php mail function is very slow + wordpress didn't send mail

I host my another site on my own server [ubuntu+apache+wordpress] and notice that notification mail function on my site is not work. After install sendmail, php mail function is working fine but very slow. If you also have this problem, below is how i fix it. first make sure your /etc/hosts file first line look like this
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost yourhostname
hostname can found on /etc/hostname. Now php mail function should work correctly. But wordpress still deny to send mail out. This have to fix with little hack[ i don't have other better way yet ].

1. edit file "wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php".
2. Looking for the line 'public $From = 'root@localhost';'.
3. Change root@localhost to something else like name@yourhost.com. I don't know why but this work for me. :)

If you have programmed headers do not adopt post-values unfiltered!!
Often used in scripts, and often abused by spam mailings:



If somebody posts email="me@example.com
Bcc:someone1@example.com,someoneelse@example.com,..."
(with linebreak behind me@example.com)

You get following headers:

From: me@example.com
Bcc:someone1@example.com,someoneelse@example.com

Fixing sendmail take a long time to start

I notice that my database box[FC6+Oracle10.2] take along time to startup. Sendmail and sm-client very very slow to start[ about 5 minutes ]. There's something wrong in /etc/hosts file. 'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below. [root@ora10g ~]# newaliases WARNING: local host name (ora10g) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I? /etc/aliases: 76 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 765 bytes total [root@ora10g ~]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.55 ora10g [root@ora10g ~]# To fix this, custom hostname[ora10g] need to append to localhost line in /etc/hosts.

using Class.getResource() load resource file in Eclipse

There are many ways to load resource file in java app. What sun recommended is using Class.getResource(" resource_name ") or Class.getResourceAsStream(" resource_name ") then you will get URL and InputStream respectively. If resource_name is specified without "/", it will be prepend with Class package. So resource file must be in same place[folder structure] as the Class. What I love to do is call getResource() with "/" and put resource file at the root of package. This way i can have separate resource folder. below is in Eclipse, 1. From Package explorer right click src folder->click import 2. In import dialog, Choose General->File System ->next 3. from directory:->Browse to your resource folder. 4. to folder:-> I add "resource" as a folder name under src folder. then click "Finish". In the code, load resource with this.getClass().getResource("/resource/buttons1.png") or this.getClass().getResourceAs

Converting dat to mpeg file, to burn vcd on ubuntu

Creating vcd [from dat file] on WinXP, I use "Nero Burning Rom". It can burn dat file to vcd directly. On ubuntu, AFAIK, No burning cd software to burn dat to vcd. I use k3b but it can't burn dat file. It support only mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 format. Dat file need to convert to mpeg first. Thist post will show how I install and use vcdgear to convert dat file to mpeg file. pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$ wget http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz --04:21:14-- http://www.vcdgear.com/files/vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz => `vcdgear176-040415_linux.tar.gz' Resolving www.vcdgear.com... 66.98.192.104 Connecting to www.vcdgear.com|66.98.192.104|:80... connected.
