Alive and well, and it has processed 6000 requests for things so far
this year.

Please be sure of two things when you access it:
1.  you give a viable reply address to it, either in a From: line,
a Reply-To: header, or a PATH command within the message itself.

2.  you don't use a name that contains any system type words, such as
Admin, root, (either the actual login name, or the comment name).
The archive server bounces those to be as 'Trouble' because it cannot
tell if its a mail loop or not.  All I do with them is see if it really
looks like a system name, and the deep six them, or a Joe Root and then
forward them.

I have also tried at least twice and gotten no response.  Either
the server is not responding, or the mail is bouncing.

Ideas?  Help?
