Hi List Admins. Sorry, but I couldn't find a list admin address on the web site for this, so I'm sending it to the list itself.
I'm sure others have seen this too, but any time I post to the list I'm getting a bounce from world.deshaw.com. Could an admin track down this subscriber and remove them from the list? Thanks, Matt Pounsett Begin forwarded message: > From: Postmaster <systems-postmas...@world.deshaw.com> > Subject: Important: message being returned. > Date: July 11, 2012 11:02:20 EDT > To: m...@conundrum.com > Reply-To: nob...@world.deshaw.com > > Thank you for your inquiry.
