OK.

Where I used cp was to clean out the .userid.pop file, by placing the
contents of the null device (0=zero) in the file. It works over here.

The reason the two redirects were use, was because it would append the file
and not clobber the file. This was necessary, because in the meantime it
would of been still possible to have received mail in the inbox. So this
would have joined (appened) the two files together. So no mail was lost.

Ownership of your files in the mail box are yours and yours alone if set up
correctly. None of what I wrote gets around that. I can understand if other
ISPs don't like that, but still, you own thoughs files with your userid on
there. 

: Please let us stop this nonsense!

I have no problem with that, the original poster has his mail back and
that, after all, is what matters.

C-ya,

Michael ([email-masked])

Dear Michael,

here's something from the netiquette for you:

       -    It is considered extremely rude to forward personal email to
            mailing lists or Usenet without the original author's
            permission.

But that's ok, I don't care, anyhow, but:

        -    Keep your questions and comments relevant to the focus of
	     the discussion group.

So, shut up, please, will you? Your way of handling this was *unclean* and
partly *wrong*. If if worked -- fine. But there's no reason to keep telling
the entire world how to abuse a u*ix system, not to mention the syntactical
errors.

Hmm, yeah, sure...

You first say "let us stop this nonsense"! Which I say "I have no problem
with that".  And you say the above? I thought it was stopped. 

You just don't want to give this up do you. I tried to, I even agreed with
you so you would stop wasting bandwidth by posting and E-Mailing me. But
that wasn't good enough for you apparently. 

So now you have been added to my filters. Any message(s) sent will
automatically be sent to the null device. That's right the same null device
that you claim can't be copied from.
