      To me personally, nope, haven't chatted in netmail with TJ in ages.
Once in a while from Ed tho', but he and I link directly rather than via TJ.
From TJ to anyone else in the rest of the world, dunno, I just grep'd my logs
for your name, and "egli" came up nil.  I archive logs on a daily basis, and
really don't like wandering through them unless it's REALLY important.
Something more than a few days old, to me isn't all that important.

      We gave up bouncing, as way too many were to invalid/illegal addresses,
and the queue got kinda plugged.  Like maybe 50-100 thousand  per week, I'd
guess mostly to spammers using forged addresses, and maybe some virii.  So now
all we do is nuke any identified virii, notify the original recipient that a
message apparently from so-and-so was identified as having a potential virus
atttached. As far as spam goes, it's archived on a spare 100gig drive, and
after 1 week, nuked.  The 1 week delay is just in case there is a legit
message mistakenly sidelined.  So far not one of our clients has asked us for
access to their spam file.

      We only are a small isp, just under a thousand domains hosted.  We find
that PostFix works well enough for us, no reason to look into switching.  It
was enough of an effort switching maybe half our systems to PostFix from
Sendmail.

      The tapes are stored offsite, so it'll have to wait until I go there,
which won't be this week for sure, and probably not next week as I'll be out
of town most days.  That I get paid for, unlike recovering lost keycodes.

      Shoulda followed the AllFix registration instructions and stored a copy
in a safe place.  :)
