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.

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.

It does resolve okay, then just doesn't connect. I don't
use reddit.com anyway, so it doesn't bother me. Other sites
do connect.

So it would seem that unbound running on Grex isn't happy returning

bash is my default shell and in my .bashrc I add the directories ~/man and
~/share/man to my MANPATH variable. If I echo $MANPATH, the tilda in the paths
is correctly expanded to /p/a/papa, but if I run man or apropos for an unknown
command, the error message indicates the programs are searching my old home
directory /u/p/a/papa.

resp:128 That's actually correct. /p is a symbolic link to /u/p (don't
ask why...filesystem limitations). So /p/a/papa is /u/p/a/papa; the
error message must expand out the readlink() results into the pathname
(or rather, the commands that generate the error message do that).
