[eug-lug]Question: video email
A friend of mine sent me this link to a new pyramid scheme: http://www.vmdirect.com/ It requires Java (preferably 1.4.2). Here's a video email from him: http://www.vmdirect.com/dvmuser/viewemail.jspx?ClientUser=8a81b283-fb5f520f-00fb-5f74b9e1-016csent=200403rcpt=8a81b283-fb5f520f-00fb-5f74bb4f-016e if anyone cares to look (again, ya gotta have Java installed). I took a quick look for RFC's regarding video email but it looks like I could easily spend the rest of the day learning about this. I'm betting that someone on the list already knows. I don't get involved in pyramid schemes, but I'm curious about the tech and whether there are RFCs coming down the pike that already cover this type of stuff. I suppose that my friend will make a small pile of money. I doubt that he'll make significant money over the long term, but I always seem to underestimate people's capacity for stupidity. Maybe, as he predicts, next year there really will be a million people paying $5 a month for the ability to send video emails. Whatever. I'd just like to hear everyone else's take on this.

I just installed ifplugd on my new laptop. It works very well, so far. The problem with ifplugd was that it tended to keep my HD from spinning down on the gateway. I don't know if this is still a problem or not. ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

Well, people still pay for M$ products, because they think there is no alternative. Goes for a lot of things atually, people paying for what they can have for free. As far as RFCs on video email, there seem to be lots in the works, but I don't see too many implementations of these RFCs. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
Re: [eug-lug]combining shell streams
That's pretty sweet Cory. Thanks for the brief cut
tutorial as well:
- cut -f 1 -d : file, means print the first
column, delimited by :
I am an awk user by habit and would usually do an:
$ awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/passwd
for this, but cut saves some typing and seems more
logical for these cases where you don't need to do
selective (regex) printing.

What you typed is about the limit of my awk knowledge. Cut has the annoying
condition that delimeters are one character. So if there is some input:
happy.comOK
test.com REJECT
$ cut -f 2 -d \-- space after \
Will print a space, specifically the 2nd space after the com on each column.
$ awk '{print $2}'
will print the OK and REJECT column.

[eug-lug]stream limits? or algorithm help
What is the limit on streams? Here's what I'm intending to do and perhaps someone has a better solution: I have a list of email addresses for a virtual email host: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to group by domain, append an ' OK' and insert a '$domain REJECT' after each domain block. The output should look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK happy.com REJECT [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK blah.com REJECT [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK test.org REJECT I want to process the input once for scalability. Right now I have a small perl script that opens up 1 through # of domains as streams (ie 1, 2, 3). Then I intend to capture these streams in order. The streams are all stored in a hash. However something tells me this is only an exercise in stream fun and not the ideal approach. Pseudo code, Perl or shell solutions are welcome. Here's a naive way I could do this with bash, however it calls ldapdump repeatedly. ldapdump is a perl script that dumps all email addresses from an ldap server. ( for i in `cat destination_domains` ; do ldapdump | egrep $i | sed -e 's/$/ OK/'; echo $i REJECT ; done ) valid_local_senders Finally, here's why: Postfix has the capability to reject email for addresses that don't exist on it's local domains. However it does not have the native configured ability to reject email From: non-existent addresses on it's local domains. Well I figured out how to configure it. Now for a specific set of domains that the local mail server is responsible for, email must be either to or from valid users.

[eug-lug]freebsd mv symlink moves linked dir?!
Over a solaris nfs, in freebsd I told it to mv a symlink to another directory. However the linked directory was moved into the target dir instead of the symlink. What's up with that?! Is that because I was over nfs, or is it because of freebsd mv? Linux mv moves symlinks, although I'm not sure about nfs. Freebsd ls is aware that the files are symlinks, so why not mv? When I rm'ed the symlink, it properly removed the symlink and not the linked dir.
