[SLUG] olympics viewing
Hi. Does anyone know of a site where I can watch the olympics using a linux (non-windows) codec? I cant stand au.yahoo. Most other major sites are for their national viewing only (NBC, BBC etc.) It seems youtube is removing posts of events. I could go the torrent route but maybe there's a site out there that has what Im looking for... Kind regards.

http://newblogonstuff.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-watch-live-olympics-on-linux.html I cannot get it working because I cannot get the XML file. I think that the service has blocked new users by removing the XML. Here is teh GUI version of the above (0.4) download the deb and install I am using amd64 so force architecture. http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=728683 sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ../gsopcast_0.4.0-2_i386.deb All of this is useless without the channel information that is just not working right now.

Knowing the dictionary attacks that spammers do and how often I get thousands (litterally) of bounced emails that they send out using my email address, I vote for no response. If the email server spec allows you to tell when the mail is sent that is different, just that bounced reply is a very bad idea.

RFC 2821: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol It includes the following: ... a formal handoff of responsibility for the message occurs: the protocol requires that a server accept responsibility for either delivering a message or properly reporting the failure to do so. If an SMTP server has accepted the task of relaying the mail and later finds that the destination is incorrect or that the mail cannot be delivered for some other reason, then it MUST construct an undeliverable mail notification message and send it to the originator of the undeliverable mail (as indicated by the reverse- path). Formats specified for non-delivery reports by other standards (see, for example, [24, 25]) SHOULD be used if possible. That said, many mail server administrators accept and eat viruses and sometimes spam without ever sending an error. (Spam may or may not be stored somewhere where the addressee can optionally retrieve it, viruses not so much.) It's far less common to accept and eat mail to entirely non-valid addresses. The standard practice as far as I know is to reject them immediately whereever possible (ie not to accept them, go check with the list of valid users, and then generate a bounce and send it out separately). -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

R Some ISP's do bounce a message , so you know the status , so you R know it is futile to try again to the same address. The best thing to do is to refuse to accept a message for an invalid user at SMTP conversation time. That way the sending MX gets to notice the problem, and generate a bounce iff appropriate. As a general rule bounces are evil.

They should /reject/ mails sent to non-existent addresses, and then /your/ MTA could generate a bounce. They don't even seem to do that, and instead just accept mail for any user, which is silly. -- -rob -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
