(I > wish to know how to send a mail to postmaster@uunet.uu.net! :-)) The above statement is absolute and complete crap. If you have no idea what you are talking about, you should shut up. UUNET is "limited" to 200 simultaneous sendmails. When people use it as a dumping ground, mail backs up. Things seem to be back to normal. No filters in the cisco (cisco would probably love to sell the code that lets you do that), nor elsewhere. Although I am sorely tempted to start filter mail from astem.or.jp as it proves to be totally content free. ---rick
