Anne, If any message submitted to sympa contains any of the magic mailing list commands like submit cancel, remove, it will be dropped.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Anne Wilson wanted us to know: contain commands. In the bounce message there is an invitation to reply to sympa-request if you are not satisfied. I did that, but I've heard nothing and the message was not released to the list. I'm a list admin for the expert and cooker lists. I don't see your request having come through. All of my posts go through, so I'm assuming that it's a transport problem and not a problem with the server. Note that I'm just a list admin, I don't have admin priveleges on the actual machine that does the mail. I'll keep watching for any hiccups though. - -- Blue skies...

RE: [expert] I don't know how to head this
I doubt it is sobig.. at least that would not take mandrakes sympa down since it will not accept any mail from sobig machines because their dns would not be setup properly.. Heck, its hard enough to get legit mail onto this list, let alone prefab smtp engines of virus's.. I am on the wget list, and we had a head of sobig.F virus mail come through, (without their attachments.) I suspect that Sobig.F is the worst mailing virus every in terms of prevalence. rgsd Franki -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steffen Barszus Sent: Friday, 22 August 2003 7:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] I don't know how to head this Am Freitag, 22.

Mail is set to remain on server for 2 days before it is deleted. There have been occasions where I have sent postings to some list or other and it never appears on my main system. But if I go to 1 of the 2ndary system and retrieve mail through it the posting Does appear on that system. Go figure...
