- This is how the set up appears to be:
-
- mail
- zuma ------ anatolia ------- mn.org
- n |
- e |
- w |
- s uunet
-
- The two paths are different: anatolia PAYS for news via UUNET and
- gets mail at lower cost via a local source.
-
- The sysadmin(?) or mn.org did some posts late last week on the subject:
- he has been trying to have a reasonable conversation with cosar, who
- seems to be denying any wrongdoing. The sysadmin of umn is also working
- on this problem.
-
- I don't know about you, but *I'm* not receiving anymore posts from
- the crazed serdar/mutlu at my site...(at least not in this newsgroup).
