In part it actualy is, they shouldn't be bounceing them back to both the
list (majordomo /dev/null's these) and to the sender (the crap in our
mailboxes)

Ahh...wasn't aware they were ALSO bouncing it back to the majordomo
server... I agree then. :-) You da man, Axalon! :-)

The problem is NOT with mindspring.com. The problem is with
racetrac.com, who is a client of mindspring.com.
Racetrac.com had an employee who signed up for the list
with their work address @racetrac.com. Now that they are no
longer there, their email address no longer exists. That is
why the mail is bouncing.

I'm replying to the topic (?), not just this post.  Seems to me
y'all, that the complaints about the 'problem' are out numbering the
'problem' by 3 to 1.  The 'complaints/ childish treats of
retaliation /plans of ner' do well are now the 'problem'!

  Folks, there's a little key marked 'Delete', that's usually the
best solution for unwanted mail.  If y'all want a unfettered list
it'll need to be moderated any volunteers??  

   no?, I didn't think so

I got a HILARIOUS message from them this afternoon asking me to call
their "help desk" to resolve the issue, because it's CLEARLY a
configuration issue on my end.  HA!

I'd really love to call and screw with the help desk guy's mind about
the problem.  "Are you a MindSpring subscriber?"  "Why are you calling
us?"  "What do you expect us to do?"  

Almost makes it seem like fun!  I take enough of these calls myself
during the day to inflict that sort of pain on anyone else though...

Well, *I* am a paying customer...and they were only marginally nicer to me.
