Well, I was following orders from Thomas. And I am getting some email.
If raneb cannot be relied on, maybe it is better to revert to your machine. The problem there is resolved, isn't it?

Christian,
It is not clear to me that mail to repec@repec.org is going anywhere. I tried sending messages from two of my accounts at 2301 and 2304 and neither of them has shown up. I sent mail at 2306 to repec@mail.repec.org and it came through in a minute. So I'm not sure that reverting to the 'official' address is a good idea if it corresponds to /dev/null.

Yep, we are getting again totally overloaded by mail to badname@repec.org It did not help that I overzealously teergrubed. But I think the root problem is overload through bad addresses.

Go ahead if you like... If has has updated postfix, maybe it can withhold the load. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel phone: +7 383 330 6813 skype: thomaskrichel
There has been no change to config on that machine, so it is not going to be any happier to deal with that kind of dreck than your machine is.
