This file may be found on the web at http://www.digest.net/general-notes.txt [last revised 5/1/02; removed list of spam strings, as i'm not the only one filtering on them -- rpw] Additional information on Digest.Net's spam policies may be found at http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html and http://www.digest.net/blocked.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. How do I contact the server adminstrator in an emergency? 9. 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, many phrases found commonly in spam are automatically blocked. 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 spam control severices (again, see http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html) When these services register a hit, the error code 550 is returned. 550 is a generic code that many broken mail systems report as "user unknown". The "rejectlog" entries for the previous day's mail traffic on digest.net may be viewed at http://www.digest.net/rejectlog.01 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.) l) Is SMTP over TLS involved? This is a bit esoteric, but as of 8/8/01 the digest.net mail server will attempt to use "TLS" (Transport Layer Security) for outbound mail if the destination mail server offers it. SMTP over TLS is fairly new technology, and a bit buggy. I am monitoring the logs on the server, and when I see TLS related problems, I manually place the problem destinations on a special exception list; however, this may delay email to the destination host until I make the exception. 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. How do i contact the Server Administrator in an emergency? If my regular email address (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) isn't working for you, you can fall back on rwelty-at-suespammers.org 9. 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 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.

Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 02:50:08 -0800 From: "Mike - G" Subject: fsj: Motor Oil ? So I'm doing my oil change this week, out of curiousity, I'd like to know what you all guys do about your oil changes. How often do you change your oil? Do you change the oil filter too? ==>about every 3500 miles or sooner if dirty, which is often with the AMSOIL air filter, which is way better than K&N but not as good as a NAPA Gold paper. Do you do your own oil/filter changes? ==>yes If you don't change your own oil/filter, where do you go to get it changed? N/A Are you consistant with where you go to get your oil/filter changed? N/A How much is it on average? Do you use a coupon? N/A Are you consistant with what brand/weight of motor oil you use? No, not as much as I'd like, was Chevron for a while, was 15W-40, then Mobil regular, I think Castrol once, Kendall once, now I think Shell Rotella. I like 15W-40 as a grade down here, for the summers anyway. 10W-30 Phillips for the winters is probably the way I should go and stick with it. Are you consistant with what brand of oil filter you use? ==>I like Hastings, WIX/NAPA, AC, in that order, AC is usually least expensive, but I'm proud to use Hastings. That's about it. If you are you consistant, what brand of oil / oil filter do you use? ==>See above. I think that's a 'No'. Full Synthetic? Synthetic Blend? Regular motor oil? High Mileage? 4X4/SUV? ==>There's some blow-by/consumption, need to do a compression check. I don't rev it much. Would be interested in what 'High' Mileage would do to reduce blow-by. What year(s)/type of engine(s) are you using them on? Jeep 360 V8, 54K on tired rebuild. On a side note, someone told me somthing about if you go to a full synthetic, that you shouldn't go back to regular oil, somthing to do with some seal or somthing. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember what he said. And I don't know that he knew what he was talking about either. Anyone confirm that? ==>My understanding is that Dino oil will generally seal better than synthetics, going to synthetic with an old engine can lead to leaks. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2003 11:48:23 -0700 From: Tesar Landon-r16884 Subject: fsj: Thanksgiving and more oil. "Some how my wife convinces me that waiting is a good thing, (later she mentions that she had been amusing the folks in line with the reason why she wasn't baking her own pie... (which btw, are a lot better then any bakery or Costco's)... and someone in line commented that it sounded like she was married to "Tim the Toolman Taylor"... : )" ============== somehow, a comment like this from someone standing in line to buy a pie doesn't surprise me. no appreciation for people who at least attempt and very often succeed at being self sufficient. Not only a lack of appreciation, but even a component of being defensive to people who know enough to meet life head on. John, you should take pride in your many varied talents, and borderline stubborn persistence in applying them, as well as your willingness to gamble for the sake of learning, and generosity. =============== NEXT TOPIC! Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 22:05:56 -0600 From: "Vince Orr" Subject: fsj: Re: Motor Oil ? What does everyone do with their waste oil? ==>Take it to the Auto Parts store to recycle when buying the next batch! - - Landon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2003 13:17:32 -0800 (PST) From: Greg Loxtercamp Subject: fsj: fsj calenders??? Hey, anyone know of any FSJ calenders for the 2004 year? I just flipped my 2003 to the big green WT and realized that I'm on my last month.
