No subpoena ever written can get blood from a stone: You cannot produce
what you do not have. If you don't back up the mail spool, you don't have
back ups of the mail spool to produce.

Unless the mail software really does enforce mail quotas, we really don't want
mail files in the users' space. Because someone sends me spam, I've exceeded
my disk quota?

I'm not sure, but I think that /newdum is the script that is used to do
backups on Grex. It does not appear to back up the mail spool. It also
does not appear to back up /s, which is where my home directory is.

We haven't backed up the mail spool in many years.

I have not received any mail except for 2 spams since Jan 1. I wrote three
friends asking them to send mail to keesan@grex.org. I sent myself two mails
just now to grex.org and cyberspace.org (but not grex.cyberspace.org). They
have not arrived. Are other people getting non-spam mail from anywhere? I
usually get 5-10 emails a day from real people.

Yeah. /bbs/errorlog's world readable. Why shouldn't the previous version
be the same?

I've been getting all kinds of mail myself. No one I usually hear from has
failed to write, and no one else has reported problems.

I still have not received the two mails I sent myself yesterday, or replies
from three friends, one of whom phoned and said all his mails to me were
bouncing. I will try writing @grex.cyberspace.org. So far no mail since Jan
1 except 2 spams. I normally use @grex.org. Mike and Colleen, to what
address are your mails arriving? grex, cyberspace, or grex.cyberspace?

What is the error message in the rejection notices? Knowing that would help
diagnose the problem.
If you like, ask him to send the rejections to you at another address, then
you can paste in the text from the rejection notice.

Once I had set up my procmail wrongly , and it was rejecting all messages.
Just thought you might want to check that too.

Re 113 re 109 (talking to himself?): Why should the error log be world
readable in the first place?

I've been getting mail normally from a couple mailing lists I'm on,
ebay, and any number of spammers. I use "cyberspace.org" as the host
part of my address.
Maybe you should temporarily turn off procmail and make sure it's not
deleting your mail for you.

At the risk of indulging in an exercise in futility, I'd like to not ethat
I keep getting items coming up which allegedly have new responses, but where
new responses are no-whee to be seen, and all i get is the title of the item
and the author.

Thanks for the explanation, but that might need a little more explaining! ;-)

Valerie wrote a script before she left that allows one to scribble and
expurgate one's responses en masse. Apparently that causes the items where
one's done so to come up new.

Ah, so that's what's happening. In that case, apologies to you, twila, for
the harsh tone in that other item.

I should say, too, that I didn't plan on doing this in the current agora. I
am not leaving Grex, but was upset by all of the hoopla this week.
