Where can we backup stuff? In my home dir there are several gigs of
stuff from lists.cat.org.au.

That is just due to the header line.

Those are probably just due to my shitty ADSL modem, which keeps
rebooting itself. I keep ssh connections to the server open so I can
send mail through, since IIRC we don't do SMTP Auth. I've killed them
all and restarted sshd just now. Gaaah, and because of the modem I now
get connection refused.
