This document covers how I have set up my Linux box to work as a Mail Server. The details will be specific to Arch Linux, but it will be be general enough for any *nix distribution if you have a knowledge of installing software packages, finding the location of configuration files, and starting/stoping services..
My goals in creating this mail system are to have all of my mail, from various email accounts, stored locally on my machine so I can access it anytime via SSH, the web, or imap. I wanted all of my mail delivered to my local user account and I wanted the spam to be sucked out and launched into space.

Walkability is about urban design that allows people to use walking (perhaps combined with cycling) as an important, if not dominant, means of getting around. Thus, people should be able to walk to work as well as walk to urban amenities like schools, parks, restaurants and shops. Obviously, walking cannot be the only means of urban mobility, especially in a large city. However, urban design can be oriented to walking as a way of life, including linkages to other forms of transport, such as buses, trains and so on.

We have given special care to achieve maximum accuracy of the output result.The timing are calculated with extreme accuacy with ±0.01 seconds, its unbelievable to employ such complex calculation on Java Enabled Mobile Phones and much much accurate than the Printed Copy of Panjika (Almanac) available in the Market. One sample is given below–
We use NASA's JPL DE406 ephemeris in a highly compressed format with some interpolations, Chapront Moon ELP-2000/82 for Lunar Ephemeris, The value used for the Moon's n-dot is -25.858 ["/cy2] (Last proved from Moon Laser Test) and ΔT from Morrison/Stephenson, using Espenak's (NASA) own polynomal description which are known as latest and most correct formula right now.

Some comparisons between various web servers. We look at features, sizes, and performance. The headers in the table are links to explanatory notes below. Bright green entries indicate something unusually good, and red entries are something bad, sometimes with a link to a note explaining why.
Don't get too excited over the performance figures. Most of these servers have enough oomph to keep a T1 saturated, running on a lowly 100MHz Pentium or maybe even a 486. Very very few web applications need more power than that. So, the fact that Apache is not that fast shouldn't be of concern to most people.

micro_httpd is a very small Unix-based HTTP server. It runs from inetd, which means its performance is poor. But for low-traffic sites, it's quite adequate. It implements all the basic features of an HTTP server, including:
* Security against ".." filename snooping.
* The common MIME types.
* Trailing-slash redirection.
* index.html
* Directory listings.All in about 200 lines of code.
