I’m using spambayes for a long time now. But when i decide to install it for all the curent users of my setup (w/ some virtual domains..), i just discover that spambayes don’t have a system-wide deamon like spamassasin (spamd).
So the first try:

Since i totally switched my mail system to imap, i’m looking for a way to keep the folders ’small as possible’. I talked w/ Phil about this, and he (http://base-art.net/wk/Article/3.html) hacked a existing python script.

I get it! I managed to use mutt w/ my imap folders, with hooks and everything fine. This is not really hard, but :
libsas-modules break the SSL certification (without any error message)

This is a small tips to build a avi/divx/mpeg/what you want, with webcam as input in realtime. Simply use mencoder (the encoder build by the mplayer team)
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=160:height=120 -ovc divx4 -o test.avi
Take care, that you should respect the width/height of the current webcam settings.

I’ve been hacking a part of the w-e w/ my firewall setting (mainly cause my firewall blocks my wifi network ..). Everything is fine right now, but i’m wondering what is the difference in satefull and stateless firewalls.
Here is a quote from Sun:
When talking about protocols it is possible to describe TCP as stateful and [...]

I have been a long user of dialog ( mainly to write some small things w/ GUI for my girlfriend) and using KDE will perhaps be better no ? I guess so . Let’s give it a try:
