did somebody re-alias bbs to fronttalk? it no longer recognizes how much of
each item i've already read, which is more than a bit annoying. . . .

Someone did indeed do that, and you should be very cross with him.
If you haven't figured it out already, picospan is still very available. Just
type, uh, picospan!

actually, i've discovered that my .agora53.cf file has mysteriously been
reset---each item number is simply followed by two '0's, and on startup the
conference reports "1 newresponse item and 55 brandnew items" ....

As I said, it appeared that my .agoraxx.cf file was somehow corrupted.

I have not received any spam since some time yesterday. Did grex install a
spam filter? Usually there are floods of it Monday mornings.

I don't know if Grex has done anything, but I find that spam tends to
come and go in cycles.

I just got an X-RBL and an img since I last wrote. So I don't need Rane's
spam. Rane, try filtering JUST on X-RBL-Warning. /a/k/e/keesan/mail/filter
has a sample filter that you can modify. My filter is letting through only
about one spame very 2-3 days now.

As I think I mentioned, there is no sense my filtering since my mail at
Grex is 99% spam. I just have to scan my inbox for any non-spam, just
as you have to do for your spam bucket, since it might catch something
you want.

i forward all my mail to gmail, and the gmail spam filter works great.

I forward mine to my home system, where Spamcop does a pretty good job
tagging it. What's left gets taken care of by Thunderbird's statistical
filtering.
Now, if I could just do something about my ameritech.net account. It
gets about 60 spams a day. Has since before I even started using it.

My earthlink account got nothing but spam in it from day one. So I asked them
to give me a different email address and then I got two copies of each spam.
They were forwarding from my first address. Rane, if you use my filter you
won't get 99% spam any more, maybe 5%, less after you add a few of your own
filters.
I have not thrown out any real mail for a while, since I removed filters such
as 'bills' and 'deal' which are too general. (I had written someone with
subject line handbills, for instance).

Don't you look at your "throw-aways" to find messages that may have been
thrown away in error? That's all I do on my inbox. My inbox IS my "throw-away"
box.

My filter sets up a log of what went where. Then you go through the log,
searching on 'opening', and see what went to /dev/null or the inbox. Use pico
to search, or less (search on Opening). It shows you which filter caught
which mail, or which mail got through all the filters to the inbox.
Takes about 30 sec to get through when I check mail.

I just look at my inbox. Takes 10 seconds or less to decide if any is real
mail.

I'm going to give an incomplete and partial report on why Grex was down so
long.

That was odd. Try again.
I first heard Grex was down in an E-mail message from Krj saying that STeve
Andre was in the hospital. He'd been working on repairing Grex, but had to
be rushed off to the emergency room before he got very far. I'll leave
detailed reports on STeve's health to people who know a bit more about it,
but it was serious and he spent quite a bit of time in the hospital. I
presume he's home now, but haven't heard anything since Tuesday, when I think
he was still in the hospital.

That's terrible about STeve. I hope he recovers quickly.
