The horrors. It happened twice in 2001 and then again in 2003. Let's review these errors starting with this one... http://archives.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/2001-September/032799.html ...this is what was sent to the list by mistake: "Do you think you could help me out for one minute? I have a small problem with smoothwall. My question is this, I cant get out to the net from my network. I can go to the smooth wall box and ping the work friom it but can't from anyother box. All the boxs on the local entwork can see eachother and even see the smooth box, but nothing out. I know very little about gateways and nat ..... etc so I have not clue on how to set up port forwarding ..ect. I have been reading but not sure how to get it to work with dhcp from my isp. "smoothwall IP's DHCP and internal 192.168.1.1(green). The etc/host file has only 2 entries, 1 localhost 127.... 2nd 192.168.1.1 should there not be another entry for the DHCP from my ISP? what should it be? It's DHCP so I can't hard code it..... also if I do a route -n it only gives me the internal network IP 192.168.1.1, should there not be another entry for the DHCP? so it knows where to route outgoing request?" Wow. That was a huge embarrassment. Here's example #2: http://archives.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/2001-September/031643.html Jay Kline wrote: > oops... sorry. That wasnt ment to go here.

If it ever gets rough, >> just remember I am here for you. Always. Maybe I'm a nut case, but I like seeing a message like that now and then. It's fun and it humanizes us. But I don't know how the Reply-To feature caused this error -- was his fiancee also on the list? One more: http://archives.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/2003-March/000368.html I can't tell what happened there, unless his earlier messages were about Gnome. I think this one might be a case where the messages were intended for the list, but they had been stuck in a mail queue and were out of date. Anyway, again, I am not worried about the possibility that someone will accidentally send a message to the list that was meant for someone else. Mike
