Motivation. To switch to quality mail servers, like sendmail, qmail, or exim. :-)
Also, noticed Lookout Express sometimes prepends a message with a random length snippet of what was in my clipboard. (!) The cable company's mail server at charter.net (Communigate pro) is sluggish at times, randomly drops messages silently, delivers hours or days later (on rare occasions). It's motivation enough for me to decide to violate their user agreement for the Nth degree by setting up yet another piece of server software, my own mail server running exim. :-) It's on the TODO list now. Leif P.S. TODO list (no particular order): 1) Encode some WAV files to MP3 of new CDs I just received. 2) Miscellaneous turtle aquarium errands and fiddlings 3) Install and configure cygwin environment 4) Compile Mozilla Firebird from source, with DOM Inspector support 5) Finish working on a Mozilla Firebird Skin (need DOM Inspector) 6) Finish IOElement SODA PHP 7) Setup exim 8) Wash that sink full of dirty dishes. :-) 9) Clean space on hard drives ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Melvin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 11:44 AM Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Mail problem... > speaking of mail problems.. > > Frag. > anyways, the text was: > > May admins around the world (hundreds to thousands) are racing to > upgrade and reconfigure their email servers (outgoing) to combat spam and > email worms. > > Of course, this will lead to many miss-configurations and some bad Software > choices > (who the hell uses exchange when they can avoid it!?!?) > > In my case, the outgoing relay server is refusing to send some of my > messages (error 550 not allowed to send to that address) > > Also I have seen some of my messages "stutter" or show up multiple times in > a persons inbox..
