Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Dovecot is an excellent choice for both small and large installations. It's fast, simple to set up, requires no special administration and it uses very little memory.
When sending mail, the Postfix SMTP client can look up the remote SMTP server hostname or destination domain (the address right-hand part) in a SASL password table, and if a username/password is found, it will use that username and password to authenticate to the remote SMTP server. And as of version 2.3, Postfix can be configured to search its SASL password table by the sender email address.
Note : If you install Postfix/Dovecot mail server you will ONLY be able to send mail within your network. You can only send mail externally if you install SASL authentication with TLS. As otherwise you get "Relay Access Denied" error.
Install Postfix MTA (Mail Transfer Agent)
Use the following command to install postfix in debian
#aptitude install postfix postfix-tls libsasl2 sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules popa3d
During installation, postfix will ask for few questions like name of server and answer those questions by entering your domain name and select Internet site for postfix.
Postfix configuration file is located at:/etc/postfix/main.cf. You can edit this file using popular text editor vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
Restart Postfix Server using the following command
#/etc/init.d/postfix restart
Install Dovecot
Dovecot is POP3/IMAP server which needs MTA like Postfix to work properly.
#aptitude install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-common
Dovecot configuration file is located at: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Before we proceed we need to make some changes with dovecot configuration file. Double check the following entries in the file if the values are entered properly.
Edit the dovecot configuration file using the following command
#vi /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# specify protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
protocols = pop3 imap
# uncomment this and change to no.
disable_plaintext_auth = no
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
Now, create a user to test our pop3 mail with outlook:
#adduser user_name
Note: Always create a separate user to test your mail or ftp.
Restart Dovecot using the following command
#/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Now, you can use your outlook express to test whether your new mail server is working or not. Just enter username: with password in outlook.
Remember you will NOT be able to send email outside your network, you will be only be able to send within your domain or local network. If you attempt to send email you get "relay access denied" error from outlook express. However, you should have no problems in receiving your email from outlook. Inorder to send email external email you will need to configure SASL authentication as described below.
Configure SASL Authentication with TLS
SASL Configuration + TLS (Simple authentication security layer with transport layer security) used mainly to authenticate users before sending email to external server, thus restricting relay access. If your relay server is kept open, then spammers could use your mail server to send spam. It is very essential to protect your mail server from misuse.
Let us set up SMTP authentication for our users with postfix and dovecot.
Edit the postfix configuration file /etc/postfix/main.cf and enter the few lines to enable authentication of our users
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = yourdomain.com
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
postfix does a chroot so it can't communicate with saslauthd.
#rm -r /var/run/saslauthd/
#mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
#ln -s /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd /var/run
#chgrp sasl /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
#adduser postfix sasl
On the Dovecot side you also need to specify the dovecot authentication daemon socket. In this case we specify an absolute pathname. Refer to this postfix manual here
Edit /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file
#vi /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Look for the line that starts with auth default, before that insert the lines below.
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
userdb passwd {
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
Now, rename previous auth default to auth default2. If you dont rename this then dovecot server will give you error like multiple instances of auth default.
Now restart all the following components of mail server
#/etc/init.d/saslauthd restart
#/etc/init.d/postfix restart
#/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Test whether your mail server works or not with your outlook express. Configure a user with a user name (without @domain) and make sure that you select my server requires authentication. Under settings select same as incoming mail server
1. If you dont enable My server requires authentication in outlook you cannot send emails to external recipients and you get relay access denied error.
2. Do not use root login to login to your mail server.
3. Dont forget to create a new user before you authenticate using outlook.
Forwarding Mails
Ever wondered how to forward your mails especially if you are a webmaster managing number of sites. You might need to forward any email sent to your primary email address. Its that easy. Just create a .forward file on your home directory. Insert list of emails addresses separated by commas, where you want to get forwarded.
Login as user and type
echo 'destination_email_address' > .forward
or you can use vi to create .forward file. Just Delete .forward file if you dont want any forwarding.
Installing Squirrel Web Mail
Before installing Squirrel Web Mail you need to make sure you have installed apache2 with php support
#aptitude install apache2
#aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
#aptitude install squirrelmail
Squirrelmail configuration file is located in: /etc/squirrelmail/ folder. By default all settings are preloaded.
# Run squirrelmail configuration utility as ROOT
Now we want to setup to run under apache. Edit apache configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and insert the following line
Include /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf
Restart the webserver using the following command
#/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Access your webmail using the following link
http://yourdomain or server ip/squirrelmail
Create a separate local user and login as a new user.
Mail Server Logs
Always refer to logs located in /var/log/mail.log so that you can identify what the problem is before you can troubleshoot.

