i no longer fear technology.
monday, because of problems with our local mail server,
i forwarded my mail to my account on the main emory
system. i left out that "\" in the forward file which
means keep a local copy; so the first message coming in
got forwarded and RESENT to the local account.
jim got a call monday night from Emory HQ that our network
was being shutdown because ONE of our messages (the first one
I got after my stupid mistake, which happened to be from
loret) had filled up the ENTIRE university mail system, including
a 2GB SMTP server.
i brought the whole domain to its knees.
i no longer fear technology.
