osx mountain lion (10.8)

there is a bug with postfix configuration with Mountain Lion that causes an error. This fixed it for me:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Server/Mail/Data/spool
sudo /usr/sbin/postfix set-permissions
sudo /usr/sbin/postfix start

email

if you can't send email from your desktop (in case port 25 is blocked on your network), setup postfix to send email through your gmail account.

spotlight

follow these directions for turning off spotlight indexing.

future

1. simple installer
2. other platforms?
3. strava is working on an upload api and deprecating the email interface