In regards to the section on editing dovecot.conf for auth
"auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
userdb passwd {
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
needs to have two more } signs so that it will not fail.
The exact line should be:
"auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
userdb passwd {
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
Caused me many a headache :[
nice catch and i have updated the article
what about to add spamassassin to this configuration? 🙂
yes you can try this http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-filter-spam-with-spamassassin-and-postfix-in-debian.html
Why does Outlook Express fail to work after enabling SASL? Whenever I try to Send/Receive mail, I get a prompt to enter a user name and password that I am assuming is checking for the Outgoing Mail Server authentication. It worked fine with Postfix and Dovecot installed, but after enabling SASL it stopped. I followed this tutorial exactly. Any ideas?
Nevermind, apparently its a problem with Outlook Express, I used Office Outlook and all is well. Good tutorial 😀
I have the same issue like Amras86. Everything worked until SASL enabled. I tried to use Outlook instead of Outlook Express but result is the same (outlook shows me dialog to enter username and password). Help, please!
Thanks a lot.
Well …I've checked and rechecked … It seems to be a problem with the sasldb2 … the log (at /var/log/mail.log) says exactly
"warning: SASL authentication problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or directory"
But the file, of course, is there. That's the problem I see … dk if there is any other.
Now, it's too late, I'm too tired and wanna go to bed.
Hope that the Debian Admin can solve this.
Despite this error, It's a really nice guide, and I'm happy that I've found it.
Thanks! … Hope you answer soon.
I found solution, for your problem, Leonard. Missing two lines in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
Strange, for others works configuration as described in this howto?
Tomas … thanks for the answer.
With the things you added, everything went ok.
I'll leave you some things that happend to me in the process.
The idea of this comments it's to help you make a perfect (or at least the best it can be) guide. Below is the list of the unexpected and unexplained things.
Thanks again for this simple guide.
At the first step, exim4, exim4-base and exim4-config are recomended to
be removed. (I removed them)
At the second step, popa3d is recomended to be removed. (DK for sure, but
I removed it)
Then, when editing /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf it appears
# If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none".
#protocols = imap imaps
and not pop3 pop3s
When restarting dovecot for the first time, It gives you out a warning
saying that it's fixing permissions, I guess that't ok.
When executing rm -r /var/run/saslauthd/ It says that the directory
doesn't exists.
Another kinda warning that appears is
"To enable saslauthd, edit /etc/default/saslauthd and set START=yes"
Changed it to yes
A couple things…
The proper Postfix configuration is given at
and is much the same a Thomas V noted.
Linking *out* of jail is just asking for trouble. The whole reason programs chroot is to (try to) prevent access to "more sensitive" parts of the filesystem.
These two taken in concert suggest that the reason the outlined approach works is that it is using saslauthd, not dovecot's SASL.
Several ways around
Note : If you install Postfix/Dovecot mail server you will ONLY be able to send mail within your network. You can only send mail externally if you install SASL authentication with TLS. As otherwise you get "Relay Access Denied" error.
as well. See
for details beyond the quick outline in
In order to allow mail relaying by authenticated remote SMTP clients:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
On the issue with M$ clients not behaving nicely, the Postfix SASL page covers that as well:
Older Microsoft SMTP client software implements a non-standard version of the AUTH protocol syntax, and expects that the SMTP server replies to EHLO with "250 AUTH=mechanism-list" instead of "250 AUTH mechanism-list". To accommodate such clients (in addition to conformant clients) use the following:
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
your tutorial works beautifully on my system. I'm wondering why i can't use TLS for auth ? since i don't like too much sending plaintext password over the net.
and oh btw, i have to add this two lines in my /etc/postfix/main.cf
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
otherwise even with plain auth, it won't work. thanks a lot for this nice tutorial.
squirrelmail can't send or get email in mydomainlocal
i am install webmail (postfix+dovecot+IMAP+pop3+squirrelmail ) konfigure is ok

help me u solusion
I'm getting this error when trying to send mail…
From the looks of it i need to change permissions, I just don't know which folder etc?
From /var/log/mail.log:

Never mind, solved it 🙂
I have Postfix installed on my etch 4.0r3 server together with (dovecot IMAP and pop3 server), SMTPAuth, and TLS together with squirrelmail as my webmail client and SpamAssassin as my spam filter. None of those apps per se seem to have any direct bearing on my current issue.
When I send an email to an inbox on the server, it arrives just fine. It can be downloaded and read with a mail client or accessed and read online using squirrelmail. However, if I set that inbox up to autoforward all mail it receives to another location on the net using the sendmail/postfix ".forward" file (i.e. the final target email address is not actually ON my server but is the user's private email inbox at their own ISP), I get the message I sent bounced back to me with the following error:
[email protected]
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO::
host mail.hissite.com [184.108.40.206]:
554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied
This is a very common mail scenario for many of my clients. They use an email inbox address on the server with their site name attached but then they want the incoming emails to be forwarded to them at their local ISP.
It appears SMTP is blocking this because it sees it as a mail relay; but that's exaclty how it's supposed to work. Surely there must be some way around this.
Can anyone suggest how the heck I should work around this?
Thank you so much for this writeup! You made this an easy task for me, thank you!
I have a question please..
with the following set up:
– postfix MTA
– Dovecot IMAP server and Dovecot POP3 server
– postfixadmin for web based administration of the mail server
– MySQL 5.0 backend server for managing the user accounts
– apache web server for hosting the mail administration web end, and to host the web mail
– SquirrelMail web mail system
Can I:
1. Allow web access for all
2. restrict connection through outlook to a group of users.
3. be able to manage groups ( for example mailbox quotas)
if someone can help me, can you please send me at [email protected]
I'm stuck with a problem. I can't receive or send mail externally. When I try to send mail I get a prompt for a password and no password is good enough. I've tried the solutions explained in the comments here but to no avail. I also went through everything Leonard did when installing and everything seemed to work fine until enabling SASL. I can log in alright with my test user and view that no mail has been received.
I can send mail externally by selecting some other smtp server in thunderbird and sending via it.
I'm absolutely lost with this.
Any ideas?
Thanks for this tutorial. I get this msg while adding a test user. any suggestion?

i can send email to another, but when another send me an email, my inbox is still empty, it cannot receive.
what must my i do?
I've got to the end of "Install Dovecot" in this tutorial and when I try to connect with outlook express it says no socket error.
If I try to telnet into it from windows command prompt with
"telnet (ip address) 110" it says it could not connect.
Do I need to open the ports 110 and 25? If so, how do I do it?
Oh thx so much for this tuto,
It's been a long time that i'm looking for a tuto like this.

