I've now reset the quotas on /tmp for all users who have logged in since the
middle of December (Dec 19 14:45 2004, to be precise).
I've also set newuser to assign the new quota to any new users.

I note that there were a couple of connections on tty01 today, before SBC
took the lines down for repair. So I did get the modems connected to the
'right' lines this time. :)

Thanks again Joe. Clever of you not to assign new quotas to non-using users
who would just get more spam.
Today my abridged spam filter posted above caught 13 of my 15 spams that
arrived since midnight: 3 X-message, 3 img.src, 1 java, 2 medication, 2 meds,
1 pills, 1 prescripiton, also (using the longer filter) a generic.drug and
a To: true. Before I rearranged the order of filters half of the spams were
caught because of the To: line. It is interesting how most of my current
spam is due to our lack of national health insurance or care.

I think SBC has finished the work on our telephone lines.

I've got a "system non-problem" to report. Typically I get at least
50 spam e-mails per day. This morning there were only 5 spams.
And just now I checked, and I have received *no* mail at all!
What happened? Did someone connect a spam filter?

I tried to send an e-mail (from within Pine) and failed on
three successive attempts. The third time I noticed a briefly
flashed message in the status line at the bottom, something
about "Error 451, error writing spool file, mail not sent."
(not an exact quote.)

[Mail not sent. Sending error: 451 Error while writing spool file]

There are some overgrown log files in /var/log that could probably
be rotated and compressed to help alleviate the crunch.

I'm not familiar with that file, so I can't help, eprom. Drop a line to
either cfadm@cyberspace.org or staff@cyberspace.org.

I can't telnet to grex, but ssh works.
Telnet is failing from different machines in different places.

Yep, cannot reach cyberspace.org via telnet. This is being posted via
backtalk (web).

This morning someone originally from Samarkand sent me a tel asking if I was
admin (maybe because I was dialled in) and trying to say something about a
problem with inetd and port settings. He was I think trying to let me know
how to fix the problem so I asked him to explain to staff@. After which we
discussed languages and cooking for 3 hours! Jews from Samarkand speak
Bokhari as well as about 5 other local languages some of which I never heard
of. His family was killed in the 90s and he escaped via Greece, where the
local Uzbeks were threatening him so he came here and is doing something with
software that he finds boring but which lets him chat all morning.
Does Win98 have ssh capabilities? A friend just called to ask how she can
access grex now that Chelsea is a long-distance call and telnet is dead.
She has been sending in her dues faithfully and hoping grex would stabilize,
silly girl.

same thing as marcvh noted a few hours ago. grex does not respond to
telnet, and hasnt been responding to telnet all evening, but does
respond to ssh (which Im on currently) and backtalk. why would this
be happening?
