Hi everybody!
We have recently rented a root server in germany and installed debian
sarge on it. A ftp share as large as the install HD is included in the

Is DLT a sensible choice at this day and age? Any caveats with above

Can list admin please remove this user from the mailing list? I complained several
times both the user and the postmasters, to no avail.
Out of office autoresponders on mailing list, and a repeat offense at that.

This is what I *have* to do.
Again: I have to deal with people who want me to do insane

At least don't try to do that with AMANDA.
The question is: can I force
