[Gross] Configuration questions

[spamcatcher at uni.de]

Hello :)

Did that mail get through?

*duck*


And, BTW, another question:

What exactly is the meaning of "d=*" in the grossd logs?
I understand, it is a "delay", but it varies between 0 and some hundred, an i am not sure what it actualy means or comes from.

Thank you :)
