I want to use git’s mailing capabilities on OS X Lion to send out patches. How do I configure the MTA?
This Enable the postfix Mail Transfer Agent looks interesting, but old:
loghyr:postfix root# head /etc/hostconfig
# This file is going away
But I think we can control all of this from the postfix(1).
loghyr:postfix root# postconf -d | grep etc
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
config_directory = /etc/postfix
sample_directory = /etc/postfix
I’m going to need a version for my home network and my vpn network:
loghyr:postfix root# cp main.cf home.cf
loghyr:postfix root# cp main.cf work.cf
loghyr:postfix root# cp main.cf default.cf
Edit the config files and start it:
loghyr:postfix root# cp work.cf main.cf
loghyr:postfix root# postfix start
postfix/postfix-script: warning: group or other writable: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
How do I get it to stay launched? What’s the correctly way to make Postfix run permanently on Lion (not server)
I can switch my config files as needed.
Hmm, it works. I can’t show you, but it works.
The main thing I changed from the article I linked in was the relayhost:
relayhost = [mail.internal.excfb.com]
My setup assumes that I am connecting to an already working mail server in the domain. I.e., my iMac isn’t going to be receiving mail, just sending it.

I get tired of Outlook messing with my space alignment when I cut and paste code. I don’t care if I turn off HTML or not, it still does it. And even if I turn off HTML, the Linux-NFS mailing list rejects my posts.
So, back to mutt. The big thing people complain about when I switch back and forth between mutt and something else, is that my “From” flips from “Tom Haynes” and “Haynes, Tom”.
I tried setting gecos_mask in my .muttrc, but no joy.
This worked for me instead:
set realname=”Haynes, Tom”
I don’t care what format it is in, as long as people don’t gripe. :->

No bit rot at all - sat 14 years on a CD and with minimal effort I was able to get my dissertation built.
Thomas Dunlop Haynes. Collective Adaptation: The Sharing of Building Blocks. PhD thesis, Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, University of Tulsa, Tulsa, OK, USA, 1998.
I want to contrast that against my Master’s thesis, which I did in Word and which was a major pain in the rear. Of course, I converted it to LaTeX source as well, and I could probably get it posted up here as well.
I could probably get the GP engine code running again and regenerate all of the data from scratch in a fraction of time on the systems I have sitting around the house. Ahh, too geeky!

Just like anything else, your Simulate ONTAP™ will run faster if you give it more memory. And while you should not decrease this value, you can increase it. Edit this file:
loghyr:nsim-1.vmware thomas$ vi DataONTAP.vmx
to bump it, e.g.,
loghyr:nsim-1.vmware thomas$ diff DataONTAP.vmx ../DataONTAP.vmx | grep memsize
< memsize = "4000"
> memsize = “1600″
Note that as you are running a cluster, you will have at least two of these running and your upper limit is the amount of RAM available to your host computer.

Kept banging my head against this VMware Fusion 4.0 error message on trying to bring up a Simulate ONTAP™ vsim: Network bridge on device VMnet0 is not running
I kept on thinking it was my network config.
It was much simpler than I realized, I was running a VPN and once I turned that off, my devices started working!
