I've suddenly started receiving bucketfuls of error messages like the one below. Note the date on which the original message was sent -- I wonder what it's been doing for the past six months. I have no subscriber on the list whose address is anything even remotely associated with OAR.NET or with the site identified as the original target (flxplt-newcastle-de or email.jrc.com). The most important question isn't why I'm getting them ... no. it's *how do I keep them from continuing to arrive for months?* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- neal [log in to unmask] 412-624-0097 (office) [log in to unmask] 412-624-7397 (fax) Owner: [log in to unmask] "Baseball (and Lesser Sports) Discussion List" ****************************************************** Date: Wed, 11 Jan 1995 12:10:38 -0500 From: BITNET list server at BROWNVM <[log in to unmask]> (1.8a) Subject: STATLG-L: error report from OAR.NET To: "Neal D.
