'toxic' is the hostname of this machine, magnesium.net. There are few if any spam filters here so if/whenever mail fails to reach me at thoughtt.org, mail *will* gt thru to this site. > > Regarding ns1.thought.org you can't just hope that it all works by > setting the rc.conf variables I mentioned.

I began by essentially swapping all of /etc from the Emachine to the HP (here). In /etc/mail originally I had several spam filter sites keeing me from tons of spam. tHE last change I made was to back out of the spam sites so that everything culd get thrru. Here is an ls -lt from /var/spool. drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 20992 Jul 14 18:13 mqueue drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 1536 Jul 14 11:45 clientmqueue drwxrwxr-x 2 uucp dialer 512 Jul 13 18:16 lock drwxr-xr-x 3 root daemon 512 Jun 3 09:58 output drwxrwxr-x 7 uucp uucp 512 Mar 16 09:23 uucp drwxrwxrwx 2 uucp uucp 512 Mar 16 09:23 uucppublic drwx-wx--- 3 root daemon 512 Feb 27 02:22 cups drwx------ 2 root daemon 512 Jan 10 2004 opielocks drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jan 10 2004 lpd Much of the stuff in mqueue is junk; some is from the -questions list I subscibed to four or five days ago. Initially, mail sent to kline@ns1.thought.org got thru. Mail to me c/o "kline@thought.org" (on tao.thought.org, where I live!) has never gotten thru. I think it is still bouncing; it does not even seem to be queued up. ---The only good thig is that since I changed the cable designation on oone server from dc0 to dc1, DCHP instantly gave it an IP addr and I can ssh easily around. The rest of it is a mystery. gary > > -- Gary Kline Seattle BSD Users' Group (seabug) | kline@magnesium.net Thought Unlimited Org's Alternate Email Site http://www.magnesium.net/~kline To live is not a necessity; but to live honorably...is a necessity. -Kant
