Sorry about that. I've been having a problem the last few days with some moron's mis-configured server out on the net. An address at that server was subscribed to the list, and then was turned off a couple of weeks ago. Normally this means the address starts bouncing, and the LD list server removes the address from the list automatically and all is well. However, instead of bouncing immediately with correctly formatted bounce messages, this server waited a couple of weeks and then started sending hundreds of bounce messages at once, all of which were formatted wrong. The incorrect formats of the bounces confused the LD list software and caused it to remove the wrong addresses from the list. And since hundreds of them came at once, this happened to a whole bunch of people. So I had to spend quite a few hours digging through all of this mess to figure out who got removed and subscribe them back to the list. big fun. There may be more of this still, because I removed the real address on Friday and the bounce messages coming back so far are only from list posts up to Wednesday. sorry for the confusion, if it caused you any. >At 09:54 AM 3/10/2002, Mark Sottilaro wrote: >You might want to quiry Kim directly. that would make sense, as i'm the only one likely to know about list problems or be able to do anything about it, and I check my own mail more often than the list.... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
