I’m wondering if the recent Sourceforge attack has anything to do with RPMFusion’s download1 host not responding.

I use ssmtp for my MTA (mail transfer agent) under Fedora. Up till now I’ve always just moved /usr/sbin/sendmail out of the way and symlinked it to where I have ssmtp installed. Today, after upgrading a work machine to F14, I finally bit the bullet and figured out how to […]
