On Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 17:49 , the murky waters churned and seethed,
the dark weeds parted and the water took on the sinister,
shifting visage we recognize as Jeff at NorrisTechs.  The great maw opened,
and the following was heard:

See if the sysctl settings may help.

I tried to send you email on this, but your system is misconfigured
as it shows it loops back to itself.  If you are running sendmail
check to make sure your name is in the local-host-names.

I don't know if you are going to see this unless you get mail
from the list at another address
