Knew that one :-)

Hmmmm... We use procmail for our delivery agent. I suppose it wouldn't be
unreasonable to have user's put something in their .procmailrc file that
fires off a zpopnotify every time it delivers mail. ...or delivers
"interesting" mail.
It looks like it ought to work, but I have noticed one problem already.
Our mail server has 3 network interfaces. Only one out of 3 messages gets
delivered. The zephyr server gets the following message:
zephyrd[16486]: sendit unauthentic fake packet: claimed 204.134.12.100,\
real 192.160.121.100
zephyrd[16486]: sendit unauthentic fake packet: claimed 192.160.121.161,\
real 192.160.121.100
I understand what the problem is here. Has anyone bothered to fix it?
..the problem exists all through the code, I wanted to run our zephyr
server on said machine, but couldn't because of the same problems.
If I fix it, is there any place to send the patches? Is this code still
being maintained? Is there anyone on this list besides Jonathon and I?
Does anyone care? :-)
