I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Crap. I don't see anything wrong in the script. You might try writing the mail to a plain files, to make sure that both code paths are getting executed. Also, try putting a Bcc: $recipient line in the submitter's message, and see if you get a copy of both.

Both files were written to and looked like they are supposed to.

I tried that earlier and it didn't seem to work, but I'll play around with it some more.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Say, if one were to have fixed a PowerMac G3/266 that one got for free what Operating System would be a good match? Say Mac OS 9 or perhaps a slightly older version of OS X like 10.1 or 10.2? I don't think OS X 10.3 or 10.4 support that old a Mac.

If it's not a beige G3, I'd go with 10.3, if you have the RAM, 9.2.2 wold work fine on any old G3 as well, even Beige. You may need a utility.

If we knew the hypothetical model, it would help.

So I have a TiVo with DVD burner. And I love it very much. But I'm worried about it. It makes noises. Weird clicky noises. Even when it doesn't appear to be doing anything (like, it's not recording anything, and I'm not doing anything to it). They happen for a few minutes, and then they stop for a while. Is this right? Is it going to fall apart in a horrible manner immediately after the warranty is up, or immediately before I need it to tape a show for me?

Or is it just making noises because there's a computer thing inside of it?

OK, the problem seems to be that emails can't be sent to a wobblymusic.com address. I have other email addresses in different domains that forward to wobblymusic.com addresses and that works, but sendmail won't send to a wobblymusic address directly. Weird.

meara, I'm voting for clicky computery thing. You might try scouting around in the TiVoCommunity Help forums, because it might be a problem others have encountered....

I sent an email to Hostway's tech support, and they fixed my problem within minutes! It was a problem on their end. Nice to know it wasn't me doing anything wrong. They told me they "removed my domain entry from /etc/sendmail.cw". Does that make sense, Tom?

Yeah, kind of.

Coding and Sleeping

I have a Beige G3 which is not supported by 10.3+ I believe. Also, is Mac OS 9 still useful or is it getting too old and suffering out of date web browsers and other old operating system maladies?

Our wings are not tired

You can run OS X 10.2 on a Beige G3. The biggest bottleneck is the built in video card in those machines. X runs reasonably well, but they feel painfully show due to the huge bottleneck at the video card. You can upgrade the video card, but it's a >$100 upgrade on a machine that would in total probably only sell for around $75.

OS 9 will run more quickly on the machine, but you are correct in your assumption that it is getting more and more difficult to get current web browsers and other software onto the OS.
