Subject: Admin: bouncing mail and bogus AOL messages
Message-ID: 

Two quick notes:

Earlier today, my ISP's network burped, which caused mail being sent to me
here on plaidworks to die horrible little deaths. That's straightened out
now, but for a while, random stuff was flying all over cyberspace. If you
had mail returned or got weird error messages, my apologies (it wasn't
their fault, either. They upgraded a router with what turned out to be
buggy code. I'd mention the router company's name, but they went and fixed
stuff REAL quick, too. Life happens).

Please don't assume I SAW any of that mail. If you aren't sure, please
resend it. It didn't affect mail sent to the lists itself, only my copy of
it.

Also, it looks like AOL had decided in its infinite wisdom to start
returning error messages (foo has a full mailbox; foo is not a known user)
to the original posters of messages, instead of to the admin address
carefully stuffed into the mail header {or perhaps BOTH. I'm not entirely
sure yet}. In any event, this does NOT mean your mail bounced, except to
that particular user. As I find these full mailboxes, I'm not deleting them
from the lists immediately to minimize the hassle to the other users. Just
delete those messages and don't worry about them (and I'll see what's going
on and whether I can kill them for you...).

Welcome to the information superhighway. Please fasten your seatbelts....
