    I would like to thank those of you who responded to my earlier plea for =
    assistance. <G>.  However, I'd like to pick your brains a little more, =
    if you don't mind (and God I hope this doesn't waste bandwidth) <G>...

    (1)  Got the Net-Mail up and working - haven't applied the fix yet for =
    the #503 whachamacallit but it's forwarding and sending and that's all I =
    care about - however...  I sent a request for a player and specified one =
    of my alternate E-Mail addresses.  The header I received was quite =
    strange.  Instead of saying, "From: <space@nebula.ispace.com>" (which =
    did appear in the "Reply-to:" field) the header said:
    	Date: Mon Dec 11 22:48:41 1995 GMT-0300
    	From: 2@YourMOO.moo.mud.org
    	Reply to: space@nebula.ispace.com
    	To: gme@quasar.ispace.com
    	Subject: Your YourMOO character, test
    =09
    	>From Wizard@YourMOO:
    I've gone through the $network and $mail variables and set everything up =
    - am I missing something else?

    (2)  Allright - this may sound like a really stupid question - but to =
    someone who's fairly familiar with Unix - but unfortunately not so with =
    MOO's, I was a bit surprised after going through the object numbers and =
    finding a player called "Hacker" ?!  Needless to say it's password has =
    since been changed to something so unintelligable - hell, I even forgot =
    what I set it to - BUT - what is this "player" used for anyway?  It sure =
    owns a lot of verbs....  I know, stupid question...

    (3)  The housekeeper... is this a process that is constantly running =
    while the MOO is in operation?  I remember reading that it will pick up =
    "litter", etc. as well.  ????

    (4)  Object Numbers:  After recycling an object, will it's numbers ever =
    be re-used automatically or is there something specific the Wizard must =
    do?  Also, I've recycled several objects created by Wizard (including a =
    few toaded test characters) however, when I @audit wizard, they appear =
    still in the database but with <invalid-object> as their description.  =
    Should I worry?

    (5)  And last but not least - does anyone know of a way for =
    automatically "cleaning up" the database while the MOO is in operation =
    or am I subject to the database growing in sizes so large that it uses =
    up all my system resources (special thanks to "def" for kinda helping me =
    out on this issue the other night - but how can I, as a Wizard, ensure =
    that once we go live the players will purge their mail (and how can I =
    check?) or is this something the housekeeper will do automatically?)

    Sorry for the trouble... thanks in advance!
