Message-ID: <8706210317.AA18042@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: Sun, 21-Jun-87 01:57:17 EDT Article-I.D.: ucbvax.8706210317.AA18042 Posted: Sun Jun 21 01:57:17 1987 Date-Received: Mon, 22-Jun-87 06:45:11 EDT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Distribution: world Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 62 Howdy. Quick question (or problem report). Every time I send a message to INFO-VAX, I get two failed mail messages. Both are timeout messages from odin. Why? Are certain nodes on extended vacation? Or is it a problem that only happens from this corner?