For Postfix + Dovecot + SASL + Squirrel Mail and with the help of Tomas V (POST 9) It's working perfect.
Great Work ppl, with is help it's amazing what all together can do!
Best Regards From Portugal!
Hi, thank you finally I can send email just have to sort out the being treated as spam now :). Just curious how come we install popa3d at the start of the tutorial, only to have it automatically removed when we install dovecot-pop3d?
guys a have a problem.
I work with a postfix server, dovecot imap server, postfixadmin, mysql and squirrelmail.
My new user creaded by postfixadmin, they can´t recieve emails, only send. my old user works perfect.
I am a new worker of this system, I think so that I failed when I created a news users, I don´t know, I created by postfixadmin.

Could anyone give me a light?
Thanks in advance ;D
Never mind, i was using the @domain.com.
That was my error ;D.
I'm having problems with this set up. I have done everything as instructed but I am not able to send external emails (receiving works fine). Keep getting "Relay access denied" error.
@matt did you tried solution at 9. comment made by tomas
Thank you for this perfect & really easy tutorial.
It worked very fine on my server (debian lenny), everything is ok.
great job dude.
Working Great, for those with issues auth default – Make sure your not deleting the other "auth default" just put the code above the first and change auth default to auth default2
Great tutorial!
This has been breaking my head for ages, everything works for postfix relay denied unless authenticated however dovecot will return with an error when sasl is used normal login works fine

Write-in jumps into auditor's race in Island County
Oak Harbor City Councilman Jim Palmer's name will likely appear on the general election ballot as a candidate for Island County auditor.
As of the Aug. 20 vote count, Palmer has 228 write-in votes while the current auditor, Sheilah Crider, had 12,404 votes. Palmer has 1.8 percent of the vote, more than the 1 percent he needs to get onto the ballot in November.
Palmer has been a reluctant candidate, but that has changed.
"I will definitely pursue this position," he said Thursday morning, adding that he's in the process of purchasing campaign materials.
Palmer told the News-Times last Friday that he didn't plan to file as a write-in candidate for auditor, but he changed his mind after speaking to folks at the state Secretary of State's Office Monday.
"They originally urged me to sign up, to avoid any confusion," he said. By filing as a write-in candidate, votes for him will counts even if people don't spell his name exactly right.
The short path to candidacy has been very unusual for Palmer. Originally, Crider was running unopposed. The county commissioners appointed her to the $67,500-a-year job early this year, after former Auditor Suzanne Sinclair quit.
But in the week before the primary election, Palmer said he was surprised to learn that a number of people from the community had started a write-in campaign to elect him as auditor.
Palmer said people had concerns about Crider's management of the office and errors that led to the re-printing of ballots and voters pamphlets.
"It's nothing personal against Sheilah," he said, "I'm just not sure she's qualified for the job."
It was no secret that Palmer was interested in the position. He considered asking to be appointed after Sinclair left, but decided not to because he just won the election to be on city council. But it's a job that he said makes sense for him, since he currently works as a business appraiser.
"I'm basically an auditor for businesses," he said.
Palmer's candidacy means voters will have two Republicans auditor candidates to choose from on the ballot. Palmer said he considered running without a party preference.
"But the groundswell has come from the Republican side," he said, adding that he's "more of a Republican than a Democrat."
Crider did not immediately return a phone call for comment.

"We had some key matches where our guys let their opponent jump on them early and we had to try and battle back through out the match. That was key for IA Western in this dual and you can not let a quality team like that take early advantages. I thought we battled hard but at the end of the night we came up short on some keys opportunities and matches. We travel to Augsburg for their open this weekend before returning to our first home dual of the season Dec. 4th against Iowa Central," Coach Alesch.

As a lifelong resident and Realtor in Norwalk, I can certainly help you. For the most part, East Norwalk and West Norwalk are good areas, whereas areas in South Norwalk and downtown (central) Norwalk have some areas better than others. As a single woman, Norwalk is a great place to live. The downtown area of South Norwalk (SoNo) has been renovated and is just wonderful. The Washington Street area and the immediate surrounding streets are fabulous. The area offers plenty of restaurants, clubs, shops, museums and you can walk to the train station or Long Island Sound. Easy comute to I-95 & the Merritt Parkway as well.
East Norwalk is an area of Norwalk unto itself. It is the beach area and is pretty self contained. A bit quieter than South Norwalk, offering everything that South Norwalk offers, but less commercial. Also very convenient to highways, shops and trains.
I hope this has helped you and if I can be of further help, please feel free to contact me.
It really all depends on your personal preferences, as well as your pocketbook! If you provide additional information, I could narrow your search a bit more.
Welcome to Norwalk!

