well,
I think that may have been in error.
the e-mail service I have here (uswestmail.net) only allows 3 megs of disk space and will start bouncing mail after that point. the one message that had the 2 large attachments tagged to it filled my box completely that I was only able to get 2 other e-mails at the time. the other 80 odd articles all bounced (causing me to be unsubscribed from both a security focus list and secure linux).

I have also had to answer e-mails from people wondwering why they couldn't send to me (and a few of these were for tech support issues). 

I know uswestmail is probably not the best for this type of traffic, but unless I can convince cox@home to unblock ports 25, etc, I am stuck.
