Please don't reply to this message on the list, as for some reason I won't receive it. I have just switched my server computer where my mail is hosted and where all my other servers are running from Slackware to Red Hat 9. I love Red Hat, but I am having a couple of problems. Firstly, I can send mail from my local mailbox, but I can't receive mail. I have sent message after message from a mailbox that is hosted remotely in an attempt to test whether or not I am receiving mail, and every one of them have gotten lost somewhere in cyberspace. Also, I get the message every now and then that says "spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7." and the message seems to display at times when I probably should have received an email message. Also, when I try to test to be sure I don't have an open relay by telnetting to relay-test.mail-abuse.org, I get a connection error that says /proj/maps/bin/in.relaytest: socket failed [Bad file descriptor] I don't know if all of these things are related, but as you can see, it looks like a very serious problem. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please respond to this email offlist at prince77@xxxxxxxxxxxxx as I am able to receive mail at that address with no problems. Thanks for the help Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
