Till K. on this list wrote a cute little script that I'm in love with, 
called 'beh'.  I haven't had a printer shutdown in cups since I put it 
in maybe 10 days ago.  Backup a few days in the lists archive & search 
for beh, it should fall out.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
