I frequently get spam with the "From:" address forged to look like
it came from somebody I know. As Chris says, the most likely
explanation is that both addresses were lifted by a virus from the
address book on some third party's infected (Windows) machine.

Is this the proper item in which to report an e-mail "difficulty"?

For I'm not sure how long now an e-quaintance who receives my grex e-mail OK
cannot get mail delivered [back] to grex. After a few days, he gets a bounce
message that looks like this:
From: "Mail Delivery System" <MAILER-DAEMON@out1.mx.nwbl.wi.voyager.net>
To: <auser@voyager.net>
Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 11:34 AM
Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
This is the Postfix program at host out1.mx.nwbl.wi.voyager.net.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned
below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.
For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>
If you do so, please include this problem report.
You can delete your own text from the message returned below.
The Postfix program
<auser@cyberspace.org>: connect to
grex.cyberspace.org[216.93.104.34]: read timeout
I guess I should contact the voyager.net postmaster (my e-quaintance isn't
computer savvy), but before I do, does the grex "side" have anything to
comment on about this?

My _guess_ is that they've set a too-short timeout on the voyager end.
Hmm...
Jan 18 02:08:37 grex sendmail[19179]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg
(out0.mx.nwbl.wi.voyager.net): error on output channel
sending "220 ESMTP spoken here": Connection refused by
out0.mx.nwbl.wi.voyager.net
The connection is supposed to be something like:
} telnet grex.cyberspace.org 25
} Trying 216.93.104.34...
} Connected to grex.cyberspace.org.
} Escape character is '^]'.
} 220-grex.cyberspace.org Sendmail 8.6.13/8.6.12 ready at Mon, 19 Jan 2004
13:57:13 -0500
} 220 ESMTP spoken here
Apparently, that second line never gets back to out?.mx.nwbl.wi.voyager.net,
and then things time-out/break.

Does that mean that the grex side is "failing" in some way, or is it still
something on the voyager.net side. BTW, I'm very sure that my e-quaintance
would have mentioned if this problem ocurred with other systems he tries to
send e-mail to...

I think it's on the voyager side: grex is trying to send something, but
voyager doesn't accept it.

(Voyager is rejecting the message with a "time out" error, but grex is
reporting "connection refused.")

Use PicoSPAN, not backtalk, when mass-forgetting items.

OKay, one simple and possibly pwertinent question. Is it possible to do a
Fixseen on an individual Item instead of a whole ocnference? Seems somebody
has offered us the benefit of Greek classics, and sooner or later, somebody
will come along and do it as some sort of implicit censorship to ANY item,
or author of an item they might dislike.
No, I do not know Scripting, much less C. maybe the idea is of use,
in any case.

"fixseen" or "seen" defaults to all items in a conference if no arguments
are given.
If you want to "fix" a single item, just add that item's number as an
argument. For example:
fix 1
seen 1
fixseen 1
all do the same thing, and mark all the responses in item 1 as
already read.

Yes, you can, though I think if you want to just deal with agora and the
repeated items, fixseen 100-171 would do the trick.

re 216 'r 100-171 pass' also works.
Or just 'forget 100-171'. That too.

Read since jan 23 pass in the conferences that I check regularly generated
a 2+ megabyte file. No way I can spare the connect time to download it, let
alone the real-time to read it. This is more than an order of magnitude
greater than the usual traffic. What's going on here?
