[newbie] Forwarded Request + missing messages
Hi I'm posting this on behalf of my friend Jim, who's also subscribed to the list. He's made several attempts to send it himself but, for some reason, it doesn't appear on the list. Yet he continues to receive the massive amount of mail that everyone else is sending! Regards Lance Here's Jim's message; Hey I seem to remember a small app that one ran under doze to configure - i.e. modem and nic. Then booted a spare machine, with said modem and nic and it booted a small Linux that acted as a proxy/firewall. It could run on low end boxes, i.e. 486's with 8MB and no hard drive. Please tell me I didn't dream this and remind of the name and location for download. TIA Jim

All this so that people are 'free' to post 200 off-topic messages a day to the list? So the responsibility falls on the recipient to control what he gets in his Inbox. What about the responsibility of posters to stay within the published mandate of the list? I've spent more time deleting than reading over the last few days. Lance
[Re: Re: [newbie] 7.1 Post-install problem - re-post! ]
Mark Thanks for this. try reinstalling and this time don't do the HDD optimization. I don't think with a drive that big and a system as efficient as linux that you're going to really need to worry about optimizing, and I suspect that there is a small , but apparently noticable enough hardware conflict going on there. I also suspect that it will all evaporate as soon as you install without optimizing. I don't actually remember 'choosing' HDD optimisation! I'll have to go do it again... paying more attention this time :-). I don't think I'll get a chance to try it before Saturday but I'll let you know the result. Thanks again. Lance
[Re: [newbie] multiple email messages ]
Hi I've had a similar problem using Netscape 4.7x on Windows on more than one occasion. With me, though, it was Sent messages constantly re-appearing in the Unsent folder, causing errors. The first time I managed to clear it by emptying my Trash folder - I had thousands of messages in it, going back months. The next time it happened this cure didn't work, and I had to resort to editing the actual files that contained the stored messages. Can't remember the name of the files but I can look them up if you need them. Hope this helps.

I've been getting double, sometimes quadruple messages from the newslist for a while. But now my inbox is getting full with the same messages even after I delete them over and over again. I'm using Netscape 4.7x? to read my mail (communicator) and already made sure that it's not set to leave messages on the server. I don't want to flood anybody's mailbox with messages about flooded mailbox, but since no one else mentioned a problem, I figuired it might not be a server p-roblem. Is anyone experiencing a similar problem? ANd can anyone help me fix this? Thanks! -Paul R _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
