This file may be found on the web at http://www.digest.net/general-notes.txt [last revised 8/30/00; Demime added, new HTML rules as a result, new spammer block list on web to replace Special Note] Special Note The list of alleged spammers which previously appeared here has been replaced by the new URL http://www.digest.net/blocked.html Additional information on Digest.Net's spam policies may be found at http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html Table of Contents 1. Why don't my postings go through? 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? 3. How do I post to the list? 4. Where are the archives? 5. What other lists are on digest.net? 6. Is there a web subscription form? 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? 8. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? The Meta-FAQ 1. Why don't my postings go through? There are several things that may interfere with postings making it to the list. a) Are you a member? Some read the ftp archives rather than receiving the list in email. Persons who read the list via email are automatically members, but readers of the FTP archive are not, and need to contact me (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) and get your name added to the list of "permitted senders". b) has your email address changed? some of you have had changes in your email address. your old address still works, and is still on the list, but your From: line shows a new address. this can happen for various reasons; you may have changed jobs or ISPs, and left a forward in place, or your IT staff may have fiddled with the email system. you will need to unsubscribe your old email address and subscribe the new one. this may require my involvement, if you can't figure out a way to get your old address off the list using the conventional majordomo commands. you can use the majordomo "which" command to probe for old addresses. send a message to majordomo-at-digest.net with one or more which commands in the body, one per line. to check for potential addresses for Fred Flinstone, formerly of bedrock.org, the following commands can be sent: which flintstone which bedrock note that the matches above might return any of the following addresses, if they appear in the list (in other words, you can use vagueness and incompleteness in your recollection as a tool): Fred.Flinstone-at-bedrock.org fflinstone-at-wilma.bedrock.org flintstonef-at-bedrock.com c) do you have more than one email address? if so, only the subscribed addresses can post, unless you contact me (see 1.a) above for relevant information) d) are you using (intentionally or accidentially) special "features" of your mail client? [this section is no longer operative, as the demime software now strips html, attachments, rich text format, etc. from postings automatically.] e) are your posts too large? there is a 10,000 character limit on posting sizes; this is done for various reasons. you can always split up large postings to get mail through. f) are you including majordomo commands at the start of your message? administrivia control is turned on; this is a trap for things like "unsubscribe" at the start of a message. try to avoid obvious majordomo commands in the subject and the first 10 lines, or misspell them in obvious ways (e.g. unzubscribe, 1ndex, h3lp, g3t, etc.) g) are you triggering spam traps? some things are red flags; for example, the following phrases in subject lines are automatically blocked: Important Message From growth stocks free calling card direct e-mail secrets Merchant Account Mass Marketing make money fast Pediatric advice Email ? Million People what "they" don't want are you being investigated the actual list is quite a bit longer; i think you get the idea. h) are you using "funky" character sets? [7 bit restriction lifted experimentally on 8/2/00 -- film at 11] unfortunately, there are "issues" if i permit any character set other than old fashioned 7 level ASCII; therefore, you need to avoid national character sets that include various accents, umlauts, national currency characters such as the British pound symbol, etc. i) are you unintentionally including complete digests in your reply? You need to check and make sure you cut down replys to the minimal size; digests are between 20,000 and 25,000 characters in length, and if you include a complete digest in your reply, it clearly won't make the 10,000 character limit. By the way, this feature is intentional. j) Are you using a "bad" ISP or mail relay? See http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html for more information about Digest.Net policies about email. k) Is the error message you get back "User Unknown"? If so, you may be running afoul of MAPS (see j above). MAPS returns an error code of 550, which is a generic code that many broken mail systems report as "user unknown". If you know the IP address of your ISPs mail relay, you can go to the maps web site and test to see if it is on the RBL or the RSS. Additionally, the "rejectlog" entries for the previous day's mail traffic on digest.net are now visible at http://www.digest.net/rejectlog.01 Finally, some of you may find it useful or instructive to use the telnet program to connect directly to port 25 on krusty-motorsports.com and see what kind of reply you get; this requires some technical knowledge and is not for everyone (you can get out of this at anytime after the initial banner simply by typing quit and hitting enter.) 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? a) are you using the right address? send to majordomo-at-digest.net, and the command format is unsubscribe list-name my-email-address b) has your email address changed? majordomo has no way of knowing that Fred.Flinstone-at-BarneyCo.com was once fflintstone-at-bedrock.org. you can check this with the which command (see 1.b) above for details) 3. How do I post to the list? You may use either one of two addresses: for example, the bmw-digest may be reached using either bmw-at-digest.net or bmw-digest-at-digest.net If you are using the correct addresses and your posts don't show up, check out the stuff in 1. above. 4. Where are the archives? see ftp://ftp.digest.net/ for digest archives. the web archives have proven problematic, and are awaiting time for a systematic attack on the problems they've been having. 5. What other lists are on digest.net? see http://www.digest.net/ for more information. 6. Is there a web subscription form? Yes, recently added. go to http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? The Krusty Motorsports server (aka, digest.net) was explicitly to provide for efficient management of the various automotive mailing lists, done the way that the owner of the server wanted it done. Any migration off of the server (which is already bought, paid for, and configured) would create any number of issues. 8. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? Krusty Motorsports (http:/www.krusty-motorsports.com/) is a business which is owned and operated by Richard Welty (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com). Krusty is, as of this writing, changing from a DBA in Rensselaer County, New York, to an S-Corporation in the State of New York. Krusty provides a number of Internet related services, such as mailing list, web sites, pop3/telnet accounts, and consulting on internet related issues. For more information, see the web site for Krusty. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 10:58:58 -0800 (PST) From: "Paul W." Subject: xj: Mopar V8 in your XJ???

