Samuel Jones's questions

I totally suck at Bash/Python/Ruby/Perl Scripting (need to practice/learn some more) so I'm asking for a little help :-)

I need to move about the contents of about 60 Maildirs to their parent folder and rename that parent folder too all on a Linux machine, of course I can use 'mv * .[^.]* ../' to do this, but its the repeating for multiple folders that I'd like to accomplish.

So currently I have /some/folder/prefix-user.name/Maildir/ and I want to end up with:

/some/folder/user.name/ which contains the contents of Maildir.

Two separate scripts would be fine, in fact it would probably be better so I have multiple examples to learn how to do this kind of repeated function automation :-)

Thank you for your help in advance!

I'm trying to create an ACL rule that will only allow internal users/white listed users to send to particular group aliases such as all@ or office2@

I know I need something similar to:

deny       log_message =  $sender_address is not permitted to send to myprotecteddomain.com my2protecteddomain.com
           domains     = myprotecteddomain.com : my2protecteddomain.com
           ! senders   = *myowndomain.com

But possibly using an external file with white-listed addresses in, I'm not that good at Exim ACLs!

I'm setting up a new helpdesk and one of the main features of Trac is that you can manage tickets through e-mail tags, is there any way of doing this through OTRS?

At my company we have 10 Mitel Teleworker phones (5312 model) which are connected to the PBX (3300 series) over a pair of dedicated ADSL lines (one at each site) all the phones are behind NAT on the consumer grade netgear router.

We've recently encountered a persistent issues of the Teleworker phones dropping calls and frequently dropping to a 'Please Wait...' screen upon which they eventually reconnect and calls continue until it starts again 5-10min later.

There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the times that this fault rears its ugly head.

Steps we have taken so far to try and remedy this issue include: changing the codec to the one which uses less bandwidth, having both ADSL lines checked by engineers (both are stable and provide 3000d/600u Kbps bandwidth) and checking that there's no other traffic saturating the lines.

Any help on this fault will be greatly appreciated! I'll buy anyone who finds the final fix a pizza/beer!

The one interesting thing we've found is that in the router firewall logs there's a lot of TCP and UDP traffic being directed to the PBX which is coming from the phones on random ports, and it frequently rotates to other ports which are also unlisted in any records.

This traffic is currently getting blocked, but once I allowed it (reckoning it might of been key presses or phone traffic) once I did this the issue got MUCH worse.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! I'll buy anyone who gives a solution to this problem a pizza/beer!

I have a user on our Linux Dovecot/exim4 linux server with 10GB worth of e-mails, I need to migrate this account over to their new Exchange Server hosted on site.

How would I go about converting the mailbox into Exchange format? I'm hoping that tar'ing the inbox before downloading it will significantly compress it, but the major hurdle is converting it.

We have a Mitel 3300 PBX and we're looking to replace our PRI and BRI lines with SIP Trunking. I've seen that the 3300 supports SIP, but does it support direct SIP from a prospective ISP?

Thanks
