What? Huh? I guess I should pay more attention...

I suppose I could look at your old email and find out what you said, 
but that's too much work and it's a bit after the first hour of 
2002. So, speaking only for myself, I must say that I took no 
offense whatsoever. I think, anyway.

Ugh. DNS...

I had a Q650 running fetchmail, postfix and Courier-IMAP. Worked 
fine, although IMAP was a bit slow -- POP would probably be a bit 
faster, if you don't mind being forced to always read your email on 
the same computer. Fetchmail was set up to grab mail from three 
different accounts on two remote servers via POP every 3 minutes 
(I'm impatient... but I should really make it more like 10 minutes 
just to be nice).

Oh, and I was running ipf, ipnat, ntpd, httpd, sshd, and even djbdns 
for a while... no problems, except for when I was running on a 
- -CURRENT kernel.

HTH,
Daniel
