The other grexer said 512 is working properly now but I asked him to describe
exactly what was wrong before.

I don't see the last line of what I wrote above. I keep getting disconnected
from 512 but I can at least dial back. A short file download showed that most
of the packets had CRC errors - noisy line? (WCC connection is even deader
than grex this weekend).

I moved several hundred accounts from /a to /c and did some other clean-up
on /a. There's now about 550 Mbytes of free space on /a, which should last
for a while (one hopes.)
I'd meant to do this much sooner but there hasn't been an opportune time to
do it. I'm in the process of a household move and my home computers have
been packed up and put into storage until I work out where I'm going to wind
up, and I can't really spare the time to do it from work -- short quick fixes
from work are OK but although it's not that complex, moving several hundred
homedirs and making sure that things still work properly afterwards still
isn't something you want to do while in a rush.
This weekend I finally borrowed a laptop from work and found some time to
make the fix. So I'm sorry for the inconvenience it's caused in the meantime;
I hope this will alleviate the /a crisis long enough for me to get settled in
to my new living quarters where I'll have time to look into making a longer-
term fix.

Mike, we love you! When can you start on a spam filter?

Realistically speaking, not until after I've moved, and only then after
some thought about how to make it work simply and with minimal resource
consumption. I'm disappointed by the disk consumption problem with using
SpamAssassin with per-user Bayesian filtering. If we expect a lot of
people to elect filtering I'd like to figure out a Better Way so that
we can offer it as an opt-in item in newuser without having all the
space we save by filtering out Spam eaten up by spamfilter token databases..

What I would like in a spam filter are the option of just creating a file
(.filter?) of the terms on which to filter, and to have the term on which
a message was filtered to be appended to the file in which filtered
messages are saved. I'm using the PINE filter on another server which
works pretty well, but also catches quite a bit of "good" mail...and I
don't know which of my filter terms caught it, to help me refine the list
of terms.

Re resp:104: SpamAssassin works pretty well even without Bayes. It uses
a separate set of scores, in that situation. It's still a CPU hog, though.

Rane, have you tried using procmail, with a set of your own terms to filter
on? I have a log file showing which filter caught what.
Can I keep deleting the .spamassassin files?

No...haven't had time to set that up, since you first wrote about it.
What are all your relevant files, so I can see what's involved? I want
it to be REALLY EASY.

You can copy over ~keesan/mail/filter and modify it slightly, also
~keesan/.forward. Change keesan to rcurl. Change the white list or delete
it. Check the ~rcurl/mail/from file frequently for false positives and then
delete it. Email me with questions that are not universally relevant.
Spamassassin missed one mail today, sent 'To' some nonexistent grexer. I find
that spamassassin together with a few 'To' filters gets everything now, but
it is wasting space.

I stopped by Provide.net this afternoon. I switched the cables at the modem
end, putting each modem back on its original line but with the other cable.
I made this change around a quarter of five. Please let me know what effect
this change has had on dial-up. (Report here rather than in e-mail, though.)

Dialup is working fine just now, but I don't recall which number I dialed.
Probably 512. Joe, could Bill L have a try at getting the 28.8K modem bank
to work? He has a setup that lets him test things offline and lots of manuals
and experience with modems, and also a vested interest since grex is his only
internet connection.

It was 513 that worked. Right now both lines were busy.

Is there something wrong with backtalk? I logged in today, and ALL items in
agora are now "unread". I caught up with everything on Friday, and this is
a little annoying. Help? And thanks in advance.

probably the file that records what you've read got either corrupted or
dumped. Usually this is because the partition you're on filled while you were
logged in, so changes couldn't be saved, but other reasons are possible.

When I telnet from work, my paged reading of bbs items or e-mail works fine.
When I telnet from home, the last line is either omitted or overwritten with
spaces. What might account for the difference? And if I wished to treat the
symptom, how could I reduce my page size line count by 1?

Sometimes I also lose my last line - I will check if telnetted makes a
difference. Have you tried ssh instead?
