Date: 12 October 1986, 13:13:01 EDT From: Scott J.M. Campbell (416) 599-5527 SCOTT at UTORONTO To: LSTSRV-L at UIUCVMD I dont know if anyone has had this problem before, but I just sent something to a list of mine on which there was a somewhat bogus acct name. (It was my UNIX acct [log in to unmask]). Well when CANADA01 tried to redistribute the mail to everyone it sent the mail to WISCVM (because of the .edu i guess) WISCVM didnt like utcs.toronto.edu and bounced it back to CANADA01 who immediately redistributed it to everyone, including the bogus acct. WISCVM still didnt like it and subsequently rebounced it and so on creating a loop where everyone on the list got mega-copies of the increasing size bounce mail. I think it is better now (I removed the bogus acct), but shouldnt listserv be able to pick out bounce mail and drop it or forward it to the owner or something? Because especially with the way that the UNIX/ARPA/ETC world is reformatting their mail to domain style, addresses may change and more mail might get bounced.... scott
