There must be some correlation between my weekend trips and other events. Last time I went out of town was "Cliper weekend" :-) I've tested the remailers with unencrypted requests, and have received these replies (within seconds, I might add): soda.berkeley.edu cicada.berkeley.edu pmantis.berkeley.edu bsu-cs.bsu.edu alumni.caltech.edu rosebud.ee.uh.edu mead.u.washington.edu shell.portal.com tamsun.tamu.edu tamaix.tamu.edu <-- note, 'Return-Path: remail@tamaix.tamu.edu' 'From: remail@tamsun.tamu.edu' just in case you see the from line and think tamaix isn't working So I'll wait for the others (rebma, extropia, utter, uclink, jarthur) and then try them all with encrypted requests. A while ago I had a script test all the remailers once a week - I wasn't able to have a cron entry, but I used the 'at' command to schedule the mailing of prepared messages and itself every week. Maybe I'll start that up again since it would help isolate problems if a remailer doesn't respond, especially if twice in a row. /-----------------------------------\ | Karl L.
