Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Outbound SMTP from Microsoft Outlook for Mac
by Jason White 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

For the record, I debugged the SMTP transaction today and solved it. It appears that Microsoft Outlook for Mac doesn't support the "plain" authentication method for outbound SMTP/SASL connections, even though it's fine for IMAP. Changing the authentication mechanisms in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf to auth_mechanisms = plain login fixed it. On 2/13/18, 20:05, "Blind-sysadmins on behalf of Jason White via Blind-sysadmins" <blind-sysadmins-bounces(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org on behalf of blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> wrote: This is mildly interesting: I have a Postfix server configured to offer SASL on port 587. Dovecot is providing the SASL support. Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac fails to send messages out via my server, reporting that it doesn't support any of the available authentication methods. Meanwhile, Microsoft Outlook for Windows can send messages via the server without any difficulties. I've played with configuration settings, but with no luck. If I try to enable logging on Outlook for Mac, various operations (including, crucially, creating a new message) become unavailable, and it never seems to finish reading the inbox. Without logging enabled, it's able to read IMAP folders fine. This doesn't really matter - I have plenty of other ways of sending mail, even when using the Mac, but if anyone here has clues about the mystery, I would be interested. It's worth noting that Outlook 2016 for Mac works reasonably well with VoiceOver. Unfortunately, it doesn't implement equivalents to many of the keyboard shortcuts (especially for commands in the ribbon) found in the Windows version. Thus, for example, changing to a different folder is a slow process - I haven't found a faster method than scrolling through the list with cursor keys. Nevertheless, someone at Microsoft has evidently been paying attention to its accessibility, and that's a positive development. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins

accessing a natted vm
by David Mehler 20 Apr '18

Hello, I've got VMware workstation I think it's 12 or 13 running on win10 x64. I've got several Linux guests all natted. I'd like to access running services on those guests. When I go to for example 192.168.237.133 attempting to pull up the default apache page I get a 404 site not found. I checked on the guest the apache is running and there is no firewall active on the guest. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

setting up raid
by David Mehler 16 Apr '18

Hello, I'm going to be getting some hard drives soon. I'd like to raid them. I will have three drives each 4TB in size. My motherboard does do raid 0,1,5,and I think 10, system running win10 x64. I am wondering if there's an accessible way to set up redundant raid with these drives? Thanks. Dave.

NVDA and Windows Audio Service (audiodg.exe)

Hi All > I’m having an alarming issue with NVDA eating all my ram through the Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation Process; audiodg.exe. > Quite a technical issue – I’ll > Try and explain it the best I can. > I had been using my laptop, running Windows 10 and NVDA 2018.1.1, for about 3 hours doing a lot of > Emails and document editing using Microsoft word; so not that advanced. Suddenly, I got a blue screen error telling me my virtual memory had been used up and my laptop needed to restart. > I was naturally curious as to what could’ve, first used so much ram, then that it needed to eat all my virtual memory up. > I consulted task manager and found that the windows audio device graph isolation process – file audiodg.exe was using just over a GB of ram! I new this wasn’t normal and as I was watching it was increasing very fast. > It only increases when NVDA is talking though, that’s the weird thing. I’ve verified that all my audio settings are normal and my audio drivers are up to date. There is nothing else I have running that comes close to using this much ram. > After a while the audiodg.exe program uses so much ram that it shifts some into virtual to try and free some ram. This process then continues until over 30 GB of virtual has been used; then I get the blue screen error. > I then tried using narrator to see what happened to the amount of ram audiodg.exe was using and it was a normal amount and wasn’t increasing. I then played some music and the results were fine again. > Has anyone had this issue before that could help me come to a solution on how to fix this weird leak.
