Following is a reply that I'm forwarding for one of our list members that is currently being blocked from Eskimo.com. His real message is at the bottom (regarding backing up a mail database), but I'm including his message to me as well hoping maybe someone on the list uses EIMS and has dealt with its open relay problems before and may be able to give him info he can forward to his ISPs server admin.

Bandes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chris, [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: Jeff McWard, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, Chris! Would you post this for me. It looks like my problem has returned. It was cleared up for a few days. I don't know what's going on. My ISP is tearing his hair out! I looked at the "ordb.org" which they mention, but I don't have any idea what is has to do with me. ---------------- Begin Forwarded Message ---------------- Date: 12/23/03 10:30 AM Received: 12/23/03 9:55 AM From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: William D.

Further, when desperate, Tex-Edit Plus will act as a "canopener" for the database. (Set it to open ALL documents.) There is a bunch of garbage in there, but your mail is there, too. It is like picking thru the rubble after an earthquake to get it out, but you can do so by just finding what you need and copying it out. I did it once and I'm more careful now (rebuilding more frequently and using the "Archive"), so that I don't have to do it again.
