News software can _always_ surprise me :-) > -- > -- Salvador Pinto Abreu spa@fct.unl.pt > Universidade Nova de Lisboa, PORTUGAL The Fidonet gateway egsgate.fidonet.org is retransmitting old news with new message-IDs and bogus From: lines. If you want to file a complaint, postmaster@f98.n250.z1.fidonet.org or postmaster@egsgate.fidonet.org should be the right place to send it. Don't expect a prompt, courteous response. The last time I reported an egsgate problem, I got no answer at all, so I posted a message in news.admin. The egsgate operator ranted at me for weeks, denying that there was a problem and accusing me of ill will. It might be more efficient to just install a global kill for Fidonet. ---- Steve Yelvington, Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota, USA / steve@thelake.mn.org
