As I mentioned before, my backtalk/bbs viewing history got zapped during the
OS upgrade. Trying to re-catch-up on old posts has uncovered a new problem:
viewing history is not being updated (or not updated correctly) for
conferences other than Agora.
After reading new items and responses on Agora, I can use the NEXT command
to cycle through conferences in my list, but if I read the new items in a
conference (which, since viewing history was lost, is all items posted since
the beginning) then quit and restart bbs and again cycle through my conference
list with NEXT, the same conferences come up again showing new items, but
their the same items as I previously read.
Does that make any sense?

So, since yesterday I'm not getting any new mail, with these errors in my
procmail logfile:
procmail: Lock failure on "/var/mail/jhesse.lock"
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/mail/jhesse"
From jhesse@fastmail.net Thu Jun 1 14:14:27 2017
Subject: testfoo
Folder: **Bounced**
My mail client sees nothing over imap. (No old or new mail) elm works as
normal, though.
Do I need to change something?

Maybe related to jhesse's problem, yesterday I checked my Grex mail box for
the first time since the upgrade and was greeted with the message "Can't open
folder /var/mail/papa: no such folder" instead of the usual "0 messages in
inbox".

Mail is now delivered into your home directory; so your mail spool file
is in ~/Mailbox. If you're sourcing the global dot files, you should get an
environmnet variable that tells mail programs and the like where to find
your mail.

resp:103 Oh sorry; missed this earlier today. As as resp:105. If you're
setting $MAIL, then unset it; modify your .procmailrc accordingly.

Thanks! .procmailrc is fixed, so I can get mail again through elm. IMAP and
POP still not working, though. My mail client says it can connect to both
and I'm not seeing anything contrary in the logs.
The server daemon is dovecot, correct? I don't know enough to know the
configuration.

Yes, IMAP is a problem now. It doesn't seem to know to look in our home
directory for the Mailbox file. I suspect this requires a bit of tweaking
of the dovecot config, but it is do-able.

Funny... I updated the dovecot config the
other day. It should work. I'm out of town at
the moment, but will try and see about it if I
can login.

Ahhh..found it. The dovecot config file moved from the last
version on Grex until now. I've updated the correct version. It
should work again.

Agree. I'm receiving and sending e-mail now. Just took a few tweaks to
my setup (.login, .tcshrc, and .procmailrc).

tod's problem has been happening a lot since the OS upgrade.
The whole fronttalk bookmark system has been wonky. Before the upgrade I had
paged through the backlog in every conference. After the OS upgrade I found
my conference bookmarks all reset. But now if I read through the backlog on
a conference, then check the conference again later, the new item and response
numbers aren't changed.

P.S. The new items filter on the web interface works fine.

Does "fixseen" or "fix" repair it per cf?

Not really.
I'm not sure what's up with it; I rather suspect a bug in backtalk.

I can't resolve reddit.com and news.ycombinator.com dns address.
Is this a temporary error or intended behavior?

reddit.com didn't resolve for me from lynx. But yahoo.com did.
Maybe it was a slight internet glitch.
