The St Johns administrators described moments when odd messages occur and the system can't find other systems. I think that you pretty well say from my experience today that any message is liable to come from the sytem in these confused states.I just mailed myself a file which arrived at my box (exactly as it was supposed to) with the subject line, Returned Mail, Host Unkown. I don't think that message means very much given the circumstances. -- Paul. -- Dr. Paul S. di Virgilio, University of Toronto [log in to unmask]
