Hi, Is this list supposed keep messages for six hours before sending them? I sent a message at five tonight, and it has just been recieved (at 11pm). I don't think it's the list, I'm pretty sure it's my email provider (usa.net). I seem to be having a few problems with connecting to them today.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it is usa.net - I have sent lots of messages to myself and haven't recieved any back yet - but I think it could also be something on my local system - I ran smailtest, it worked for local mail, but the remote has yet to reply. I have sent myself a mail to my local address (thomson.slip.vuw.ac.nz) and it worked. Maybe the linux counter reply is slow - I tried an hour ago, it was supposed to send to the local address here but hasn't. When I first set up smail I remember the reply came in about five minutes. Does this mean that usa.net is slow? I can also access it using a web brower, and it does the same thing - slow messages. I have been using usa.net for about a month and haven't had any problems yet. I think I'll mail the administrator. I don't want to change free email servers, as people now send to this address, plus it is the only one I found that let me use pop - I use fetchmail to download my mail. Thanks for any help, Tim. BTW, if you reply to this at usa.net, I won't recieve it for hours, If you reply to this within about seven hours, please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I'm leaving the system logged on for awhile. Thanks for any help, Tim. --- Would you buy a car with the hood welded shut? http://www.debian.org Debian/GNU Linux ... the maintainable operating system. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
