While it's off-topic, I actually learned quite an interesting information about my website from Webmaster Tools. There is one thing Webmaster Tools show which isn't so easy to get from server logs - it is, how the users are finding your page, ie. what Google query brought them to your site. I learned a few quite unexpected things about what phrases in web search brought users to my site. Some of them were really, really unexpected :) But that's off-topic as I said. > As to the bounced message being "quite important", how would one have sent > it to somebody in the 1990s who was trapped in e.g. the AOL or Compuserve > walled gardens? The telephone and postal service still work just fine. In 1990s you had no printing shops where you can just email a file, they will print it for you and you go and pick it up. That was my case :). And it was a quite important document that I needed to have urgently printed at the destination of my travel while I was travelling. I had no USB drive with me to bring the file on it, as the need to print it happened quite unexpectedly. Finally I managed to send it using sender address from a different domain, that I keep as a backup just for such cases, as it isn't the first time I have trouble with mailing to Google (I wrote about it many times here already). -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
