I don't seem to be receiving mail.  I know of at least two messages that have
been sent to me in the last day, but mailx still returns "No mail for dcat",
and mutt and pine complain about a non-existant mailspool file (which would
be normal if I didn't have mail in it, but I do).

I've gotten the no mailspool file errors from PINE & Mutt before, but they
went away when I got new mail; this doesn't seem to be happening this time.

And no, I don't have a .forward file.

Hmm...

Looks like you have something now.

Re #153: Are you using ssh or telnet?  SSH doesn't always set the MAIL
variable right, leaving mailx and Pine unable to find your spool file. 
If you have mail when you telnet in, but not when you ssh, add a line to
your .profile to set MAIL to whatever it's set to when you telnet in. 
That's what I had to do.  This problem really puzzled me for a while, too.

Thank you Gull, that does seem to have done it.  Now I just have to figure
out what file to put that in to have it read in time for the 'You have new
mail' message at logon.  .zshenv (the normal place for it such things in zsh,
IIRC) doesn't seem to be early enough.

For CSH, the order of execution is .cshrc and then .login

I SSH in and have had no problem with the MAIL variable getting set.  It might
be the shell failling to set it.  Still, good advice.

Could be.  I use bash as my shell, and I had the problem.

The net connection seems to be still down.

(actually, it appears to be a DNS problem; I'm currently on via telnet,
having used the IP address.)
gelinas
response 162 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 16 11:56 UTC 2003

It does indeed appear to be a DNS problem; I can make connections from grex
to the outside world.  (I'm in the pumpkin right now.)

FWIW, named is running on grex.

response 163 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 16 12:12 UTC 2003

Oh.  I forgot to mention:  one of grex's secondary name servers appears
to be off the net itself right now.  The other one seems to be having a
different problem, but I don't know what that problem is: it has grex's
NS records, but not the address, mail exchange or other records.

I suspect that both are suffering effects of the recent blackout.

/tmp became full a few minutes here before 3pm.  That means e-mail replies
can't be sent...

Got dropped twice earlier this evening, calling -3596.

Also, some asshole has filled /a to the brim.

It's still "almost" full.  There's about 2.5 megs free.

You would say that.  You're lucky enough to have a home directory on /d.

Dear Grex:
        What's with the frellin' hangin' up of the phone when I dial in?

I've seen this too, sometimes, recently.  Had to give up & dial in later.
