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.

I need to head back out to the shop to tighten bolts on the CJ-10A bed, reinstall the lights and get it out of the shop so mark can pull the 460 out of the '74 Javelin and prep it for the '67 J100 Panel. A friend of mine came over with one of his friends... we started looking at the CJ-10A bed, talking about how much weight I could reduce by cutting this and that section off... and my buddy (6'4") just went over to it and lifted up the corner and said it weighed about 400 or 500 lbs... so rather than cut it up the four of us lifted it back onto the frame... :) We figure the ballast, front and rear bumpers removed at least 1,600 lbs. Rough guess is it weighs 4,400 lbs now. I think the 3.3L might work better now... my buddy looked at the exhaust manifold and said it was quite restrictive, could see another 10 hp if it flowed better... (he's a mechanical engineer) Well, now, I need to crawl under the K1500 and test the lift pump and replace it if bad... need to get it running to tow the '80 J10 next weekend... The plan for the '80 J10 is going centralia in order to get my '83 J10 stepside running... will use the 3.54 axles (correct drop, etc.) and the 4.2 to get my '83 J10 running. My friend will keep the '80 J10, he's got enough pieces laying around to reassemble it. If the CJ-10A moves around ok without the ballast I may swap the 4.2L with the T-18/np208 into it and use the 3.3L in my '83 J10. we'll see... not likely to happen, but who knows... 4,400lbs is closer to the weight of the J10. Need to get a starter solenoid for the 3.3L Diesel from NAPA then take it into town for emissions... Guess I'll drive my Mercedes 300D tomorrow, should make it out of the drive... john -o|||||o- 1994 Chevrolet Blazer (K1500) 6.5L Turbo Diesel/AT - for sale 1986 CJ-10A 3.3L Diesel/AT - for sale 1980 Jeep J10 Shortbox (SJ) 4.2/T-18/NP208 - GOING TO CENTRALIA 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) 4.7L V8/45RFE/NV247 1991 Mercedes 300D (124) 2.5L Turbo Diesel/AT (Shadowfax) 1983 Jeep J10 Stepside (SJ) 4.2/T-5/NP208 (Superdawg) 1975 Jeep J10 long bed (SJ) hydraulic dump trailer - might be for sale...

(really) still need to replace the starter solenoid and fix the headlight switch, then get it emissions tested... Looking forward to driving it with the "missing" 1,600 lbs... bumpers and ballast are here. :) My son wants the front bumper for the Panel. Will probably run it in on Saturday. The cj-10a is looking good... took some night shots with my Nikon D200: http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2009/01-Jan-01-vehicles-at-night-NewYearsDay/ALL.html Tomorrow my son plans to roll his '74 Javelin with the Ford 460 into the carport and pull it out... will mate it to a C6 with an NP205, then sell the Javelin body... rust free... from Arizona where he rescued it from the junkyard... Then we'll pull the 232/t85/dana 20 out of the '67 J100 Panel and drop the 460 into it... we'll need a driver's side drop axle... probably will need a complete set from a newer GW. My '80 J10 is heading down to Centralia where it will donate it's internal organs, axles and 4.2L engine, to my '83 J10 Stepside... not sure how soon before it comes back though... the '83 has been down there since 2001... ;) but at least it'll be two less vehicles here... Hopefully my son will have the javelin out of the carport when I get home tomorrow, need to do some TLC on the '99 WJ and the '91 300D... as well as fix the lift pump on the '94 K1500. going to work tomorrow... need the rest. ;) Happy New Year... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://johnmeister.com/fotomeister - Trust Jesus: http://freegift.com SAVE power, avoid viruses, use LINUX: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf SAVE fuel, use synthetics: http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2009 10:47:00 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: fsj: Re: [FSJ OWNERS CLUB] Other groups to try. Lindel, :) http://www.ifsja.org/charter.html - there I am... I haven't checked in for a while... once doc and the guy that owned orc blocked my access to the original fsj list I started I set one up on digest.net and have been there ever since.
