We had one subscriber at max.muhlberg.edu. Last Friday or Saturday we got a flood of errors (over 700) for that one subscriber. The sub was set to digests (unfortunately, not quietly). Now we are getting, in bursts of three, about three times a day, items like below. Note that they claim to be from autocat-request, but are really comming from max.muhlberg.edu (as far as I can tell). The sub. was finally deleted so now we're getting these things for that also. And since the from field says autocat-request, guess who gets one of those nice long stock "listname-request" messages for every one of these blasted things. I've tried to do some research, but haven't gotten far (whois shows the record is from 1991, no address for the zone contact, IP number not authoritative, etc.) Have tried to contact a few people, but nothing yet. Any bright ideas?
