Sorry to bother the list with an off-topic post, BUT....

While I can SEND email just fine, I cannot RECEIVE any email at the moment.

I send email through Verizon (my ISP) and that works fine.

All my INCOMING email however is being forwarded to Ivan Warren's
"db01.ivansoftware.com" server which I can't seem to log into at the moment.
(Keeps telling me my userid is invalid)

To make matters worse, I *thought* I had Ivan Warren's telephone number but
I just checked and it appears I don't. I *serious* oversite on my part and
one I apologize for. As soon as I get hold of him I'll rectify that
immediately.

For now however, I'll just have to wait for him to call me. (I sent him an
email asking him to call me but he hasn't yet.)

If any of you can know his phone number PLEASE CALL HIM and tell him to
please call ME *immediately*. Day or night. It doesn't matter. I keep weird
hours anyway, so if it's the middle of the night or whenever, it doesn't
matter: CALL ME!

Thanks.

(and sorry for all this off topic shit lately)

FYI: Problem resolved.

For whatever reason PGP apparently decided to forget where its
"randseed.rnd" file was located and as a result was unable to establish a
secure connection to Ivan's system. The clue was a rather cryptic error
message in its log file:

EE 00:07:10 Couldn't establish TLS session with db01.ivansoftware.com:
insufficient random bits (-11320)

Googling for that pointed me to the "randseed.rnd" file as being the
culprit.

Might have something to do with me being in the habit of hibernating and
then resuming my system each day (instead of a complete shutdown and reboot
which takes much longer). <shrug>

I'm only bothering to bother the group with this crap in case someone from
the group was trying to get hold of me.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast already in progress
(i.e. HERCULES).  :)
