Safety to increase its levels of law enforcement along the border to support local officers and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Mr. Perry, who ran for the GOP nomination in 2012 and who has expressed interest in running again in 2016, also addressed recent comments in which he compared alcoholism to homosexuality.
The governor said he had flubbed those remarks, made in response to a question on whether homosexuality is a disorder. "I got asked about an issue, and instead of saying, 'You know what, we need to be a really respectful and tolerant country and get back to talking about, whether you're gay or straight you need to be having a job, and those are the focuses I want to be involved with,' instead of getting — which I did, I readily admit, I stepped right in it," he said.
Speaking last week at an event in San Francisco, Mr. Perry said people might be genetically coded to be gay, but could choose not to be. "Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that," he said. "I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way."
On Thursday, he also emphasized the need for the Republican Party to "become the party of big ideas" and not to get distracted and divided by social issues. Republicans must focus on creating jobs as their top priority, he added. "If we create a climate in this country where you're going to have a job, and a good job, and a good paying job' — if we do that, then I think we'll be successful," he said.
Asked whether his age might be an issue should he choose to run—Mr. Perry will be 66 in 2016—the governor quipped, "66 is the new 46." He added that Americans would be looking for an experienced candidate after watching the "young, inexperienced" President Barack Obama "bumble" in the White House.
In recent months, some Republican strategists have sought to highlight the age of Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. Mrs. Clinton is three years older than Mr. Perry.
Regardless of whether he decides to run for president again, Mr. Perry said he wants to remain involved in politics after his term as governor ends this year. (He is not running for re-election.) "I'm not going to ride off into the sunset," he said.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, March 4, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta commissioners are under the microscope for doing business on the side with the city. Documents show one commissioner alone has made more than $200,000 on city jobs.
Commissioner Grady Smith admits his company has been involved and that's a direct violation of the city's ethics code.
"Follow the money," Smith said.
These documents show that green paper trail leads right back to Commissioner Smith's company, Smith Brothers Mechanical Contractors.
"Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law, but I righted it when I found out," Smith said.
Recently that's what he told us when he admitted to doing work on city contracts.
"There's been a lot more money received under contracts than what was originally spoken of," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
"We received a copy of the local small business report. It's prepared every month showing all the subcontractors on the project," said Director of Augusta Utilities Tom Weidmeier.
"As a subcontractor, we're so far down the food chain, architects, engineers, project managers, and then it's dispersed to different subs," Smith said.
The city code says no official should participate directly or indirectly in the procurement of a contract.
Now commissioners must decide the next step.

