At this point its all moot, I've manage to find and install the newer 
sendmail on both machines.  And trying to carry on a meaningfull 
conversation about a problem if to be frank, is fscking nuts when the 
lag is approaching 36 hrs to get a message, its reply, and this reply 
back into the mailboxes of everyone concerned.

Don't take me wrong, I have appreciated attempts to help, but the 
mailserver lags have rendered its usefullness to somewhere in the range 
of that of tits on a boar hog since FC5 was released.

If its shareing a pipeline with the FC5 downloads, that's just more 
evidence that there should be more people using torrents AND leaving it 
seeding when they are done.  I'm seeding both the cd and the dvd right 
now, so I don't feel like I'm contributing to the problem.  FWIW, 
azureus says I'm the ONLY ONE seeding the dvd right now, and the ratio 
is now well above 1.1, so I AM doing my part.  And I note that the seed 
count for the cd's where the ratio is now at 1.2 something is bouncing 
between 0 and 1.  If I'm the only one seeding then of course all you 
are going to hear is bitches about the poor BT bandwidth.

What the hecks the matter with you folks?  Take Take Take, but never 
give back in kind. I just raised the speed limit to about 90% of my 
bandwidth, but thats still not enough to feed other hungry torrents.
So if you have it, give it back.  Fire up that client and share!

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
