Re: [MLUG] Advice: When to contact web/postmaster?

[Dave McBride <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

  Thanks for the advice, all.  I did realize sigmaxi isn't the culprit, only 
the conduit, tho I see it wasn't obvious from reading what I wrote.  I need 
to stop asking stuff like this after midnight.   I'll follow up your ideas 
and collect a few messages to see who the headers point to.

Cheers,
Dave
