If I were the owner of your list, I would delete the user: David de la Hunty <[log in to unmask]> who does not VRFY at the principle MX host: punt-1.mail.demon.net nor do the other two MX hosts seem to maintain SMTP sessions. As best that I can tell from your info, that account (mail system) is effectively looping. Thank goodness you have a moderated list, otherwise, you'd be pulling your hair out trying to stem the flow, and the co-requisite on-list whining that invariable follows. ;-) -- co-owner: INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L URL:mailto:[log in to unmask] "Never confuse the messenger with the message"