BURLINGAME -- Delegates arriving at this weekend's California Republican Party convention Friday seemed as determined as mountaineers at the base of K2 -- but still searching for a sturdy climbing rope.
The state GOP has had a few local electoral victories recently but is still trying to bounce back from years of declining voter registration and relevance. Though the incumbent Democratic governor and Democratic-controlled Legislature enjoy rising ratings, Republicans seek both to expose their flaws and to court new voters -- especially from minority communities -- to help drive California rightward again.
San Francisco's Harmeet Dhillon, the state party's vice chairwoman, said the convention's "rebuild, renew, reclaim" theme is about renewing "the enthusiasm of our grass-roots volunteers and supporters -- and rebuilding "the nuts and bolts" in the wake of candidates "who parachute in to the top of the ticket" without being tested in smaller races.
Paging Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina.
"We don't have a deep bench in our party after a few years of decimation," she added.
But California "is not going to be reclaimed in 2014," Dhillon acknowledged. "We're realistic."
Instead, she said, the GOP will play a longer game, exploiting Democratic divisions and weaknesses over things like high-speed rail, oil and gas fracking, marijuana legalization and gun control.
The Democrats' one-party rule in Sacramento has left them "out of touch," she said.
"I can't say that the constitutional offices are a focus for us this year," she said. Instead, the GOP will concentrate on legislative races, spending heavily in specific regions such as Sacramento and other parts of the Central Valley, as well as Ventura County. "And if you're not in one of those areas -- good luck."
The three-day convention will be a maelstrom of caucus meetings, receptions and workshops with such topics as "Getting Out the Vote in 2014" and "The Wonderful World of Data." Candidates will press the flesh in search of contributions and endorsements. And if any babies are present, rest assured they'll be kissed.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus was set to speak Friday night, and former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas -- former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee -- will speak Saturday.
A prime rhetorical target will be Gov. Jerry Brown, who according to some polls boasts record-high approval ratings and had amassed a $17 million campaign war chest by the start of the year -- and has raised at least $2.4 million more since.
The GOP's gubernatorial alternatives include Tim Donnelly, a firebrand conservative assemblyman from San Bernardino County who has suffered from anemic fundraising and whose campaign manager quit Wednesday after strategic disagreements. Neel Kashkari, a more moderate former U.S. Treasury Department official and asset manager, raised about $1.2 million since entering the race in January but might take heat for his oversight of Wall Street's TARP bailout and for -- gasp! -- voting for Barack Obama in 2008.
Andrew Blount, an entrepreneur and mayor of Laguna Hills, entered the governor's race in late February and so far is the only major contributor ($12,000) to his campaign. And then there's Glenn Champ, a Fresno County businessman whose website says he "represents a new breed of Christian soldier moving forward in the army of the lord, on the highway of righteousness, stomping on the devil's head, with a new song of righteousness in our hearts."
Each of the four candidates will deliver a 10-minute speech Sunday. But they were added to the agenda only this past week, sparking speculation that state GOP Chairman Jim Brulte had hoped to avoid airing an ideological divide that might play badly beyond the party's own walls.
It's reminiscent of the 2002 state Republican convention in San Jose, where former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan -- a moderate whom unpopular Democratic incumbent Gov. Gray Davis clearly didn't want to face in the general election -- was smack-talked by former Gov. George Deukmejian and booed by delegates during a debate. Riordan lost the primary to the more conservative Bill Simon, whom Davis defeated that November. Less than a year later, Davis was recalled from office.
Back then, Republicans were 35.2 percent of California's registered voters; today they're 28.7 percent, while Democrats have lost just one percentage point in the same 14-year period. Democrats now hold a two-thirds voting majority in the Assembly, but lost it at least in the state Senate recently as two senators took paid leaves to battle serious criminal charges.
The GOP wants to rub salt in those wounds and already feels buoyed by a few electoral victories in the past year: Andy Vidak's win last July in the Central Valley's 16th Senate District, and Kevin Faulconer's win last month in San Diego's mayoral election. Faulconer's victory will be the subject of a workshop Saturday morning.
Yet those wins might not have been solid indicators of a resurgent state GOP.
The 16th Senate District seat came open when Democrat Michael Rubio, elected in 2010, resigned early last year to become an oil lobbyist -- perhaps presaging an easier road for a Republican successor.
And although Faulconer won the mayor's office in a city with a 13-point Democratic voter registration edge, he prevailed in a low-turnout special election to replace disgraced Democrat Bob Filner, who resigned amid a sexual harassment scandal.

Improved productivity
On a single-rotary tablet press from Fette, the design of the compression stations, drive, turret, and tablet discharge cuts changeover time and improves productivity. For example, turret removal requires no tools and takes only 15 minutes. In addition, upper and lower compression rollers and pressure and position settings adjust automatically by means of commands from the operator interface; operators do not need to make manual adjustments after a turret change. The turret also features a coded tablet scraper and coded filling-cam detection as well as a central, multifunction connector for oil, air, and electricity. Equipped with up to 51 stations, the system produces up to 367,000 tablets per hour. The rotor design also supports quick changeover, maximizes yields, and minimizes product loss. The machine is clad in easily detached, FDA-certified, high-performance polymer panels and offers 360-degree access.Geometrically optimized surfaces and an integral vacuum system expedite cleaning. User-friendly operator interface provides swift access to the machine's most important functions via 12 pictogram buttons (FE35 Tablet Press, Fette Compacting America).
A high-performance liquid-filling machine from Cozzoli Machine combines a small footprint with peristaltic pump and single-use technologies. Single-use elements eliminate cleaning, cut costs, hasten setup, and reduce waste. Designed for Class 100 cleanrooms, the fillers rely on existing overhead laminar air flow and may be specified with two, four, six, or eight heads (VR2PP Series liquid fillers, Cozzoli Machine).
A single-use filling system from Filamatic equips a benchtop filler, compatible with a piston, peristaltic, gear, or lobe pump, with a peristaltic pump. In this configuration, fluid flows in a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. Since the pumped fluid contacts only the inside surface of the disposable tubing, cleanup is quick and easy. The peristaltic pump works best with moderate to large (50 mL to >1100 mL) fill volumes and achieves +/- 1% accuracy (AdaptaFil semiautomatic benchtop filler, Filamatic).

