Since I was not readily available, they pulled the network cord out of the UNIX box so the mail would not go out.  Where is this message hiding so I can kill it.  There after I will kill the listowner....because now all lists have stopped mailing and I cannot telnet to the box, but had to come in person to the console, from my deathbed.

Greetings fellow Margaret,

As someone else already said, you're probably going to find it in
your mailer's queue rather than Listserv's queue, if they didn't
kill Listserv.  If you want help with that, you'll need to tell us
what mailer you use - sendmail? qmail? LSMTP? (any of those sound
familiar?) and then maybe someone familiar with that package will
jump in.

One caution - don't assume that by killing sendmail (or whatever)
you will make it safe to put the box on the net.  A lot of systems
are set up to notice that sendmail (or whatever) is down and
restart it.
