Ahhh. But I do. The problem is that my hostname "micron.efn.org" doesn't exist, even though my headers all refer to "j_mini@efn.org" (which is my real email address). This one's been beaten to death already, so I won't repeat what I said before. Read the other message, or delete this one as well. I'm sure probably 90% of us don't really care anymore. > My host doesn't care whether he uses a dynamic IP address.