Pantone Queen
It was a balmy Wednesday when Will Thacker and Blake Waters were enjoying their afternoon tea in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, at another Royal Garden Party.
Doubling up on the finest cucumber sandwiches, they found it hard not to notice another splendid block colour outfit worn by Her Maj'.
After much debating and a couple more Earl Greys, the pair decided to celebrate her success at wearing one colour so gracefully.
Introducing Pantone Queen, 60 Years of Matching Colours.
Queen Elizabeth II is an icon of style. For 60 years she has colour matched her clothing perfectly. As any Queen should.
And to celebrate the 2012 Diamond Jubilee, Leo Burnett and Pantone have created a colour guide book detailing some of those famous single colour outfits, with their matching Pantone reference and the date she wore them.

129: Advice
May 14, 1999
A program taped before live audiences in Seattle (thanks to public radio station KUOW) and at HBO's U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. A taxonomy of different kinds of advice—and stories that illustrate why advice is so rarely taken.
- Host Ira Glass talks with his mom—a clinical psychologist—about why people seem to rarely take the advice others give. Then advice columnist Dan Savage, author of the syndicated column and book Savage Love, gives the audience some advice that hopefully might save lives. (24 minutes)Song:

Economists, bankers and CEOs often base their views of the economy on statistics and trends, aggregating data from across the nation to assess the health of the U.S. private sector.
But these views don't always match up with what the everyday, so-called "nine-to-fiver" is seeing. To get both sides of the story, there's this series -- Coffee Shop Economy Talk -- where random Alabamians are asked to share their own views.
When asked to assess the health of the economy, the grad student at UAB, currently working toward her master's degree in public administration, says it "needs help."
The student herself is doing well enough -- "surviving," she calls it -- considering she has a roof over her head, and can afford to enjoy a cup of coffee between classes. But the debt from student loans looms, and the parts of the economy to which she is personally exposed are facing challenges.
She recently spent time working with a local association of architects, for example, and has seen that industry take its share of hits. Many firms in that industry are continuing to receive work, she says, but a significant share also lack a backlog of work, meaning their futures are uncertain. And many in the profession who enjoyed good times before the recession are now jobless, she says.
More recently, she has been spending time supporting the efforts of a local nonprofit, and can see firsthand how consumers are responding to the current state of things. "People are watching where they spend their money," she says -- posing a threat to organizations that lack a major national presence, such as United Way or the YMCA. Those firms without national recognition are having a hard time maintaining financial support, she says.
Is the government taking the right steps to help the economy improve? She sees the value in social programs, but has questions about their implementation. "They are necessary," she says, "but I think they're abused regularly."
She has a similar viewpoint on student loans: They are good in the sense that they can help students lift themselves up, but she worries that not enough borrowers are taking their debt loads seriously. Specifically, she thinks students that either are considering or have already dropped out should think twice before walking away with thousands in debt and no degree to show for it.
As for the performance of the current president specifically, she thinks Obama "did the best he could with what he was given," but was also disappointed with the amount of time and effort he spent on the issue of health care. "His timing was off," she says.
Across Alabama and in Birmingham, she sees a lack of commitment to education, and a gross disparity in funding between schools located just a few miles apart. But she does give local officials credit for having attracted manufacturing jobs to the state, including those brought here by Airbus.
When asked about how to solve these challenges, the concept she proposes is activism. "I'm not about to go burn my bra," she says, but she sees differences in the way her generation responds to dissatisfaction compared to the generations that have preceded hers. "There were a lot more protests, and people standing up for what the believe in," she says. Good government helps, she says, but ultimately the responsibility for making things right lies with citizens.

At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) here in Detroit, Ford Motor Co. rolled out a family of turbo-charged engines capable of boosting performance and fuel efficiency.
Known as EcoBoost, the new engine line could see use on as many as half a million Ford vehicles. The giant automaker claims the new design will boost fuel efficiency by as much as 20 percent in its vehicles. Moreover, Ford engineers at the show here said smaller EcoBoost engines will be capable of replacing larger predecessors.
Now we can use a V6 where we would have used a V8, and a four-cylinder instead of a V6, said Dan Kapp, director of powertrain research and advanced engineering for Ford.
Kapp stated that a 3.5-liter EcoBoost will crank out 340 lb-ft of torque, the same as one of the companys V8s already in use. It also yields a 2-mpg fuel-economy advantage over the V8.
The brilliance of it is that you get all that torque, all the way down to the 1,500-rpm range, Kapp said. It has this very flat torque curve that gives you better performance.
Ford engineers achieved these improvements by combining turbo-charging with gasoline direct injection. Turbo-charging, in which heat energy from the exhaust is used to spin a turbine, has long been a traditional method for improving engine output in automobiles, but has often been linked to a turbo-lag phenomenon that causes engines to not perform as well at lower rpms. By simultaneously injecting gasoline directly into the engines combustion chamber, however, Ford engineers were able to vastly reduce turbolag. As a result, the new engine family can increase flow to the turbine, even at lower engine revolutions.
It allows us to reduce engine displacement by as much as 30 to 40 percent, Kapp said.
Ford plans to introduce the new engine concept in the 2009 Lincoln MKS.
Unlike many new automotive engine families, which require massive re-tooling of engine transfer lines, EcoBoost also offers the advantage of not requiring significant changes in its production plants. Thats important for Ford, because building a new engine production line from scratch can cost as much as $400 million by some estimates.
We can deploy this technology onto the existing engine architectures, so we dont have to make a massive investment in re-tooling of the production lines, Kapp said.

