Various "hi-jackings" occur innocently enough: 1) new list (at another host or MLM) is created using the same name as yours 2) wild-card file structures in the filelist misdirects placement or retrieval of file 3) mail alias is created that (partially) duplicates your list e.g., [log in to unmask] vs. [log in to unmask] (the former is a list, the latter was a mailbox unrelated) Be glad that you aren't the InterNIC. /Pete Weiss at Penn State, not to be confused with Portland State or the University of Pennsylvania, located next to State College, PA vs College Park, MD
