PC Virus WARNING.
Over the past two weeks, I have received emails from various ISPs around the world, that my email to some email address on that ISP has been bounced back to me as it had an attachment containing a computer virus. So far, I do not recognize every intended recipient email address that is returned in the bounce messages. I do not send emails with attachments, as I know that they are used for sending intended and unintended virii. I also do not open any emails containing attachments. I have a top anti virii software package installed on my PC as part of my firewall. Prior to sending this email to you, I ran a virus check on my PC and nothing was found. I have posted this problem to an anti virii / spam list and have been told that, essentially, there is nothing that I can do to track down from where this problem has its source. Apparently, my email address - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - is being mis used by one or more unauthorized parties to spread one or more PC virii. I am not the only person who is having their email address so used. IF YOU RECEIVE ANY EMAIL FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED], CONTAINING AN ATTACHMENT, IT DID NOT COME FROM ME. DO NOT OPEN THIS EMAIL AND IMMEDIATELY DELETE IT. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO THE SAME FOR ALL OTHER EMAILS CONTAINING ATTACHMENTS. Bruce Chesley Truth is a terrible cross to bear.

Re: problems posting to ACCMAIL
Dear Gerry, Am 24.08.2003, um 22:29, gab Gerry zu Protokoll... For some strange reason, Alexander believes that AOL should conform to some outdated technology like UUCP. AOL like almost everybody else has long ago moved forward. Even I know sites that still prefer to use UUCP because they are seldomly online. But, hey Alexander, it's not about UUCP, it's about the SMTP to UUCP gateway server you are using. Your mails are blocked because your SMTP server and it's DNS is not properly configured, that's all. Even if you'd submit your messages by SMTP through this server, it would be blocked. Hope you get the point! ;) Cheers, Johannes -- Ich habe mein Tagebuch verbrannt.

Re: problems posting to ACCMAIL
Hi ACCMailers ... I think this discussion is beginning to drift off-topic, and we should not be talking about the respective merits of UUCP and other internet protocols. (By the way, there is an excellent mailing list for such matters at http://www.postel.org/mailman/listinfo/internet-history/ ) However, I will add one observation of my own. On several occasions, my posts to the AOL listserv (as subscriber and as moderator) have been rejected. To have them accepted, all I have had to do is send to the listserv in lower case, ie: as [EMAIL PROTECTED]not as [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- szs `at` szs `dot` net ~~~ ACCMAIL Info (automatically generated) ~~ To UNSUBscribe: Send UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To get the ACCMAIL FAQ: Send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and enter only this line in the BODY of the note: send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email ~
UUCP2SMTP - best-practice configuration
Hi all, Stemming on the topic we just had about delivering mail via UUCP to SMTP hosts with strong protection, here is how I used to get round it for my UUCP hosts. I no longer use this config, however, due to me having no more UUCP hosts left on my system, as they have all moved to other systems. I deligated the UUCP hosts to subdomains on hodgsonfamily.org, i.e, uucphost.hodgsonfamily.org. The system responsible for doing UUCP2SMTP is called brookfield.hodgsonfamily.org, with an ip address of 195.166.147.102. When brookfield sends via SMTP to the relevant recipient's mail server, it uses the following parameter for the helo string: helo hodgsonfamily.org I created the following DNS records: uucphost.hodgsonfamily.org. in a 195.166.147.102 uucphost.hodgsonfamily.org. in mx 10 brookfield.hodgsonfamily.org. uucphost.hodgsonfamily.org. in mx 20 backup-mx-provider.com brookfield.hodgsonfamily.org. in a 195.166.147.102 I then created a reverse zone on my ISP's nameserver to point 195.166.147.102 at hodgsonfamily.org, and set the MTA to use that helo argument. Now when someone dials into my system and uses UUCP, they send the message via UUCP to brookfield, which in turn sends it to the relevant MX record. The reverse envelope is [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is looked up in the DNS, it has both A and MX records pointing to the host that is sending the mail, so it passes the DNS check, and when brookfield sends the helo parameter of hodgsonfamily.org, this passes the PTR check, and so is all well and good. I also got the system working when the user had his own domain, in this case he set the nameservers to nameservers I had control over (ns1.hodgsonfamily.org, and a number of backups), and I created the records as above: mydomain.com. in a 195.166.147.102 mydomain.com. in mx 10 brookfield.hodgsonfamily.org. [...] I never had any complaints about mail getting lost with this setup. Hope this helps, Andrew. -- Andrew Hodgson, Bromyard, Herefordshire, UK.
