Dear All,
The issue with the HKL2000 e-mails seems to have been caused by the
request for an acknowledgement of receipt of the e-mail, coupled
with clients at Buffalo acknowledging the receipt back to the
list. The current situation is that these e-mails (some 7000) have
been deleted from the queues on the daresbury mail servers (which
were taken off line to deal with the problem), and that the mail
server at buffalo has been temporarily blacklisted to prevent more
messages being sent. Hopefully this particular problem has been
resolved.
Sorry for any inconvenience,

Ps - can people try and ensure that they do not ask for
acknowledgements of receipt on e-mails sent to CCP4BB.
What would also be nice - but less critical - is if people instruct
their out-of-office software
to not respond to list emails - when I post anything to ccp4bb I have
about twenty emails
from all the people that are presumably on vacation and I get jealous.
