We'll take you up on that, Nick, and I'll pencil you into a CLUGwiki speaking slot accordingly:

Chris will soon be able to attach dates to the offerings there.

my spam assassin stopped working sometime last evening, due to operator
error no doubt.

I had 140 odd spams in my inbox this morning instead of in the spam
folder. my mail does not go via my isp, i run my own mail server, with
the result that  the isp does not get its dibs into processing my mail.

It just goes to show how much we have come to depend on such tools,
either our own or the isp's.

would spam filtering be a good topic for a talk? or did volker cover it?
(sorry i wasn't there to see). I don't profess to be an expert, but
someone once said that to teach you only need to know a little more than
your pupils :)

[1] this is all on top of the 615 connection attempts since log rollover
at 4.00 am today to random addresses at rout dot co dot nz that get
dropped simply because the recipient does not exist locally.

Please pardon my slowness here. Inbox has run away on me now.

On top of that, RedHat9 is indicating imminent self-destruction, so I'll be upgrading to Ubuntu Release 1 (thanks Jim) asap. This will have me off-list a bit longer still, transfering archives etc.

RH9 OOffice1.0.2 seemed to overbuffer (? non-vital work hadn't been saved), which locked the previously emminently stable platform solid. Reboot returned my first ever kernel oops on this setup (2.4.20-8). Xscreensaver has again demonstrated its (already common) ability to lock up the system too (but with no ill-timed mouse-movement instigation this time).

All the argument one needs for an upgrade cycle..

I don't imagine anyone's interested in the log reports.

Cheers,

Rik
