Does anybody know of a simple utility to convert .cgm files into something more common, less proprietary ?

@pattonb to get an idea of how many dupes use the following

fdupes -r -m /directory(share to scan)

@DustinB3403 some folks claim jdupes is faster, I have used both, and did not much of a difference.
Both work well.

Is it just me or am I seeing less compliance in the setup of postmaster@fqdn

it does help, any solutions for samba file servers, and WSD ?

is it prudent to use cidr notation for an include record in a SPF record, or is a fqdn acceptable ? or both ?

@JaredBusch incorrect, Scott has summarized succinctly

@JaredBusch correct, they are tools to determine validity of incoming email. If you have a mail server , ( I would think with a static ip), why you wouldn't have a ptr record that matches your mailserver, is asking for issues.

@JaredBusch SPF has it flaws, however, in this case , ptr check yields 2 fqdn, and no listing in the SPF to confirm validity of sender.

@JaredBusch true, and your point is ?

@scottalanmiller ok, thanks, I am sure it isn't a spammer, it is an email, for me, I was expecting. The sender 'city of calgary"
has their ptr record setup that way.

@pattonb argh the ip IS NOT listed in their spf record, can't type today

@scottalanmiller I have read it. the question is/was, how do you deal with this situation when it occurs (rarely), is there a way other than whitelisting the offending ip for the ptr. and the ip is listed in their spf list.

@JaredBusch the question is more about a ptr record

@dbeato it has been my experience that, dns checks eliminates loads of spam

I thought there was an rfc that stipulates, 1 fqdn with 1 ip per ptr record.

I should clarify, the ptr record single ip) has 2 fqdn, how does zimbra ( or any mailserver), know which fqdn
to verify, My understanding it attempts to verify the 'greeting' sever by doing a ptr lookup, and if it doesn't match, then
the attempted connection is rejected, as there is a mismatch with the sending server, and the ptr record.

Running a Zimbra server, and came across this today. 2 fqdn and 1 ip (ptr lookup).

Is there a simple way of avoiding the rejection of the email ?

ip in questions is 198.160.191.6 ( sending server)

and the pandemonium..is the sending server.

@dafyre Yes, ntfs

What are folks using to recover a deleted/corrupted partition these days.
I haven't had to do this in a number of years, at that time 'test disk' was my go to utility.
