You know in the Matrix, when agent Smith took off his
ear plug :) I bet
Felix has no idea :)
It could be he is running SMTP on public IP as well and SMTP is not
configured properly
I don't know what triggered whatever this is about. The deloptes post I'm replying
to doesn't link
to any email I received since yesterday. Trash got compacted and out last night. The only
place I
use SMTP is in SeaMonkey. I have no idea anything to do with the movie Matrix or any of
its
sequels, since I've never watched any of them, besides having avoided all of Keanu
Reeves' movies
since seeing the original Bill & Ted.
I did have trouble with this mailing list a long time ago that I was not able to resolve
with Tim
until I borrowed someone's gmail account to use to communicate with Tim.
I'm often thinking there is a feud going on between Earthlink and Yahoo that makes
each other's
email black hole. Currently my trash has 124 items in it, of which none include yahoo.com
in
visible headers.
I'm subscriber to too many email lists to keep track of. Days I get less than 100
emails are
uncommon. 300 isn't unusual. Thus NAICT, Earthlink email does what I need done.
