I don't like having to telnet in from my other boxes at home when this problem occurs; if there's a fix that I could run, a pointer to it would be greatly appreciated. Please cc' my email address on your answer, so procmail doesn't throw it to aa file that I end up reading only next month. :) --Alexei
