I spent about 4 weeks searching for ways to solve the problemto make a long story short, it was only after I used a neighbors swimming pool was I able to locate the leaks, as minute as they were. I put about 30 inches of H2O press. then the pool. I located 5 rivets along the skin-back flange leaking...drilled out...more goop, reriveted then it held 27 " for more than 24 hours...I wish you luck in your endeavors.

The installation will involve some changes in the Matronics DNS MX records, and will impact how incoming email is handled. While I expect these changes to be transparent to all of the List subscribers, things might go differently... ;-) The Lists get bombarded with tons of SPAM messages and viruses each day and fortunately my custom filters have been extremely effective at filtering most of this from redistribution. Its time to move to the next level of technology, however, and this SPAM and Virus filtering appliance seems like an excellent solution. I will post a follow up message later in the week when things have stabilized and I have some filter statistics to share. Best regards, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Admin. -- Matt G.
