Kudos to Chris and RCN in this case. In this case you are the MTA (eg postfix) and that RCN would send email directly to your host. In any case, when postfix was rejecting the large emails, RCN interpreted that as a non-fatal, so it would resend at a later time. Your fix, was to let your system acc

Seeking advice on terminating an email loop. A friend with an RCN account sent me an email with a very large attachment. My ISP's server bounced it back to him, and RCN then rebounced it. This produced an email loop that has been running for about a week, bombarding my friend's account. My ISP (h

So the recent discussion of SSDs and Linux has made me wonder about Seagate's hybrid drives. I.e. Disk drives with a small amount of flash memory (typically 8gig). In a desktop system, my tendency would be install both a traditional magnetic media disk and an SSD. However, in a laptop that may
