(NetLandians, just to let you know Ed found me, and in case you wonder about
those strange returns also...)
Ed, your message DID get to me at ABN.ISCAMS. What appears to happen with
returns from strange places YOU never addressed a message to is:
Someone (a net, someone) redistributes a message out in other directions,
and if someone in THAT direction (like another net) can't receive your
message, an error comes back to YOU, the originator. The redirection
software assumes the originator wants to know, I guess. I'm ALWAYS getting
stuff from the Daemon Mailer and other net handlers (all automated, I suppose)
about someone's mailbox too full and messages couldn't be delivered -- so I
just ignore that unless in fact it WAS someone I intentionally addressed
a message to. Then I retrans later on or something.
So not to worry - got your reply, and am digesting it now.
Thanks, and best Christmas and holiday wishes...
