E-mail on your own box

[Joseph Norton]

Yeah, but, keep it off long enough and it'll get bounced back.  Keep it
off even for 3 or 4 hours and people will start getting those messages
talking about "can't send message for 4 hours" or whatever.  i\It's even
more interesting if you log off of yi.org (setting your ip address to
0.0.0.0).  Then, your name "odysseus.yi.org" goes away completely until
you log back on.  Since your machine is on most of the time, (as you
mentioned) you probably won't notice this.  Even is some messages are
deferred, they will come trickling in once you are back.  Yi.org is
definitely a great service, no question about it.  And, it's
lynx-friendly.
