Thanks for responding so quickly Ilia.

It seems to me that if you are on this list, you or mit.edu should expect 
to get Cc's and such, effectively private emails from other members of the 
list.  But for qmail to repeatedly send me "I give up bounces" is something 
I have not encountered in all the time we've had this server setup, dating 
from 1999.

Where its at I have no clue, so I am making a little noise in hopes there 
might be a clue in the responses.  So this is also being sent to 
[email protected].  And I am wondering if that will bounce. :)

Cheers, Gene
