I'd like to help but your sendmail daemon isn't running (so I can't send you email), your finger information doesn't list phone numbers (so I can't call you), you have messages turned off (so I can't talk(1) you), but you DO have everyone's Social Security number listed (so I can file bogus 1099 forms). *Sigh* Can you provide the name of a site that's associated with the disappearing mail? /pbp -- Paul Pomes UUCP: {att,iuvax,uunet}!uiucuxc!paul Internet, BITNET: paul@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu US Mail: UofIllinois, CSO, 1304 W Springfield Ave, Urbana, IL 61801-2910
