There have been no sender verify failures for
mailman-bounces at www.crosswire.org since you made the change... but that
wasn't very long ago, so we need a little more time to be sure it did
the trick :)

I don't think so, assuming this change fixes the bounce issue.

BACKUPS:

FYI, I have been backing up the mediawiki daily in a cron job and then
rsync-ing the resulting set of files to my local PC here most days
(automating it using ssh-agent to supply my SSH key is not yet working
for some reason).

If DM is already doing such backups, let me know and I'll stop
duplicating effort and wasting badnwidth and disk space :)

Can you restate the remaining list of known server admin issues, please?

BTW, USCIS said our latest filing responding to their RFE resolved all
their issues except one... so now we have a second RFE to respond to in
the next couple of weeks about that.