With no resolution in sight for the fiscal cliff, other problems are starting to arise as Treasury Secretary Tim Geither announced the debt ceiling will be reached by Monday, Dec. 31.
Geither explained in a letter to Congress that once the debt ceiling is reached, the Treasury Department may take "extraordinary measures" to continue functioning. However this is only a temporary measure. The debt ceiling will eventually be reached if no action is taken to raise the ceiling.
The "extraordinary measures" will temporarily reduce spending. Geither estimated that with certain measures, including suspending investments and potentially holding off paying benefits to certain government employees, could save as much as $200 billion dollars.
Although this could save money, it will not avert reaching the ceiling.
That will likely happen in two months, though Geither explained in his letter that it is impossible to say how long the measures could hold off reaching the debt ceiling.
Once the debt ceiling is reached, if Congress does not take legislative action to raise the debt ceiling, the Treasury Department will not have the authority to make government payments, including Social Security.
"Once the extraordinary measures have been exhausted, however, the U.S. Government will be limited in its ability to make payments across the government," the letter read.
If the country falls off the fiscal cliff, a mass of spending cuts will go into effect, along with tax increases. However, this will likely allow the Treasury Department more time before the debt ceiling is reached.

Mom delivers her own baby on way to Pa. hospital
Published: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 12:01 p.m.

CLAIRTON, Pa. (AP) — A woman says she delivered her own baby while her mother was driving her to a Pittsburgh hospital.
Heather Payo tells WPXI-TV that her mother was driving from Clairton, Pa., to Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC in Pittsburgh on Tuesday when Payo realized she wasn't going to arrive in time.
Payo says she ripped off her pants and delivered the infant, Jessica Rose, by reclining the front passenger seat. Heather Payo and her mother, Robin Payo, wrapped the baby in a flannel shirt before reaching the hospital.
Robin Payo says when they got to the hospital, someone said, "Oh, someone's having a baby." She says she replied, "No, we had a baby."
The next thing they know, Payo says, "Six guards and 20 people wearing scrubs came out."

Ed Koch's tombstone engraved with wrong birth date
Published: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 7:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 7:39 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch meticulously planned his own funeral, but his tombstone has the wrong birth date.
NBC 4 New York (http://bit.ly/11kapIO ) reported Monday that the headstone lists his birth year as 1942 instead of 1924.
The engraver, Tommy Flynn, of Flynn Funeral and Cremation Memorial Services, says it was "an inadvertent error" and that he feels "terrible." He says he'll correct it.
Koch was buried in Trinity Church cemetery in Washington Heights after dying of congestive heart failure in February at 88.
The Democratic mayor is credited with helping save New York from its economic crisis in the 1970s and leading it to financial rebirth.

BELPRE - Several hours before the ball dropped in Times Square, the arrival of 2013 already had been celebrated in Australia, South Korea, Russia and ... Belpre?
The Belpre Senior Center held a "Countdown to Noon" on the last day of 2012 to give area seniors an opportunity to mark the end of one year and start of another with music and fellowship at a reasonable hour.
"I'll be in the chair (at midnight), but I'll probably be (snoring)," laughed Belpre resident Frances Hagedorn, 92, finishing her statement with a sound effect rather than the word itself.

Vicki Boggs, of Memories with Miss Vicki, leads a song prior to the countdown to noon Monday for 50 guests at the Belpre Senior Center.
Other area residents planned to gather with friends at local hotels and restaurants or family at home for the occasion, which many see as a hopeful time.
"Everyone likes a new beginning," said Sherri Patterson, 42, of Belpre. "It's a chance to change your life and help others and make a difference."
Patterson planned to welcome 2013 with a soundtrack provided by local band Hit Parade at the Adelphia Music Hall in downtown Marietta.
Beverly resident Marsha Quimby, 61, said she's looking forward to another year of watching her grandchildren grow up, as well as the changes that might come in 2013.
"My husband may be retiring, and I'm getting near retirement age, so we're just kind of waiting to see what the new year brings us, hopefully good stuff," she said.
Quimby and her husband planned to stay up to watch the ball drop on TV.
"(We've) always done it since we've been married, so it's just kind of a tradition to see the old year go out and the new year come in," she said.
They'll also partake of the traditional New Year's dish of sauerkraut, although Quimby said she's not personally a fan, so she'll only eat a tad for good luck.
Barlow resident Ashley Yost, 30, said her family would eat pork today, another New Year's tradition - although she's not sure of the meaning behind it.
"I think that's what you're supposed to do," she said.
According to www.smithfield.com, some think pork is a good-luck food for New Year's because pigs root forward and people should do the same. Sauerkraut is often paired with it because they complement each other, plus cabbage, from which sauerkraut is made, represents paper money in German and Pennsylvania Dutch traditions.
Yost and her children - ages 11, 7 and 3 - expected to be up for the official start of 2013 on the East Coast, which she expects the children to welcome by banging pots and pans together, another long-standing New Year's tradition.
No one at the Belpre Senior Center Monday clanged any cookware, but there were plenty of waves, cheers and whistles as emcee Vicki Boggs, of Memories with Miss Vicki, counted down to noon then invited the 50 people in attendance to join her in a rendition of "Auld Lang Syne." Eleven-year-old Waterford resident Josie Boyd followed with an a cappella performance of "Amazing Grace," then senior center chaplain Donna Jean Williamson offered a prayer that those in attendance not dwell on the events of the past.
"We have to leave the old year behind and remember that the new year is the present," said Williamson, 78.
This was the second or third time the Belpre center played host to a noon New Year's countdown. In addition to regulars at the center's Tuesday and Thursday luncheon, the event drew guests like Marietta resident Claudia Hensel- who treated the crowd to the song "Oh, Frost" in Russian - and Boyd's parents, Don and Jean Boyd of Waterford.
"I think it's good that people can get together and have fun and laugh a little bit," said Don Boyd, 74.
Parkersburg resident Peggy Perine, 73, said she was glad to celebrate the new year without going out late, when she would probably be asleep anyway. She said she's expecting 2013 to be a good year because the numbers are in her favor. It will be the 100th anniversary of her father's birth and "my birthday is on the 13th, so 13's a lucky number for me," she said.
Meanwhile, Belpre resident Dick Taylor, 69, is confident the calendar change will be a positive one.
"It just means the next year is going to be better," he said. "They always get better."

