I typed Reply-To: instead of Reply-to: but that seems to have worked. At
least it shows up in the received header. Will the recipient's email program
ask if they want to reply to the reply-to rather than the from address?

The ".eml" format is how Microsoft usually does attachments. It's
proprietary, of course (those bastards!) but there's an option somewhere to
use plain-text or some other simple format.

".eml" has also been used as a virus vector.

This time Jim tried to email me as attachment sax.x and it disappeared en
route with no error message. I suggested he mail things with grex reply-to
and give up on webmail for writing mail. WCC also sent us server info -
smtp.wwwnet.org pop mail uses stu.wccnet.org (like webmail does).
I wonder if Jim named his file .eml or if WCC's mail program did that. He
said he had to use Opera to attach it but I think it was linux Opera. Lynx
would not do attachments to webmail and told us so.

Jim finally got it right and mailed me an attachment, at about the same time
that I figured out that to use non-webmail at wcc the regular login is
jdeigert@stu.wccnet.org and the email login is plain jdeigert. I have smtp
mail working now with 2 DOS mail programs, but WCC does not like the email
password (which worked for regular login and for webmail). No big deal, he
can use webmail to read his mail but it is a pain to write mail with it.

I have changed my filter to send a few things directly to /dev/null
(last line of the filter) instead of ....../bulk - viagra, via-gra, viakgra,
xanax, cialis, vicodin. Anything addressed to webmaster and me goes to
/dev/null. Have fun with your spam net.

/tmp has a lot of files called "newuser.xxxxx"
there is a lot of junk in /var/tmp
There seems to be no script to successfully clean up
everything.

There is a script, and it does a pretty good job. But thanks for pointing
out that it may overlook a few things.

Only 15 people "on" according to "finger", but this is probably due
to something refusing to allocate pty's.
Also, Grex is excruciatingly slow. Maybe someone can clear this problem?

It's the return of the cold weather. Grex moves slower in colder
weather.

We dialed 761-5041 and got screenfuls of gibberish and beeping scrolling by,
followed by a disconnect. Did this three times. Tried 761-3000 and got BUSY,
then tried again andgot through okay. Modem going haywire? Would this
indicate that hte last modem in the queue is the culprit. Antoher grex user
reporting things scrolling by and gave us her computer to fix. It is not
broken. She said grex also stopped letting her type anything (disconnect?).

Grex was down/unaviaolble between the hours of 12:45 and 15:20 GMT
(approximately). At one point it was inaccessible by tel;net but could be
pinged, then later it bgecame unpingable also. What happened?

I think /tmp filled up, but I'm not really sure. I came in to find that
a couple of the drives wouldn't fsck automatically and had to be fsck'd
manually.
I couldn't log on at the console and had to power-cycle the machine,
which probably contributed to the fsck problem. (Dirty shut-downs are
never nice.)
