Thanks!

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!
