One of the reasons why the X-DEL problem got out of hand is that the people at FRORSxx had installed an RSCS filter right after the first storm to discard the jobs. Well, the filter did reject the jobs, but instead of discarding them it forwarded them back to LISTSERV for reprocessing. So you had a machine on the network generating new jobs as fast as the spool could take it (as you can imagine, the machine quickly ran out of spool space). I notified the EARN office people as soon as I found out, on sunday, but unfortunately nothing can be done without an intervention from the FRORSxx staff. Unfortunately, there is nobody there on sundays, and apparently the person in charge of VM is not here today either. Fortunately, both of their systems seem to have crashed and are thus not sending any more jobs (we can't even telnet to there any more). Anyway that is the status - let's hope someone will show up there tomorrow so we can get this problem fixed... Eric
