I think spam-assassin is broken. I've tried deleting my procmail and forward files and starting over with spam-setup, but the command is broken. So, I think this is probably one of the services that staff will get around to restoring in a bit... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-59986798711999791672009-05-27T13:20:19.498-07:002009-05-27T13:20:19.498-07:00wheezyg is right . . .

However I have a new problem, a truly Alpine problem unfortunately, that I hope you or somebody else can help me with anyway.<br /><br />My folders are now, all 60-70 of them, in a subdirectory called Mail. Which is inconvenient. How do I move them all up to the main directory where they used to be?<br /><br />Also, what's the story on the spam situation? I am now getting about 20-30 spam E-mails per day. Is this just some weird kink with my account, or is everyone having this problem? And is it being worked on?<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />-amateur-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-34835450645217014052009-05-22T21:39:32.408-07:002009-05-22T21:39:32.408-07:00Stephen, <br /><br />I figure it out.

Details about how to use SSH are posted on our wiki.<br /><br />As to the safety of your data, I think it's a fairly safe thing to try, but I can't confirm (again, not familiar with pine at all). We backup user data daily, though, so, if something does go wrong, we can try restoring the files for you.Stephen Lehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07032320411269093036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-14022623927039454072009-05-22T19:16:10.231-07:002009-05-22T19:16:10.231-07:00Which python binary are you using? I installed pycurl for /opt/ocf/bin/python (Python version 2.6.2), and the module imports without error for me.<br /><br />In regards to the issue with nano/pico, I think it's because they're both linked against the wrong curses library.

I am a truly vanilla but very longtime user, who uses pine for his mail and just about nothing else, but was able to guess that "dir" was the right command after I exited pine, and found that yes, indeed, my old mail folders were in "Mail". <br /><br />But I don't know the precise right command to copy or rename from Mail to mail. Also, is there a danger that if I just rename, I'll wipe out my current mail in my inbox?<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />-amateur-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-39793519446568363782009-05-20T19:55:14.488-07:002009-05-20T19:55:14.488-07:00When I run nano, I got seg fault<br />Could you also install pycurl<br />Shouldnt have much dependency, since curl has already installed<br />Thanks sooooooo much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-15684174974827109992009-05-18T22:23:00.000-07:002009-05-18T22:23:00.000-07:00Eel, thanks so much for leaving that helpful comment!

In fact, I ended up downloading many folders to my machine because my account was going over quota (likely because I can't access my spam folder through Alpine and delete a bunch of stuff). I thought I'd post this, because it might be helpful to you to have access to your folders, but like you, I'm still waiting to hear back from ocf staff (I emailed them separately from these blog comments) to see if they can suggest a way that we can view our folders in Alpine, or switch back to using Pine. I'll post here if they offer a solution over email, or perhaps staff will answer here also.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-54023576608607252942009-05-17T10:15:00.000-07:002009-05-17T10:15:00.000-07:00when you get the chance, can you also get mysqldump to work too?<br /><br />right now i get: <br /><br />Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect<br /><br />thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34923766.post-46261480325525907122009-05-15T17:57:00.000-07:002009-05-15T17:57:00.000-07:00Dear Blog,<br /><br />I have the same problem anonymous has, namely I access my E-mail thru Alpine, and all of my old folders have disappeared!

This comes out especially in lynx, where each line starts right below the end of the previous line (as well as everything being highlighted), so pages are very hard to read. This looks like the kind of problem that has a simple user fix, but I don't know what it is.<br /><br />Also, it would be good to have emacs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
