ZimbraMtaMyNetworks

Allowing relaying for a remote machine
Let’s say you have a single machine on a remote network (for example, an automated mailing list manager with the IP address 10.10.200.25), and the current settings look like this:
postconf mynetworks
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.10.130.0/24
Add the remote machine like this:
zmprov modifyServer zimbra.example.com zimbraMtaMyNetworks ’127.0.0.0/8 10.10.130.0/24 10.10.200.25/32′
postfix reload

Read on another blog: Thunderbird mail client updates itself, then closes and restarts to finish the job. During this process, it fails telling to check to makes sure I have permissions to the files then restarts itself, only to crash and tell me the same thing over and over.

Turns out, I have a Logitech QuickCam. Kill the task tray icon, the update works fine.

admin — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 20:16:39 +0000

umount: /opt/backup: device is busy

Use following command to see who’s using the device

fuser -u /opt/backup

Use following command too kill process

option -k to kill and option -m to allow you to specify the filesystem by name

Now you can issue the umount command again, and it works as expected
