I posted a question to the list Saturday morning and I've gotten about 25 repeat backs with error messages attached. Maybe somehow the server has messed up and we've ended up spamming ourselves?

Message-ID: <9510222228.AA04688-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk> OK, folks, assume I know about the repeat messages problems now; if you're having problems, email me personally (at the moment I have reports from Jenneke, Adrienne, Vivien and Jeanne). I suspect that the problem may be caused by mail bouncing back from one perosn on the list; it will, in any case, be the first thing I check tomorrow morning. Anyone who _does_ start receiving large numbers of repeat messages, please keep one copy, and the original if you have it, and send copies of each of them to me (not the list). Feel free to delete any subsequent copies, I don't think they would add any useful information.

I wasn't spamming the list on purpose. Hmmm, I've been getting multi's as well, but none of them have been going to the list. NTM [Not To Mention] that I havn't seen repeats from anyone else. --Gyrfalcon =======================msowers-+AT+-menger.eecs.stevens-tech.edu=================== Magic still exists.
