I think it’s more likely that email is one of the biggest vectors of spam and malware and it’s unmaintained MTAs that end up being used to generate a lot of bogus email. On top of that, a lot of ISPs are blocking outbound port 25 so MTAs in a default configuration can’t deliver mail off the host anymore anyway. Those issues have been around for many years. The removal of MTA's from linux distros is relatively recent, and came after climate-gate and DNC email fiascos raised the profile of email at high levels of enterprise management. I suspect you might be over-politicizing this issue. The Fedora discussion: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoDefaultSendmail#Detailed_Description It’s worth noting that they reference Ubuntu’s decision from 2007. If anything, Fedora’s decision is well past due. Local mail delivery isn’t really a common configuration anymore, so it makes sense to slim down the default install and leave installing an MTA to people who are willing to properly configure the MTA to forward messages to a proper mail drop. LSB requires a sendmail binary, but I think in this case LSB that’s out of date with modern usage. -- Jonathan Billings Not having sendmail by default is fine, so long as it's available. I can take it from there for my six systems. *Mark C.

Hi All,
I'm strugling with the C-function mktime. According to the man-pages it
returns "seconds since the Epoch". I tried to use this functions to get

When trying to get the diffrence between 30 Nov 2019 23:59:59 and 1 Dec 2019
00:00:00 (see code below) I expected to find 1 second difference but I find:

As output of the sample program. (and not 1577833199 1577833200 -1)
How should I read "seconds since the Epoch"
Is the output of mktime correct?
(I also tried 31 Nov and got the expected 1 second)
(should mktime not give an error for 31 Nov??)

Still moderated, correct? Look at https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-moderation-guide/63116. 2. Could we try it as a POC/pilot before committing to a switch-over?

This says to treat the pattern as a string and not a regex. That and surround the string with single quotes to be sure that the shell doesn't interpret it. *Mark C.

I'd check the firewall. I don't remember when firewalld was introduced.
I've also seen where upgrades to firewalld, iptables, sendmail, etc.,
have introduced changes like being enabled or not. If you weren't using
firewalld and the upgrade enabled it then the soap request (port 80?)
might now be blocked.

I noticed the same thing today while reconciling a few config files with
their ".rpmnew" versions for packages updated via dnf. I can't recall
which package it was though but I saw that "/usr/lib/jvm/jre" does't
exist ("/usr/lib/jvm/java" does).

Do you have the mlocate package installed? On F24: [mcallman@draco etc]$ rpm -q mlocate mlocate-0.26-14.fc24.x86_64 I don't think anacron or cron by themselves send mail unless a job they're running sends output to STDOUT or STDERR. Anacron/cron won't send me a daily logwatch report -- that's configured in logwatch. Anacron just runs the job. You might also need to have something such as sendmail installed that will do the mail delivery work. There was something in recent release notes about not needing sendmail any longer but I don't remember the details. /etc/crontab should be empty. The crond.service I believe runs what users set up in their respective crontab files, what's in /etc/crontab and also what's in /etc/cron.d. The file "0hourly" in /etc/cron.d has an

Anacron is what's used and that uses /etc/anacrontab. The last few
lines of the file:
#period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command
1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts
/etc/cron.daily
7 25 cron.weekly nice run-parts
/etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 45 cron.monthlynice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
I can't say if /etc/crontab is still used. It has no lines like what's
above to do anything.
As for mlocate it's now a (or part of a) service:
[mcallman@draco ~]$ systemctl | grep -i locate
mlocate-updatedb.timer
loaded active waiting Updates mlocate database every day

F22 rsyslog and logrotate: looks like a bug to me
I see this line in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog: /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2/dev/null` 2/dev/null||true The PID file for rsyslog is actually /var/run/rsyslogd.pid, therefore once logrotate runs the new log files, e.g., messages, maillog, etc., are empty.

If that doesn't do anything then try to rename resource files that gimp

BATV is a technique for rewriting the SMTP FROM address to include a cryptographic token that is unique to that email. Any bounces including one of those tokens must at least have seen that email; any bounces to the plain address must therefore have been sent in reply to something that didn’t go through your servers. BATV isn’t perfect, or at least, the rest of the Internet isn’t perfect. It does things according to specs in ways some things don’t expect. It also does require that all your outgoing email goes through BATV-rewriting servers. Alternatively, SpamAssassin has rules to detect bounces. A competent mail filtering program should be able to filter all bounces into a separate folder. Any spamfilter or network admin who tags email as spam according to From: is a moron. Now that I would dispute: if the email purports to come from a known spammer, then I don’t see why I shouldn’t gleefully reject or sort their email accordingly! You could compare it to an identity thief who stole the identity of a known terrorist and flew into Washington, London or Jerusalem under that identity. Hope this helps, James. I've been getting lots of spam with subjects like: Message for postmaster For postmaster To postmaster Message for root For root Message for uucp For uucp For daemon etc., etc., etc. Spamassassin scores them above my threshold score so they all are rejected with smtp error 540. Also, here's another spam pattern I see daily. This is from the log file that my spam filter writes out: envelope-to: mcall...@allmanpc.com envelope-to-R: rfc822;mcall...@allmanpc.com from: Canadian Pharmacy f.svc...@yahoo.com envelope-from: f.svc...@yahoo.com subject: Pharmacy Store : ED Med 1 + ED Med 2 ! received-name: p4FDDCEE6.dip.t-dialin.net received-addr: 79.221.206.230 envelope-recd: dns; p4FDDCEE6.dip.t-dialin.net ([:::79.221.206.230]) I've replaced the actual drug names with ED Med just in case anyone else blocks anything coming in with those names. The received-name and received-addr are the parsed values from the first Received: header. I'd reject this e-mail on the contents of the from line only, or due to the subject line only, or due to the fact that they say they're a yahoo.com e-mail but the box that handed my server the e-mail wasn't a yahoo.com server (and this isn't from a yahoo groups mailing list -- no list ID header).

Sorry for shouting, but I'm really trying to get your attention to focus on the question I'm asking instead of the one you want to answer. Reboot using a rescue disk (DVD, live CD, net install, who the bleep cares which). I haven't upgraded using any disk since maybe Fedora 10. If I recall correctly the rescue process tries to find your file systems. Does it succeed? It sounds like it should. When you get to a command prompt in rescue mode can you chroot /mnt/sysimage or wherever the rescue disk mounts your existing file system at? Does it look like everything is still there? What argument are you passing to grub2-install? /dev/root? Does /dev/root exist? From what I've read and had to do the argument to grub2-install is something like /dev/sda. What is/are the disk device(s) in /dev? Which device that you see has the MBR? If you run grub2-install on the proper device, e.g., /dev/sda, what happens? If grub2-install worked then before you reboot disable selinux (SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config, I think). Reboot and see what happens. If you can boot up OK then re-enable selinux. What happens? Does your graphic environment (KDE, Gnome, whatever) still work? I upgraded using yum. I also had to run grub2-mkconfig in addition to grub2-install. Took a little digging around to figure out that I needed to do that also. When I first rebooted I just got the Grub prompt. -- Mark C.
