 Hello Tony
 
 the Maus net was my old account
 my new edress (the reality dysfunction) is
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Ta.
 
 As nvg.ntnu.no is clearly badly setup, it is essential that one
 unsubscribes before an email account dies (8-)#

I doubt it is nvg.ntnu.no - clueless sysadmin somewhere in MausNet 
uses MS software. ql-users is very clearly marked as mailing list 
by its headers and any software sending error messages to lists 
is utterly broken. 

Just another attempt by MS to refute all internet standards, I have 
seen it in the past on several other mailing lists where a 'vacation' 
program of some unsuspecting user initiated an avalanche of crap 
messages. Note that it requires real determination to achieve this 
because all existing list software includes precautions against
such events.

Hello Tony,

As I also have an email address at the same Maus C-B as Markus
Dettwiler, I checked what happened. The reason is very simple. His
account has been cancelled, because he didn't pay the fees. Now, he
reads the mouse groups in the usenet.

The same time I sent an email to inform of your mail to the list and
to change his address.
Ta.

For that to happen in the first place is _very_ bad.
I assume it is a fault with the mailing list logic.  If it is, they
should be told, Bruce.
I got about 40 I think in total.

 Is no-one else getting emails from Marcus Detwiller obviously destined
 for ql-user, but arriving in my inbox.

I got a couple. Probably more... not checked yet.
Sometimes this happens... it's bad... very bad...

It can lead to a mail overload as each message sent to the list bounces
back, which then gets propogated to the list which bounces back... etc.

I've seen that happen before, on a different list.

 Does anyone know his email so we can stop this

Only the list admin casn block the mails...
(The list should have a filter mechanism to prevent this kinda thing)
