Exim4 and PHP and PHP-CGI mail() function using incorrect From: and applying Sender: headers.

If you’re using Exim4 and PHP as a module or as a CGI with suexec. You may have noticed some issues with your mail. Specifically you would have noticed that either the “From:” header was using “[email protected]” or “[email protected] name, its also possibly that you had an additional header called “Sender:”. There are two things you need to do to fix this. You first need to make sure that your “php.ini” has the following value “sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i”. Which is the default, double check this variable as it might be set to something else.

Next you want to make sure that you have Exim4 configued properly, if you use Debian Etch then you should be fine. However if you change the default configs or have a different setup. Then make sure you have set “local_from_check = false” inside “exim4.conf.template” for Debian Etch and if you don’t use Debian then check the exim configs.

Western Digital developing 20,000RPM drives

That's right, this isn't a joke.
The new drive will be very similar to the recently-released VelociRaptor, in that it’ll be a 2.5in drive with a custom 3.5in housing built around it. Details are incredibly light at this stage, given that the product is still in development, and we don’t even have a release timeframe at the moment. However, our sources said that the drive will be ‘silent’ – that’s the last thing I would have expected from a drive with platters spinning at 20,000 RPM. Western Digital is apparently working on silencing the beast by improving the housing technology, which will now not just act as a heatsink, but also as a noise cancelling device. We’d also hope that the drive enclosure has some vibration dampening technology as well, because that’s also likely to be a problem given the high spindle speeds.
