I'm having the same problem (& getting the same message) since June. Apparently the mail server has be getting swamped with *lots* of junk mail. This is their temporary method of getting around the problem. Rob This the info that I received from WJ.......

For those interested: we were talking about 100GB spam a day, all sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] While each and every mail *not* containing a valid command would mean that Majordomo replies to it by sending the help-file. In other words: add several more 100GB pro day outgoing mail (since the incoming 100GB would be small mails, while the outgoing help-file is much larger). If all goes according to plan, and our entire mail-server park upgraded/untangled/protected, we might have things back to normal by the end of this week. FWIW: the amount of spam, worldwide, increases 5-10% each *month*. April passed the 50% level, Mai 55%. And the more loopholes are blocked by larger providers, the more smaller providers like mine are forced to do the same, overnight (with much less manpower). -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink ============= * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
