I've never seen /var/spool/mail full before, so I had to improvise. I
found some files I could safely delete or move to temporarily make some
space. Valerie started a reap, which should end up deleteing half the
accounts on Grex (it's been a long time since we ran a reap) and making
plenty of space everywhere.
The shortage of space on /d was pretty much just one user.

re 220 You should run reaps more often. Or buy more hard drives.

Grex should consider upgrading its ancient version of Pine. Versions
earlier than 4.57 have a remotely exploitable security hole.

Haven't struggled with it myself, but my impression is that updating
Pine is non-trivial on our ancient OS.
Installing "nano" shouldn't be a big deal. I'll look at it when I
get time, unless some other staffer beats me to it.

Use elm. It's the best.

I have been a supporter of Grex in the past by having several small
non-profit organizations with which I have been associated join Grex and
use it at least as their website and board mail reflector. The latter,
however, has become untenable because of spam. There is nearly ten times
more spam being distributed to the boards than board correspondence. Is
there any hope of soon having access to a filter here for spam? I will
probably move an organization off Grex (and thereby cancel membership)
unless there is some recourse against this avalanche of junk e-mail.

It may not get better elsewhere. My Grex account is actually on the low end
as far as the amount of spam I get. My ameritech.net account gets over 50
spams a day, and has since before I started using it! My work account gets
about 100 a day, about 90% of which is caught by a statistical filter.
I agree that Grex needs better spam filtering, but I want the ability to
turn it off if I choose to. I've had too many bad experiences with mail
disappearing because of spam filters -- no bounce message or anything, just
disappearing into the ether with no warning.

(NB: This is the System Problems item from Summer, 2003, not Fall, 2004, so
it doesn't have quite the audience the item in the current agora would get.)

Could Grex use the Spamhaus Block List (SBL) to block spam? See

We will have to put a kludge in it as cyberspace.org sometimes ends
up on various spamblock lists. Might be worth considering though.

I'm telnetting in from Madeira Beach FL. I cannot connect to Grex directly
as I get a "not responding" response, but I have telnetted into CAEN, and
then telnetted over from there. Why won't Grex respond directly?

Grex is responding very slowly. I'm not surprised you are having
trouble.
