[Coco] [Color Computer] Messed up, sorta

Hi everybody;

I rx'd a bunch of spam, stocks and viagra type, and the only thing common was 
the X-Originating-IP: line in the headers, so I slammed that puppy into 
my .procmailrc with instructions to send anything from that address 
to /dev/null, sight unseen.

Unforch, that was the IP address of one or all, of the yahoo mailing list 
servers.  So for the last 20 hours or so, anything from yahoo was dropped on 
the floor somewhere near that famous bit bucket, which included the thread 
about a floppy disk.

So if anyone sent me something via yahoo, please resend it.

However, if yahoo doesn't fix the infected machine, it WILL get re-added to 
the black hole of procmail.  I really do have better things to do than to 
sort and delete several hundred of those spams a day.

Cheers, Gene
