Last week I posted a list of HP equipment that we're offering for sale.
If you have responded, and have NOT received a reply from me, please
re-send.  At least one piece of mail (and possibly several) has/have
been dropped on the floor, due to the fact that one of the so-called
"intelligent" mailers out there somewhere is effecting the creation,
on our system, of uucp execute files which result in our mailer being
handed a destination it isn't able to deal with.

I've kludged around the problem at this end, so everything should be OK
from this point on.  But please re-submit your offer(s) if you haven't
heard back from me via e-mail by the time you read this.  Thanx.

PS:  In the above uucp address, the three paths to sickkids are listed
in decreasing order of reliability.  The problems at ihnp4 have been
discussed at length in another newsgroup.  Mail through decvax tends
to be reliable most of the time, but often days (or even weeks) go by
when they don't connect to us at all.  Your best bet is to find a path
to utzoo that doesn't use either of the other two.  However, given that
recent crypto-intelligent mailers silently ignore your routing and pick
paths of their own, this may not be feasible ...