When Benjamin Franklin was asked in 1789 if the new U.S. Constitution would create a lasting nation his response was "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
In August of 1862, during some of the darkest days of the Civil War, the nation was at war with itself mired in battlefield deaths during the month that the first federal income tax was being collected. Beyond that nothing was certain.
The Army of the Potomac was evacuating the very Virginia peninsula on which it was supposed to sweep up, crush the rebel army, and capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. Gen. Robert E. Lee had other ideas and reversed the process.
Lincoln put out an urgent call for 300,000 more troops and if they didn't volunteer the war's first draft would be put in place.
The August 1st edition of The Republican is dominated by war issues but also offers alternatives. Advertisements abound on how to beat the sweltering heat by heading for the cool breezes of the mountains. For 50 cents you could get a round trip from Springfield to Mount Nonotuck on the Connecticut River Railroad. For the same price you could take a coach from Northampton to the newly renovated Prospect House on Mount Holyoke. At the Music Hall in downtown Springfield you could take in the opera bouffe of "The Doctor of Alcantara." The steam ferry left the foot of State Street regularly to bring picnickers to Warriner's Grove on the banks of the Connecticut in Agawam.
There were also regular chances to combine entertainment and the war. On August 2nd, Confederate President Jeff Davis' ex-coachman, William A. Jackson, referred to as "an intelligent and good-looking contraband with considerable fluency as a public speaker" delivered an address at City Hall. A contribution was taken up following the speech.
It was impossible to read about the war without the issue of slavery cropping up. On August 2nd The Republican reminded its readers that Lincoln, on July 22, had issued a proclamation, backed by Congress, dealing with confiscation and emancipation, which gave the rebels 60 days to lay down their arms and return to loyalty or forfeit their property. This would essentially free the slaves of Southern rebels. The clock was ticking.
Lincoln continued to try to appease the anti-emancipation groups in the North by continuing to push his colonization plan. He met with a group of the most influential black citizens of Washington and provided details of a plan to send freed slaves to a better life in Central America. The details of the meeting in The Republican make it sound like a modern day salesman trying to sell time shares in the desert.
On Aug. 4th the newspaper ran an editorial under the headline: "Can We Make the War a Short One?" It basically pointed out that previous predictions, which began in April of 1861, estimated the war would be over in a matter of weeks, or months. The editorial forcefully called for whatever steps were necessary to raise enough men quickly to end the war. It stopped just sort of calling for a draft. The following day's paper carried this story in the lead position: "A Draft of 300,000 Militia Ordered."
Lincoln ordered the call-up state-by-state for nine-month enlistments, the maximum time allowed by a law passed in the last session of Congress. In the next few days details of the draft regulations would be published and the consequences noted. There was no talk of "draft dodgers" in those days, men trying to avoid enlistment were branded as "skeedaddlers."
The new draft called for "every able-bodied white male citizen, between the ages of 18 and 45, excepting those already serving, to be enrolled in the militia." By using the militia, Lincoln essentially called upon the governors of the Union to handle the process. Gov. John Andrew of Massachusetts, an ardent anti-slavery Republican, disregarded Lincoln's "white only" restriction and ordered the list of possible conscripts to include black citizens between the ages of 18 and 45.
The newspaper was disappointed that the president decided to not accept "Negro volunteers" and opined "We had hoped he would receive regiments of free Negroes from the North."
The new draft law specifically exempted "the artificers and workmen of the United States armory at Springfield" along with a host of others from lighthouse keepers, Quakers, Shakers, ministers, firefighters, and railroad men. Exempting the hundreds of men who worked for the armory in Springfield hampered the city in making its quota, although many armorers decided to join up anyway.
On August 8th, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton issued an order that The Republican characterized as "The Skedaddlers Stopped" in which he authorized all federal marshals and city and town police to arrest anyone publicly trying to discourage enlistments or found trying to leave the country to evade the draft. Several citizens from Western Massachusetts made it as far as Rouse's Point, N.Y on the Canada border, before they were detained and sent back to either jail or the army.
On the income tax front, former Massachusetts governor George S. Boutwell was appointed by Lincoln as the first Commissioner of Internal Revenue and August was the first month in which income taxes were withheld. It called for a 3 percent rate on incomes between $600 and $10,000, and a 5 percent rate on those over $10,000 ($231,000 in today's dollars). Boutwell started the IRS in mid-July with three clerks and by January of 1863 had 4,000 employees.
Ducking taxes or the draft weren't the only crimes Springfield residents had to contend with in August of 1862. An account in The Republican states that the "gentler sex" was being jailed at the house of correction in growing numbers, with 25 women and 55 men incarcerated. Petty thievery among the ladies was increasing while men had a way out of jail. Albert Coates who was sentenced to a year in jail was able to enlist, pay his $100 bounty to his victim, and went off to war.
On the day the details of the draft were announced, another arson fire severely damaged the new Union Block in Springfield. It was just one of many incendiary blazes over the past year. The newspaper suggested "hanging is too good a punishment for the villain if he is found out."
On August 11, The Republican reported the first battlefield news in many days. It vaguely described a battle between Gen. Nathaniel Banks' troops south of Culpepper Court House in Virginia. This would become known as the Battle of Cedar Mountain. It would eventually lead to a hero's funeral in Springfield and become the first battle of the war in which Massachusetts nurse Clara Barton was allowed on the field of battle to care for the troops. One Worcester County regiment in the battle had 20 soldiers whom Barton had in class as a teacher in Oxford, Mass.
The battle ended in defeat for the badly outnumbered Union troops, suffering 314 killed, 1,445 wounded, and 594 missing. The Confederates had 231 killed and 1,107 wounded.
On August 14, word was received in Springfield that George F. Tannant, a Springfield native was among the wounded from Cedar Mountain. He had been with Col. Everett Peabody at Shiloh and helped bear his body off the field. Tannant's brother John left for Virginia to bring the wounded officer home, but when he arrived his brother only lived for a few hours. John accompanied his brother's body back to his home city where he was buried near his friend Colonel Peabody.
Back in Springfield the recruitment efforts became more zealous than ever. The draft, which was supposed to begin on August 15, was delayed so regular enlistments, which by now included $300 bounties, could continue. The bounties were due to end on August 20th, but were extended a few days as Springfield was close to reaching its quota. By August 23rd The Republican reported Springfield had fulfilled its obligations and "there will be no draft in Springfield."
In fact, continued delays on the part of governors throughout the Union pushed the draft further away. It was not implemented in 1862, but the very threat of it, coupled with the rules and regulations and prosecution of skeedaddlers helped to fill the volunteer ranks.
Hugh Donnelly led a company of nearly 100 Irish from the region, most from Springfield. He was a frequent speaker at the many war rallies held throughout the month. The depleted ranks of the Massachusetts 10th, down to only 375 out of the original 1,000, were also revived.
The Springfield Armory received an emergency order for 900 rifles on August 26 to be delivered to northern Minnesota, where an Indian uprising had cost the lives of hundreds of settlers. Rumors abounded that the Sioux tribe had been "stirred up" by rebel sympathizers.
As August drew to a close, another great battle raged on basically the same ground the First Battle of Bull Run was fought. This was Second Manassas or Second Battle of Bull Run. The battle lasted for three days from the 28th-30th, and it was another defeat for the Union and for Lincoln's new general, John Pope. Union casualties were about 10,000 killed and wounded out of a force of 62,000; the Confederates casualties were 1,300 killed and 7,000 wounded out of 50,000.
There would be plenty of room for those new recruits, many of whom were equipped from arms and supplies left by the dead and wounded.

