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?