He was kind enough to drive my new 80 Cherokee from Spokane for me and in exchange I'm trying to help him find a new home for his 79 WT Chero with a 401. He needs the money to get his car out of the shop and to pay for school expenses... ...at this point we don't know what to value it at, best offer is a starting point. The motor sounds sweet... overall in good condition, flexs nicely. He'll email me all the details later, not sure if he has access to his account away from school... I must have a slow connection this afternoon or went way overboard on the pictures... I'm still uploading pictures to my server!!! :) The white cherokee in the picture is my new FSJ! :) Here's the meister fleet as of today (excluding the 300SD and the buick and the fairlane of course... ;) http://www.wagoneers.com/FSJ/Johns-Jeeps-Feb15-2001/ the 80 chero is at: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/johns-80-Cherokee :) john - ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 20:36:21 -0800 From: john Subject: xj: it's snowin' in snohomish! ...and you know why? Because I was going to drop the insurance on the J10 again. ;) but I'm ready, the fleet now contains 1 xj, and 3 FSJ's: http://www.wagoneers.com/FSJ/Johns-Jeeps-Feb15-2001/ the "new" 80 chero is at: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/johns-80-Cherokee ...after Sunday I'll be driving the 300SD until it sells. That'll give me time to go through the '80 Cherokee. Since SuperDawg's motor is shot I'm going to use some of the new engine parts on my '80 Cherokee, putting the useable but worn parts on the '83 J10. The plan is to keep the J10 driveable. The interested buyer is going to swap in a V8, so as long as it's able to drive onto the boat and to his house in Belgium that's all he's worried about. :) And if he should change his mind, SuperDawg will still be a useful part of my fleet until I can do the xj motor conversion. :) Or maybe a 3.0L Mercedes Turbo Diesel mated to that 5 speed... :) Since I won't need to hurry the project that might be the best idea yet. If it doesn't sell, it'll become the DieselDawg. This whole thing with the Cherokee is pretty crazy. We went over to Eastern Washington Saturday looking for an M715 for Mark, came home and found an email from a friend in Tri-Cities about an ad for a 6 cylinder Cherokee... he was kidding about it, but I called on it and bought it sight unseen. And then, out of the blue a college student from WSU in Pullman emailed about selling his Cherokee and then offered to drive my Cherokee from Spokane to here so he could get home to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day! (about 320 miles!). So I took pictures of his Cherokee today and am trying to help him sell it on my server, it's got the 401 V8! http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/79-WT-Cherokee (turns out he was in classes with my daughter, and his sister is in classes with my son... small world... ;) Anyway, I got the parts for my '83 300SD today to fix the accelerator pedal and the heating system (mono-valve), along with new fuel filters. It's running great again. Feels great. Should have it all fixed up by this weekend, the snow is only here for a couple days... :( IF you know of anyone interested in that '79 WT Cherokee with the 401 email Ian Conley . If you know of anyone interested in a nice '83 300SD, email me. ;) http://wagoneers.com/300SD I've got a driveway full of dirty vehicles... guess I'll wait until the rest of the country is in the grips of the artic blast we're getting right now and then wash 'em... It's my favorite sport to let my folks down in Florida know I'm washing my cars when they're in the middle of a deep freeze... rofl... later, john - ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 01:08:29 -0500 From: Brennan Shepard Subject: xj: KeyFob and Cupholder My mom just got a 95 and I need to find a keyfob and a cupholder that bolts over the ebrake.
