I have just found that my mail has been taking a pretty strage root, and
it has got lost in the wastelands of VMS some where. 
Normaly it goes, 
majordom
triumph.cs
ukaea.org.uk
h-proxy.ukaea.org.uk 
VMS cluster que
VMS mail account. 
fuspcjcc

The last couple of days it has been doing this
majordom
triumph.cs
ukaea.org.uk
h-proxy.ukaea.org.uk 
VMS cluster que
VMS mail account but thats full, so 
VOID

The reason, I use fetchmail to get my mail every 5 minuets from the VMS,
this specefies no keep, and so deletes all mail once recieved.  Only
thing is, the VMS descides not to delete them until you do a purge,
because of this my account grows, and does not tell me when it gets onto
a quota overdraft, I go overdrawn, and the VMS throws away the new
mails, why can't it delete the old ones?

That is probebly why I have been quite over the last couple of days.

What else has happened???
