I don't know much about this. It certainly won't eliminate all spam.

TS's message is from dmr.ca. If you do "!host dmr.ca" it says
dmr.ca mail is handled by mail.dmr.ca
dmr.ca mail is handled by mail.montreal.istar.net
So evidentally mail sent to dmr.ca goes someplace. That means it is legal
as far as the mail blocks are concerned. A lot of spam these days does
not include a legal return address. But some does.

if mail with neither origin nor destination of grex is blocked, then will i
not receive mail fprwarded from another account to grex without a to: line
including grex?

The To: line is just part of the message text, and has nothing to do with
where the mail protocols think the message is going. Most mail programs put
on a To: line so that the reader can tell who the message is for. As long
as the RCPT line in the SMTP transaction says to deliver it to you on Grex,
it will work fine.

hmmmmm, spam is one step ahead of the brains
let's hope the brains can catch up, as if they had nothing else to do.
/sigh
and i don't even HAVE a phone to take "advantage" of this "special
offer!" double /sigh

TS, there is *no* automated system which will filter out all junk email like
that, without running a serious risk of filtering out wanted, non-junk email.
After all, the real differnce between a marketing mailing list sending junk
mail to 60000 people who haven't asked for it & (say) the hammered-dulcimer
lists I subscribe to is really only that those receiving the latter have asked
to be put on the list. (And there are only a couple of hundred recipients
on the dulcimer lists, of course.)

i'm still getting gibberish across the bottom of my screen at least
once a night. sometimes hitting space gets past it and then it's okay, other
times i have to log off and redial. i went to change and checked. i was set
for 24 lines but i only have 78 across. when i try to run the key function
it does to gibberish as soon as i hit backspace. any suggestions?

Picospan keeps telling me
mkids too small
and sometimes
mkfds too small
whenever I read a response tonight. (Actually it wasn't doing it until a few
minutes ago.) (I should have said "whenever I read an item".)

Gibson, try dialing into 761-3000 and see if that helps. Not as fast as the
761-5041 pau have been using, but it may help to solve the problem.

Can someone tell me why it takes so long for me to get logged in?
I've been trying for days and have had to give up several times,
today I'm just stubborn. IT;s both via the net and dialup.
I login/passwd then it gets to where it tells me I have no mail
and then hangs for about 10 minutes. I can't do anything but wait.
Once I'm here, the speed is fine. And no, I've made no chages to
my .login.

Re 226: goose, your login shell is set to bash. You might want to run
the "change" program and see if switching it to something else starts
faster.

Re 226: goose, if you continue to use bash, you might want to put lines such
as these in your .profile:
HISTFILESIZE=25
export HISTFILESIZE
If I recall, when I first switched to bash, it seemed to take a *long* time
coming up. It appeared then that reading through my command-history file was
at least part of the problem.

Thanks folks. I changed back to csh, twiddled with my .login and things seem
to run a bit better. I understand the bottom of the passwd issues and am
looking forward to potential speed increases.

Yeah, it got pretty hairy there about 11pm. I gave up and disconnected, it
was so slow. Anyone know what happened?