Two years ago, Stasia Cymes joined the migration into New Orleans, fell in love with our city and people, and stayed. She established her business, Clear the Clutter, and began organizing people's homes, offices and lives. Aware of the importance of networking to grow her business and to make friends in a new city, Cymes took her organizational communication skills a step further and created Ladies Night Out.
"This isn't just a group of women meeting once a month and exchanging business cards," Cymes told me recently. "Ladies Night Out has a different theme every month, and while it's a casual gathering, this is about empowering women, about social networking for women to meet, support one another and become active in the community."
For example, one monthly topic centered around the Stay Local movement, where residents are shown the importance of supporting local businesses. The point is to showcase entrepreneurs, community service providers, or "individuals and groups that make a difference in our lives and in the community," Cymes said.
While the group began in Mid-City, Cymes said monthly meetings now are held around New Orleans. There isn't a membership fee or any expectations "other than women looking to connect with other women," she said.
The next meeting is March 14 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at The Cannery, 3803 Toulouse St., just behind the American Can Co. Cymes is billing it as "Ladies Night Out Gives Back." She said women who attend are asked to bring toiletries, linens and bedspreads that will be provided to Crescent House, a safe house for women and children.
"When I help my clients clean out their spaces I often take the 'donations' to Crescent House," Cymes said. "They're always in need of toiletries and bedding, so for this meeting we're asking women to bring all those hotel soaps and shampoos that you end up with but never use, or that gently used bedspread or blanket that's taking up space in a closet. It's a win-win all around."
For further information and to get linked in with Ladies Night Out's Facebook and other social media groups, contact Cymes at email@example.com or call 504.920.1800.

