Wow. What's with the lag in some of the messages just now being delivered from the list? This on is 5 days old.

Take a closer look at the headers. Some BOZO is bouncing mail back into several mailing lists. Probably a mail<->news gateway gone bad. I'm seeing this on nanog, inet-access (I think), and definitely the bb (big brother) lists. The winner appears to be ignatow@paranet.com.

I've added this to my .procmailrc

Everyone is allowed one mistake. A very simple mistake in a one time bulk mail move caused the mail to be sent back out. The process was killed when the mistake was discovered, but not before several hundred mail messaged escaped. I apologize for any inconvenience, --- Bryan A.
