silmaril's mail server is rejecting
messages[1]. And somebody who has both blueeowyn's
address and mine on their computer has a virus that keeps
sending me copies of itself forged to be from her address.[2]
I'm accustomed to rapidly filtering obvious worms by glancing
at sender, subject, and size, but I have a mental "whitelist"
that helps me notice legitimate mail from friends -- so seeing
her address on the bogus mail slows me down a step.
[1] The error I'm getting is:
... while talking to XXXXXXXXXXXThe host in question is not the one in her email address, so I'm assuming there's an MX redirect involved -- the machine name "po2" does suggest that it's a dedicated mail server.
>>> MAIL From:<dglenn@saltmine.radix.net>
<<< 550 5.0.0 Sorry,no access allowed
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
[2] I could be misremembering, but I think she uses a Mac, so the odds of Windows-based worms actually coming from her machine are low, and most modern worms forge the "From" header anyhow. And anyone who has been to both of the 3LF web sites would have both our addresses in their web cache.

*sigh*
And yes, I use a Mac, but more importantly, I don't have an executable mail reader to either of the Unix accounts.a
