    You know.. back in the day of calling LD everynight to all boards all over
the world a sysop simply *knew* that his mail was getting sent properly and was
actually being received at the destination he wanted it to go.  Now with the
internet it's all become quite cheaper but it's also gotten a LOT less
reliable.  It seems that at least once a month Myles email for transx at
crosswinds.net goes "user not found" or "can not deliver mail for 48 hours" or
my favourite "crosswinds.net not found"  PLus I've also gotten "Mail box full"
and "can't find m/var/users/vye" .. back in teh good ol' days it was just a
matter of calling and if the other sysop had enough hard drive space because
somehow those 80 meg drives sure filled up quickly! :)
