In this case I suspect the list is an EASE-HOME list on L-Soft's
HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM server and the problem is that the list has run
up against its quota.  In that case, no, there is no way for the
list owner to automatically reset things and you must send a message
to the appropriate person (Jeni I assume) to get your quota raised.

The bottom line is that L-Soft's EASE-HOME customers:

a) Have their own mailing list for support concerns,
   [log in to unmask] , which is where this question
   probably should properly have gone

b) Have an easy way to check on their quotas at any time to see if
   they are in danger of hitting the limit:  the SHOW QUOTA command.
   We suggest to all of our EASE-HOME customers that this command be
   issued on a regular basis so that there are no nasty surprises.

If the list owner in question is not one of L-Soft's customers then
I apologize for any confusion, but as far as I am aware there is only
one host other than L-Soft who is running with the quota system
enabled.
