My guess >is, burp. > The owner of the L-QUANTUM-JUJITSU list had foolishly subscribed a number of other lists to his list. However, a number of these lists are edited, so when he sent his mail, it was forwarded to various list moderators. The problem was the notification about this was sent **back** to L-QUANTUM-JUJITSU rather than to the owner that sent the original message and that notification was redistributed. Since it was from the magic [log in to unmask] address, it was actually sent on to all the sub-lists. It appears like most of the affected lists got about 20 of these messages before we were able to step in and stop the process. -- Bill Verity - 814-865-4758 Fax: 814-863-7049 Listserv Administrator 215A Computer Building - Center for Academic Computing, Penn State University At the office - on my Mac, of course ;-)
