Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG in case anyone has trouble with FBSD-R 4.0 and Gimp and Netscape packages. A) the +REQUIRE script in Netscape 4.72 needs the -aout switch in the ldconfig command to install. B) when adding Gimp, the PDL-2.0 package fails to install unless you change the +CONTENTS file so @pkgdep=Mesa-3.1 (in 4.0 pkgs). personally, i liked some features of the new GNU utilities, and i wondered why they were not included in the base dists of FBSD, but for the most part, over time, i have found them to be more bloated and more buggy than the 8 year old utilities :) ----- ps. it seems my favorite maillist and a few others these days block mail originating from a server with a private IP behind a proxying gateway. is there i way i can continue to use my own sendmail to mail from my FBSD machine behind a proxying gateway? is my only choice to use the proxies mailserver to send mail? this sucks for various reasons. i wonder if the war against spammers isn't as "silly" as the drug war. i mean, for every action, with enough motive, there's an effective counter action, and meanwhile, innocent victims get caught in the crossfire :) i mean - no one "pushes" users to make their email public, and everyone nowadays has a web-based "junk-mail" account :) and the day enough people don't like spam, that's the day there won't be anyone paying to do it. personally, i have more problems mailing in flexibly than i do with spammers. (don't spam me for that!!!) more and more my email bounces with "originating domain must exist" messages. :( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
