At pizza we were talking about other web videos of people doing
entertaining and dangerous things. The Mythbusters' disappearing
cement truck is hard to top.
Here was my favorite example, this guy uses 3 to 5 gallons of liquid
oxygen to start your charcoal grill. He does it in shirt sleeves with
a 5 gal bucket.
Don't try this at home.

I have four servers on 3 different DSL lines running RedHat 7.3 with
sendmail 8.11.6
I was on vacation at the time, but mid-day (13:00) on January 9th all of
them started behaving wierdly.
Instead of the occassional email, perhaps 95% of all incoming emails now
show in the log as follows:
Jan 9 09:41:17 bach sendmail[25179]: NOQUEUE: mail5.schaeffer.com
[24.106.95.27] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
Jan 11 00:02:12 bach sendmail[14018]: NOQUEUE: h11009.upc-h.chello.nl
[62.194.11.9] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
Jan 11 00:10:44 bach sendmail[14127]: NOQUEUE:
bay0-omc2-s35.bay0.hotmail.com [65.54.246.171] did not issue
MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
Jan 11 00:13:23 bach sendmail[14148]: NOQUEUE: root@localhost did not issue
MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
Jan 11 00:13:50 bach sendmail[14151]: NOQUEUE:
84.95.106.53.cable.012.net.il [84.95.106.53] did notissue
MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
The first one is legitimate mail, the others appear to be spam
Much of the 50K pieces/month of spam I get are being trapped at the server
in this manner before even getting to my spam filters (a good thing), but
while some legitimate email is getting through, some is being rejected with
this kind of message.
Does anyone (a) have any idea what's happening here (b) have any idea how
to fix it.
Need more info? Just ask.

when anyone asks for help with pictures, i always mention image magic

if the two parts are different enough, i'm sure imagemagick can seperate them for you.

Subject: [Wlug] GIMP Question
Any GIMP experts here? Is there a way to extract the differences
between two images? I have an image of just a background and an image
of item on said background. I'd like to get the image of just the
item. It wouldn't be hard to write a program to do it but I figured
gimp might already have it.

HI Everybody,
This is your monthly reminder (hand generated) regarding our upcoming
WLUG meeting, to be held on Thursday, January 7th, 2007, at 7:00 PM in
the Access Grid Room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA.
Many of you have suggested some good topics in our recent email threads.
I propose that this meeting be a round table discussion of those and
any other topics of interest.
I'll bring my new laptop for discussion as well. It is a Linux
Certified LC2464T running Kubuntu. However, I hope somebody has a
DVI-SVGA adapter which I can borrow for the meeting, since I don't yet
have one. Since this is my first experience with a Debian type of
distribution, I could offer my first impressions. More info here:
http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux-laptop-lc2464t.html
If the discussion runs dry, ask me if I passed my Amateur Radio
technician exam (which I'm taking on Wednesday). I'm curious to see
what I can do with this and Linux.
I can also give an update on the kernel device driver that I'm writing
for the Delcom USB I/O demo board. I am planning to do a full
presentation on this sometime soon, after I get more stuff working. A
couple of simple features are working right now. Perhaps I'll do this
for either the February or March meeting. More info here:
http://www.delcom-eng.com/productdetails.asp?productnum=802004
As always, we'll adjourn to the Tech Pizza Restaurant on Highland Street
for some discussion afterwards. All are welcome to attend!
See ya later, and Happy New Year!
Andy

Anyone using VMWare Workstation hosted on Linux? I'd be interested in an
installation how-to with tips and tricks.

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security,
deserve neither liberty or security --Ben Franklin
How about RedHat Linux vs RedHat Fedora Core Linux.
Is it possible to run a professional installation based on Fedora Core? Must one be a REAL pro?
