The Great Mail Server Liberation of 2026
Before the liberation: the human announcing the mail, out loud, as a doorbell. The liberation itself happened after these logs end.
Everything stamped QUOTED below is copied word for word from the archive file named underneath it, typos and all. Bold and italics are shown as the writers marked them. Anything left out is marked where it was left out, with the reason. The exhibit next door is the museum's retelling; this drawer is the evidence.

The mailman, as the song tells it QUOTED #
