Problem testing Postfix
I am installing Postfix on my unmanaged VPS hosting machine and I am doing it first time ever. I followed the installation manual on Ubuntu site and everything looks all right except one tiny thing: I can’t send email using Telnet.

Moved my blog

I don’t mind to have a screen save 15 minutes, but that login requirement… I just hate it! And I hate it mostly because the screen saver tab in the Display Properties dialog is disabled [...]
