And it is coming through Usenet via Astraweb and Zen just fine as well.

Which app are you using? If you are using a IIgs, I hope being an Apple
II forum, that it is SNAP...

You will also find on my server, an FTP client, a POP3 mail client, a
full featured communications application, and loads of other useful
tools...

I think it changed my email address, basically obfuscating it to the point
of irrecoverability. Replying through Eternal September to see what happens
here...

September.

....and it looks like the same obfuscation is going on here. There must be a
trn setting I missed when I moved back to Linode a while back.