Over the past two weeks, the "out-of-town" self-proclaimed hockey experts have done their best to ridicule the Red Wings for trading playoff phenom and grudge-holder Ville Leino, as well as allowing Tomas Kopecky, Marian Hossa, and Mikael Samuelsson to walk last summer, but the Red Wings' players and GM Ken Holland have stuck to their guns regarding the fact that while they're happy for Leino's successes, the bottom line regarding Leino is that he's the one who played his way off the team.
Two weeks ago, before Leino became a media darling, the Detroit News's Chris McCosky laid the Wings' argument plainly--"Getting 'Leino'ed" had become a cliche summarizing laziness for Leino's biggest supporter, Wings coach Mike Babcock, so when Johan Franzen and Andreas Lilja came off the IR, Holland did the best he could to get something of value for a player who'd mentally checked out.
This time around, McCosky asked Holland himself to weigh in on his supposed fleecing by Flyers GM Paul Holmgren for the bestest player ever (or something like that), with Holland offering articulate observations based in something called reality:
June 6, Detroit News: "We tried to wait," Holland said. "We're getting into my philosophy on player development here, but in my opinion, you can't wait long enough for players. Look at Danny Cleary. We were his fourth team. It took that long for him to figure it out. People don't realize how hard it is to play in this league. It takes time for guys to figure it out."
And Holland never doubted that Leino would eventually figure it out. But here was his choice back in February. Franzen and his $3.9 million contract were coming back after knee surgery. After sending Brad May and Justin Abdelkader back to Grand Rapids, he still was $650,000 over the cap. Leino and his $800,000 cap hit, unproductive to the point where Babcock stopped playing him, were sitting up in the press box eating hot dogs every night. It was an absolute no-brainer and Leino's breakout performance in the playoffs doesn't alter that reality. Holland isn't suddenly stupid for trading Leino.
"He learned about adversity in Detroit and he learned about adversity when he first got to Philadelphia," Holland said. "And when he finally got his chance, having gone through that adversity prepared him to the point where he realized, 'Hey, I really have to play hard all the time to stay here.' He started to build a little confidence and then, whoosh, off he went."
Good for him, but it's hardly a black mark on Holland's resume. To suggest, as a couple of national stories have, that the salary cap has "made a monkey" out of the Red Wings, is absurd.

Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto is worried Arjen Robben will try to give Netherlands an advantage by diving in Saturday night's World Cup quarter-final in Salvador.
Robben was accused of diving to win a penalty in Netherlands' second-round match against Mexico.
The winger denied the accusation but did admit to exaggerating a fall earlier in the match. And that has Pinto concerned ahead of Saturday night's last-eight meeting.
"This is one of the most important questions I have been asked in this World Cup," Pinto said. "Diving. This is something that makes us worry a lot. We're really worried about that.
"I would like to ask FIFA and the referees to watch Robben closely. We're really worried about his diving.
"He has admitted to doing it," Pinto added. "I hope the referee watches him very closely.
"I would like FIFA and the referee to watch out because it is very important and can have a huge influence on the result."
"Maybe he would have to leave the field because he gets two yellow cards for diving" - Jorge Luis Pinto
Ravshan Irmatov of Uzbekistan will be taking charge of the match and Pinto hopes he is brave to book Robben should he dive.
"That may be the most logical solution," he said. "Maybe he would have to leave the field because he gets two yellow cards for diving.
"Why not? That could happen. I want to trust the referees. Let's see what happens."

"I made more mistakes than anyone else," he said. "I pledge to do better."
The state superintendent of schools appeared at the 2010 Governor's Education Summit on Monday in East Lansing, speaking prior to a panel of state Education Department staff fielding questions about Michigan's failed bid for money from President Obama's education reform program.
Staff members told the gathering they are "optimistic" about Michigan being included in the second phase of Race to the Top grants to be handed out later this year, or, should that bid fail, a third phase in 2011.
Michigan wasn't among 15 finalists shooting for a slice of $4.3 billion in federal money, and Flanagan said there were several key areas where the state fell short.
Among those was working with universities to develop an educational data base of the state's students and failing to get stakeholders. mostly teachers union presidents, to sign memorandums of understanding committing them to reforms.
"I had cancer. I thought that was tough. Then there were the MOUs," he said. "I'm not going to botch them again."
He did say the first phase's compressed timeline made it difficult to pull the package together, noting that the required legislation wasn't passed until January and the federal government was changing the rules right up until the final weekend before applications were due.Flanagan said the state lost points for having a decentralized higher education system, which makes creating the data base a challenge, but ranked first in the nation for the high school graduation requirements.
His talk was followed by a panel discussion about Race to the Top with four state Education Department staffers. I was the moderator, and pointed out that Delaware and Tennessee are not exactly known as the epicenters of school reform, What did their applications include that Michigan lacked?
Sally Vaughn, the state's chief academic officer, replied that the two winning states are smaller and had more experience with creating student data bases. Plus, they had a "compelling story."
I pushed with a blunt question. Did the Michigan Education Association kill this application by telling its local presidents not to sign the memos? Vaughn said the lack of participation hurt, but was not a fatal blow the package.
Then, I asked, what the department was doing to bring the union on board. She said that labor was one of several stakeholders that has been given a seat at the table as the second phase application was being assembled.
She said groups such as school boards would have about two weeks to study the plan before they have to commit. I asked if that was enough time for folks across the state to study what must be a pretty intensive document, then deliberate and conduct a meeting to take a vote. Vaughn said she though it was adequate.
Gov. Granholm later addressed the group, and she, too raised the issue of support from the unions and others.
"On the issue of buy-in, it was a challenge for us because we didn't get enough buy-in from our stakeholders at the local level," she said. "There is no way these reforms can be implemented unless there is buy-in at the local level."
She said the data issue "is huge," and she needs help from the state's universities to make that happen and also show the federal government that the districts and higher education are working together.
Granholm said she also wants an evaluation plan in place that holds teachers, principals and superintendents accountable, but does so fairly. She's also like to find a way to attract high-performing teachers to low-performing schools.
Today I had the chance to bounce some of the comments off MEA spokesman Doug Pratt, who said President Iris Salters has indeed been invited to be a part of discussion with the state Education Department.
"It's a much better process this time around," Pratt said. "We're having good discussions on the issues, we're hopeful and encouraged."
The main objection in the first phase was that the state wanted signatures before the final plan was even approved. Pratt said now the state Board of Education is set to approve the application early next month, weeks ahead of the June 1 deadline.
"That's a timeline that infinitely more realistic," he said. "People will have a chance to read it."

