1 According to my Sent folder in evolution, I sent my
2 last message to gentoo-user on Sunday, February 12.
3 In that message I asked a question about procmail. I
4 also added as a postscript that I hadn't gotten
5 anything from gentoo-user in a couple of days. On
6 Monday (when I still hadn't gotten anything from
7 gentoo-user) I sent an email from msulli1355@×××××.com
8 (this account) to gentoo-user+owner@g.o about
9 this problem. This problem of not getting the
10 messages at my domain has happened three or four times
11 before, usually because of a disruption of the cable
12 Internet (which I no longer have to mess with now that
13 I have DSL.) The gentoo-user+owner usually gets back
14 to me in a couple of days or so, but it's been almost
15 a week now and I haven't heard back from anyone. I
16 read in the archives (once I realized that I wasn't
17 getting gentoo-user; that the list was not simply
18 down) that the reason I wasn't getting gentoo-user
19 might be a procmail problem. procmail has been
20 unmerged and all reference to it has been removed from
21 sendmail.cf (by way of altering sendmail.mc and m4'ing
22 it to sendmail.cf and restarting the server).
23 gentoo-user is the only mailing list I'm subscribed to
24 and not getting, and as I've said, the owner has not
25 contacted me at this address. Has anyone seen her, or
26 anyone who might be covering her responsibilities
27 while she is out? She usually asks me for a
28 traceroute from my server to lists.gentoo.org; here it
29 is for you all:

76 I've had a rough time the past couple of weeks. I'm
77 subscribed to The_Linux_Corner@×××××××××××.com and
78 there was a whole string of offensive messages
79 claiming to come from me sent to that list. I was
80 afraid that someone had cracked my system (even though
81 the log files showed no evidence of it.) Working
82 together with someone at The_Linux_Corner I was able
83 to see that the messages weren't coming from
84 espersunited.com at all, but instead from an IP
85 address in India (We had to look at the
86 X-OriginatingIP header to realize this.) The guy I
87 was working with said that it was probably a
88 virus-infected Windows computer and that someone with
89 an account on that computer had my email address in
90 their address book. I've been getting Undeliverable
91 Mail messages from everyone and they're dog (Oklahoma
92 phrase) even though those messages weren't actually
93 coming from my account. I can't do anything about
94 someone else's computer - especially someone I don't
95 even know. I just hope that virus claiming to be me
96 is not why the gentoo-user+owner hasn't contacted me.
97 Can anyone help me get my michael@××××××××××××.com
98 subscription back? I sent an email from
99 michael@××××××××××××.com to
100 gentoo-user+subscribe@g.o about fifteen minutes
101 before I started typing this message, and I haven't
102 gotten a Confirmation Request or anything else from
103 gentoo.org yet...
