Hello,

I'm the listmom for [log in to unmask] I've noticed that a one of
my subscribers, [log in to unmask], often gets auto-deleted, sometimes 2
or 3 times a day. The error-report form indiana.edu claims there's an
invalid message-id. I finally found out that this id was present in a mail,
generated by  [log in to unmask] His message-id <19987310834641@> is
refused by the mailsoftware of indiana.edu, and Listserv wil auto-delete
the indiana.edu user ! Yes, an innocent user is actually punished for the
malformed Message-Id, which is probably generated by NETCOMplete, the
mail-program from Netcom.com. The user didn't userstand this at all, and
first claimed that I was playing a game with him (after having been
auto-deleted 4 times in a day !)

I've mailed the postmaster at netcom.com and indiana.edu for help, but I
haven't received any answer yet. Does somebody know a solution ?
