A frequent occurrence in applications is to send out emails. In order to test that behavior sufficiently during development, I usually use one of two options. On Windows you can use Mailster (preferred) or you can use postfix etc. on Mac/Linux (Have not been able to get Mailster going on my Mac)
So far on my Mac until recently it was as easy as to simply do: sudo postfix start and I was good to go. Unfortunately, my domain hoster does not accept mail on port 25 anymore. And the simple relay stopped working.
As it turns out though, you can easily relay to a different port (My hoster accepts port 26):
sudo vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
I added a line (near # INTERNET OR INTRANET):
relayhost = myHost.com:26
And finally I reloaded my postfix configuration using sudo postfix reload and I was back in business once again.

Installing Ubuntu on a Dell Latitude - Part II
Hibernate is still not working :-( But I must admit that I have not pursued it much - Suspend works. I was more interested in getting Flash and Java running in Firefox. Having a 64bit Ubuntu is nice but it has a minor pitfall. There is a lack of important plugins for the 64bit version of FF.
I came across the following forum entry: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537
The offered script works great. It installs a 32bit version of Firefox, the Flash plugin etc.
