Yes, several of the second-go-around messages were >conmplaints about mailman from the initial swap-over. It looks like RoadRunner (mail.houston.rr.com) has been looping *very* old mail back to the sender. If you look at the headers they all contain something like this: | Received: from mail pickup service by mail.houston.rr.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; | Mon, 12 Mar 2001 09:43:50 -0600 | Received: from listserv.activestate.com ([199.60.48.6]) by mail.houston.rr.com with |Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1877.357.35); | Wed, 7 Jun 2000 02:40:04 -0500 It seems to have stopped for now, so I don't think any further actions are necessary. If you experience problems with any ActiveState infrastructure (mailing lists, web servers, FTP servers etc), please don't post to the mailing lists but send email to one of the standard contact addresses (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Otherwise it may not be noticed by the people who are actually in a position to fix things. :-) -Jan (just back in Vancouver from 2 weeks in good old Germany) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