These rolls are made from my grandma's recipe. I've no idea where she came across it, just that my mom and aunt kept it, along with many of her other handwritten recipes.
It calls for the simplest of ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs and butter. The butter is actually an update of mine, as the original did call for shortening. I think she'd be OK with it. This recipe also calls for "scalding" the milk. I had to look up exactly how to scald and found it can be done quite easily in the microwave. The reason behind scalding milk in baking is that the whey protein in milk can weaken gluten, causing dough not to rise properly. The scalding deactivates the protein. (source: The Kitchn)
Is this the perfect roll recipe? Probably not, but I've really no idea. I don't have much experience baking rolls save for these only a handful of times. Are they delicious? Um, yes. Are they simple enough that a novice baker can manage? I'd say most definitely yes. The key I've found in my foray into bread making is adding a dusting of flour, a little at a time, as you knead. And stop as soon as the dough is not sticky anymore. It will kind of feel like Play-Doh. Pleasant, soft and smooth.
After the first rise on these, the dough is very easy to deflate and divide evenly into 8 log-shaped pieces. No more flour is required. A dough scraper or knife will do the work of cutting.
The pleasant surprise I discovered on this round of baking my grandma's rolls is that they can in fact be made ahead. Once they've been cut into roll-sized pieces, place them on a sheet pan in the freezer for a few hours. Once they have been frozen completely, remove them from the pan and transfer them to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. When you are ready to bake, place them about 1/2-inch apart in a well-greased baking dish (a pie plate or a Corning Ware dish work well). Cover the dish of rolls loosely with a towel and put them in a warm place. Mine took 3 hours to rise this morning. After baking, they tasted fresh as could be and delicious with a little butter on top.
I am a firm believer in keeping family recipes alive and passed down. Especially at the holidays.
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 2 packets quick-rise yeast
- 2 c. milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm (80 - 110 degrees Fahrenheit)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 c. unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 6 c. all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
- 3 t. salt
- Place milk in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave for 4 minutes. Place in refrigerator and allow to cool to between 80 - 110 degrees.
- Melt butter and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 cups of flour and salt.
- In a very large bowl, place the sugar and yeast. Pour the cooled milk into the bowl and whisk. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Beat the 2 eggs into the melted butter. Add to the yeast mixture, along with half the flour. Stir well. Add the other half of flour and stir until dough begins to come together.
- Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and sprinkle surface of dough with a little more flour. Begin to knead dough, adding just a small amount of flour as you are kneading to keep the dough from sticking to the counter or your hands. I kneaded the dough for approximately 6 minutes.
- Place the dough into a clean bowl. Pour a bit of oil over the dough and turn so all sides are coated.
- Place the dough bowl in a warm spot and cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Gently push down on the dough to deflate. Place on clean counter and evenly divide dough into 8 log-shaped pieces, using a bench scraper or large, heavy knife.
- Cut each dough log into four equal pieces, giving you 32 rolls. Gently cup each roll in your hand to "plump" them up a bit in the center.
- If baking right away, place the rolls in well-greased baking dishes, spaced about 1/2-inch apart. Place dishes in a warm spot and cover loosely with a towel. Allow rolls to rise in baking dishes for 60 minutes more.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 16 - 20 minutes. Watch closely in the last few minutes to make sure tops don't over-brown.
- If freezing, place the unbaked rolls on a sheet pan and freeze for a few hours. Transfer to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and store until ready to bake, up to four weeks.
- Take dough out of freezer and place in well-greased baking dishes as described above. Allow to rise in a warm place for 3 hours and bake as directed.

Liu is first Chinese woman in space
JIUQUAN (CHINA): China put its first woman into orbit on Saturday, one of three astronauts to attempt a critical space docking in the latest challenge for the country's ambitious space programme.
A Long March rocket blasted off in the early evening from the remote Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the northwestern Gobi Desert, carrying with it the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft and the three astronauts, including 33-year-old female fighter pilot Liu Yang.
This is China's fourth manned space mission since 2003 when astronaut Yang Liwei became the country's first person in orbit, and comes as the United States has curtailed manned launches over budget concerns and changing priorities.
The launch was carried live on state television, and until moments before blast-off, a camera showed the three astronauts in the cabin occasionally waving. A red placard with the Chinese symbol for good fortune hung behind them.
Within days, the astronauts will try to dock with the orbiting Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) 1 module launched last September, part of a 13-day mission crucial to China's ambition to put a space station in orbit around 2020.
"I believe that we can achieve this goal, because we already have the basic technological capability," Zhou Jianping, the chief designer of China's manned space engineering project, told reporters before the launch.
A successful manned docking mission for China would be the latest show of the country's growing capabilities in space, to match its expanding military and diplomatic clout.
Still, Beijing is playing catch up with the United States and Russia, which, along with other countries, jointly operate the International Space Station some 240 miles (390 km) above Earth.
Rendezvous and docking techniques such as those which China is only testing now were mastered by the United States and the former Soviet Union decades ago, and the 10.5 metre-long Tiangong 1 is a trial module, not a full-fledged space station.
