???
usually, messages from murphy go straight:
Received: from murphy.debian.org (murphy.debian.org [216.234.231.6])
by diamond.madduck.net (postfix) with SMTP id 636DDC for
<mass@madduck.net>; Thu, 8 Mar 2001 22:31:19 -0500 (EST)
and arrive in a timely manner.
okay, i am sure that some form of temporary mail relay chain could
have been put in place for whatever reason, but please, someone give
me a clue why this chain has to involve two micro$oft servers which
take 46 hours total to get the message to me?
does debian have a regular mailbox? because i'd much rather send my
replies USPS -- which would be faster than micros~1 SMTPSVC (ugh!).
the worst - i think i even received this message at one point. what's
going on???
