I need your help badly, after following your advice,
all of the old emails addressed to that particular
mailing list have been recent again... the amount is
enourmous that I have to stop the mailman and the
qmail processes in order to stop the unwanted
resending of emails. It wouldn't be that long til' our
bosses aproach us and... arrgh.. dont wanna think
about it now....

What should I do... the email server has just newly
been turned over to me by the former administrator and
I'm still trying to familiarize myself with various
components.. help me please....
