For Your Delectation And Amusement

[kingandy]

I have just presented this to the Bahadhu mailing list (in response to a query about the sequence of events), and I'm quite entertained by it.  So I thought I'd repost it here.  Is to enjoy.

EDITED TO ADD: For clarification - the question was "Why was the Hitoshi not allowed to commit seppuku?" Also, does not actually have anything to do with Reboot.


1. EXT - KITCHEN TENT

KANJIRO: Kneel so I can kill you!

HITOSHI: I demand that the Daimyo come here and execute me himself.

PLEASANT AUTUMN WIND: *rushes off*

HITOSHI: - Or allows me to commit seppuku.

KANJIRO: Very well.  Please to wait in the shrine.


2. INT - ANAGUMA MEETING TENT

PLEASANT AUTUMN WIND enters.

PLEASANT AUTUMN WIND: Tanaka-dono! Hitoshi-san demand execution by your hand!

TANAKA: Does he, eh?  Does he really?  I'll show HIM execution so I will. Give me your pointies.

POINTY-BEARER: *gives*

TANAKA: *charges*


3. INT - ANAGUME SHRINE

HITOSHI: Nice in here, innit?

KANJIRO: Sho nuff.  Want a pointy?

HITOSHI: Yeah, seppuku is easier with a pointy.  Give me a pointy.

TANAKA: *enters* *gives pointy* *continues giving pointy*

HITOSHI: *dies*

KANJIRO: Oh, very funny.

Yesterday and today. Bog standard delivery failure response. I've deleted the mail - I'll try again so I can forward you the exact text.

Please, with full headers if you could.

So, when I tried proper messages (yesterday and this morning), it failed. When I write "test" it works perfectly. Will forward you the info if it happens again, but for now it all seems to be working.

Personally I blame Microsoft, after most people assume its their fault ;-)

If it matters - between Katy telling me of bounces and my own tests I did open the aliases file in CUTEFTP. Didn't edit or save it at all, just requested it for viewing purposes. I don't think that would have affected things but I'm no expert.

It could of been that the secondry MX for andydrawings.co.uk wasn't actually set to handle its mail so may of been bouncing mail. Normally this matters not as all mail should go to the primary MX. However the rsync prcoess may of eaten enough bandwidth that things gave up and went to the secondry MX - in fact looking at the logs I can see Katie's rejected mail and one from a "gloam".

Do you want the emails of all the reject's sent to you?

Who actually maintains the DNS records for andydrawings? Is it you?

Dropping an email to web-users@bennee.com helps of course as I generally don't run support requests via LJ ;-)

Re: Your email

DNS record is hosted by my mate John.

Will try and remember that email address, but suspect I will fail... don't worry, I would have mailed you eventualy, I do not yet rely on LJ as a communication medium. :)

Ah, I suspect he just cloned the bennee.com MX records assuming I would of updated smtp2.bennee.com to relay your mail as well. As I've noted on my latest posting this will need fixing at some point as the secondry MX will soon die.
