One list I am on sent over 200 email in an hour because of the vacation auto responder loop. Finally a sys opt noticed it and removed his account but the damage was already done. That is why I really like the way this list is configured. That list has had it happen many times. One other list has done the same. I have never seen the mail loop problem with a list configured like this. -- Boyd Gerber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
