This is the first time I've been able to log in since Sunday Oct 2.
What's the story?

On Saturday, Oct. 8, during the short interval between Grex outages, I
discovered three rather large items in my email inbox (97K, 96K, and 97K).
They were delivery failure notifications (DFNs) which seemed to indicate
that mail, which I never sent, was sent with my return address in the
headers.
Those three items bounced, causing me to receive a DFN for each. If the
original emails were spam, then the DFNs might have been the tip of the
ice berg compared to the number of emails which may have actually been
delivered to viable addresses.
The following is the header of the first of the three DFNs:
Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 09:51:04 +0530
From: Mail Delivery System <postmaster@apnpdcl.co.in>
To: rksjr@cyberspace.org
Subject: Delivery failure notification
The following is supposedly the header of the original email which was
included in the same (first) DFN:
Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 10:00:25 +0530
From: rksjr@cyberspace.org
To: drbrain@ziemlich.org
Subject: STATUS
I saved the full headers of all three DFNs.
I am wondering if anyone else might have received similar missives.

Re. #31: The first and third DFNs were from the same postmaster:
From: Mail Delivery System <postmaster@apnpdcl.co.in>
From: postmaster@manage.cyberoam
From: Mail Delivery System <postmaster@apnpdcl.co.in>
The following line was from the full header of the second DFN:
Received: from spooler by apnpdcl.co.in
Thus indicating that all three DFNs were associated with the same
"apnpdcl.co.in".
The three addressees of the original emails referred to in the DFNs were
different:
To: drbrain@ziemlich.org
<munishwar.bajwa@pec.ac.in>:
To: matt@oreilly.com
Has anyone else received similar notifications?

Hard to say. There are a lot of viruses, etc, out there that generate mail
from more-or-less random addresses. I think it likely that the rejection
notices you received are caused by such malware.

I've just removed some things from /log which bought back
a little space while I look further into it.

If it's "practically every command", then i'll guess that it's process
accounting, not a keystroke logger. Probably some staffer searching
for the cause of all the crashes turned that on in hopes of finding a
program that runs right before every crash or some similar smoking gun.
It'd be nice to imagine that somebody is actually taking the time to
check the process accounting logs after every crash. Process accounting
is a notorious disk-filler...

The first time I tried to log in (via SSH, from a Windows freeware client):
-bash in malloc(): error: recursive call
(and immediate disconnect; the second time worked.)

Pine isn't working right since the system was brought back up. It does not
show the full INBOX. Mine has 19 messages but when opening it in pine
only 15 plus part of a 16th are shown.