Forgive me for being a newbie here but I have not found any useful information that would help me with my problem so far.
I have a 1.42GHz G4 Mac Mini running Mac OS X 10.5.7 acting as server for basically everything on my network. On a connected HDD, I have all my movies, dumped as DVDs (not ripped to video files). I use VLC to open folder in Windows with no problem and use open disc on Mac to load them with no problem. On a whim, I decided to look into PS3 media server to see if the PS3 could play them too. The server is running on the Mac and the PS3 and Mac see each other. The PS3 can even go to the folder I chose to share and it sees the folders for the movies. But when I go into the folder for the movie, no VIDEO_TS folders show, no files. It just says nothing is there.
What needs to be tweaked for the PS3 to see the folder so it can be loaded and played?

The Watonwan County Board met Tuesday, Oct. 2, with all district members present. Minutes were approved as written. An amendment which dropped the final bill on the agenda from discussion was passed unanimously because Environmental Services Officer Bruce Johnson was not able to attend the meeting and therefore could not present the grant agreement.
The commissioners continued business as usual, first passing a bill authorizing Watonwan County's participation in the planning process and execution of a sub-grant agreement which will make the county eligible to receive hazard mitigation assistance grants as they become available.
The plan includes an assessment in collaboration with the federal emergency management agency (FEMA) into various hazards that threaten the county and a mitigation strategy which identifies specific projects and cost.
Next a request for a public meeting was granted unanimously by the commissioners. The public meeting will discuss a 15 year city/county tax abatement for the construction of six twin home builidings in St. James.
Each unit has an estimated taxable market value of $200,000 for a total of $1.2 million.
"The proposed project would meet a growing need for housing in the community," said EDA Director and Planning and Zoning Coordinator Molly Westman.
"The request will set some precedent if passed, as prior requests for tax abatement have only previously been approved for industrial and commercial use," said Commissioner Mark Rentz.
The public hearing will be held Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 9:15 a.m.
Public Works Director Roger Riser updated the board on the most recent developments in the Watline trail from St. James to Ormsby.
The construction of the trail has been tentatively scheduled for 2015-2016 but some financial hurdles may push the completion of the project back to 2017.
These complications surround the intersection of State Highway 4 and State Highway 60. The future trail has been drawn to run along State Highway 4 at the intersection, however, due to budget restrictions exactly how the trail will be placed along the road is not yet known.
Initial estimates indicate the total county cost would come in over budget. The Watonwan County Board tabled the discussion to pursue further inquiries and will resume the discussion at the Nov. 6 meeting.
All training and personnel requests were approved by the commissioners after a short discussion over the possible restructuring of training requirements.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – A 15-foot baseline jumper by sophomore Chance Armstrong with 4.6 seconds left gave No. 25 Cumberlands a 73-71 win over No. 3 Pikeville Saturday afternoon in the O. Wayne Rollins Center.
For Armstrong, it marked only his second field goal of the game The Mt. Washington product finished with four points and four rebounds in most of 17 minutes of action.
