'toxic' is the hostname of this machine, magnesium.net.
There are few if any spam filters here so if/whenever mail
fails to reach me at thoughtt.org, mail *will* gt thru to
this site.

Good points. I began by essentially swapping all of
/etc from the Emachine to the HP (here). In /etc/mail
originally I had several spam filter sites keeing me from
tons of spam. tHE last change I made was to back out of
the spam sites so that everything culd get thrru.
Here is an ls -lt from /var/spool.

Much of the stuff in mqueue is junk; some is from the
-questions list I subscibed to four or five days ago.
Initially, mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] got
thru. Mail to me c/o "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (on tao.thought.org,
where I live!) has never gotten thru. I think it is
still bouncing; it does not even seem to be queued up.
---The only good thig is that since I changed the cable
designation on oone server from dc0 to dc1, DCHP instantly
gave it an IP addr and I can ssh easily around. The rest
of it is a mystery.
