I always wished they hadn't made that dorky name change. I liked `reader@superzippo.com' better but The Zippo company of cigarette lighter fame sued them and they had to change there name. Back then you could telnet right into the pop server, login, stomp around in there, run a shell, edit/read or whatever /var/spool/mail/USER I remember getting a message from some automated cron job on their pop server for weeks after I had a vi session crash and leave a *.swp file in there. That was early 97 or so. My trouble turned out to be a little different. Not a reverse MX lookup. That was in place The bank of phones that my dialup at home uses goes to a machine that talks to my ISP some 130 miles away it does something (unknown) unusual and the smtp server won't talk to it. Same reason the smtp server on newsguy wouldn't talk to it. (I think) .... They are supposed to be fixing that.
