The problem is that a former employee of racetrac (a chain
of discount gas stations in the southern US) signed up for
the "newbie" list and then either quit or got fired w/o
unsubscribing from the list That caused an "invalid user"
email back with every message posted to the list. So, you
see, it's not really a Mindspring problem so much as it is
a "racetrac.com" or mandrakesoft.com problem. :-)
