I've had mail sent via my own server rejected by gmail because of a missing Message-ID header. The 550 reject message was the standard "Unsolicited Mail detected" text, the same mail was accepted without causing any fuzz once

I copied the prototypes and general structure of the driver from the existing ones (mainly the sqlite driver), implementing the functionality with the appropriate postgres API calls. As for the implementation by mhodgson, one thing I notice

FWIW I enjoyed the challenge of hacking up my own version of this. It's admittedly not battle-tested, but hey ;) https://github.com/cbdevnet/libgit2-backends/blob/master/pos...

I was aware of dbmail, but did not peruse the source in-depth, in part because it does not in itself implement SMTP. Archiveopteryx I did not know, but thanks for the tip! Using their databases as the basis for new tools has the obvious ben

Well one reason being I really like SQLite. SQLite has a pretty great C API making it really easy to programmatically store, modify and retrieve data, which made it my first choice for runtime configuration data. Adding another storage back

That's actually exactly what you can already do with cmail ;) Each user can optionally be assigned a "user database", storing only the mails in her own inbox (which also allows users to have direct control over their own mail

Adding Shipping Costs to Germany bumps the price to about 22 USD (currently, 21EUR is what the receipt says). Considering the number of pages in this book in relation to its price, it is slightly expensive compared to your average "nor

Definitely a great and very instructive read, and one of the few to include IPv6 and the correct usage of getaddrinfo. It's the guide I recommend to everyone who wants to learn about network programming in C. I actually purchased the (

I am amazed no one suggested a simple GPG operation. Generate a keypair on an airgapped machine, keep the private part on a secure external medium (eg. CF Card in a bank safe). Have the public key on your normal machine, write your journal

I especially like the absurdity presented in this diagram: http://sshkeybox.com/img/keybox_dia.jpg Not only does it create a single point of failure in the Administration, but the third case illustrates that this is so

In my experience, there's an abundance of people just barely able to fire up their favorite IDE and hack something together in some kind of rapid prototyping web 2.7 thingamajig they don't even understand fully, preferrably using

There is also the matter of directly stuffing the sockaddr_in with calls like inet_addr(), which has long been considered inferior to alternatives using getaddressinfo(). This also has the side effect of this implementation not supporting I

Actually, being able to reverse-engineer and thus also being able to audit the processes and protocols being used is widely regarded to be a good thing, improving overall security standards.

How your website looks when accessed over my 3G connection: http://imgur.com/fD2dC7f Annoyingly, all your images are loaded first (and judging from the load times, they're not that small).
