This happens because when someone changes an item, it is considered as
something new. Valerie ran a program that erased her responses to a number
of items and that counts as a change, thus all those items come up as having
new responses.

You can do 'fixseen' for all those conferences where Valerie deleted her
responses.
I will check my procmail filter to see if I did something stupid, but normally
I would expect procmail to just send anything it caught to the bulk folder,
not delete it. I will ask for a copy of the bounced mails.
And try sending myself mail to grex from somewhere else.

re #115: my mail is mostly addressed to "mcnally@cyberspace.org"
I sent a test message to your account yesterday. Presumably you
haven't received it, but I got no bounce message.
I'd highly recommend turning off your procmail filter for a while
and testing whether you get mail without it..

Why are ancient item headings and responses appearing in many other
conferences without new responses being entered? Here is a brief selection
from the consumer cf:
> Item 90: Water Filters
> Entered by Valerie Mates (valerie) on Tue, Nov 4, 1997 (23:27):
> <expurgated & scribbled>
>
> 1 new of 22 responses total.
> #22 of 22: by Rane Curl (rcurl) on Sat, Feb 28, 1998 (13:36):
> They add chlorine *and* ammonia. Chloramine itself is a highly explosive
> liquid. The chloramine is formed in solution (no, its not explosive in
> solution).
> Respond or pass?
> Item 92: Advertising and public services
> Entered by C. Keesan (keesan) on Thu, Mar 5, 1998 (17:12):
> Respond or pass?
> Item 98: Looking for a plumber
> Entered by Valerie Mates (valerie) on Tue, Oct 27, 1998 (22:10):

It has caused me a considerable waste of time to run fixseen in a large
number of cfs that I watch.

Rane: Valerie decided to leave Grex, and to delete all the responses she's
ever made on Grex. So every item she ever responded to shows up as new.

Great... (that's a contradiction, so it is false but humerous, although
the extra dots are required to convey the sense in which it is said).

Backtalk doesn't allow a fw to delete posts from items, even if the post was
by the fw himself. (FWs can delete complete items though)

How do I turn off procmail? Today I got two spams address to @grex.org but
nothing from real people including McNally who sent me the text mail.

One way is just to rename the .forward file in your home directory. For
instance, type "!mv .forward .forward.old".

I think you can turn off procmail by removing that line in .forward which
refers to procmail or simple solution is to just rename .forward to a
different name for some time. like mv .forward bkp.forward.

I put a # in front of the line in .forward to disable it - is that right?
I since today I got two more spame to @grex.org I just sent myself one more
test mail to keesan@grex.org.
The friend who got back bounced mail said it was bounced on Jan 3 with a 'host
name lookup failure for cyberspace.org'. When was our domain name problem
fixed? Perhaps the spammers have some way to get through that real people
don't know about?
I have not had any bounced mail when I mailed to my grex account from another
account in the last two days.

I *think* sendmail respects # as a comment character in .forward, but
I have encountered other mailers in the past that didn't. I think it
is better to move the .forward to a different file name if you aren't
using it right now.
I've observed no domain problems for the last few days now, not even in
asia (for some reason, dns on servers I frequent in Japan and Hong
Kong took a bit longer than the US based ones I use to notice the dns
corrections).
