Re: "You are not allowed to send mail to the internet! Received: from mail.bid.de by gatekeeper.bid.de with smtp " Please accept my regrets that this message has appeared some 12 times already today. The message is originating from mailadm@bid.de and because the list is currently unmoderated, I have no control over what a remote site sends to chemweb! Part of the problem lies in the use of the "listserver" program, where errors of this kind are sent to the list, rather than to its moderator. I have copied the administrator of bid.de in, in the hope that they can also do something to stop this flood. The easiest way for me to stop the flood is to change to majordomo as a listserver. Here, errors do go to the moderator rather than to the list. As far as you folks are concerned, the only difference is a) messages to subscribe (or as a few have done as a result of the error message, unsubscribe) must be sent to majordomo@ic.ac.uk rather than listserver b) Some of the other syntax to control the list changes c) The archive will also change to http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/chemweb/ This can probably be accomplished tomorrow by Jason. Unfortunately, I will be out all day, so cannot monitor the process. So please bear with us. I do hope you can manage to just junk the offending messages, and don't feel you have to unsubscribe from the forum. Fortunately, such rogue messages are quite rare (although you may not feel so today). Many thanks.

The chemweb list, based at Imperial College, has now been converted to use the majordomo list management software as a moderated (all messages will be vetted by Henry Rzepa before they are sent to the list). I would hope these restrictions will be relaxed in a few days once the dust has settled. Since Henry is out of the office today, I shall also act as moderator so that legitimate discussion on the list is not delayed. If you still wish to leave the list, please send a message containing the following body: unsubscribe chemweb to: majordomo@ic.ac.uk Sending a message to listserver@ic.ac.uk will NOT remove your address from the mailing list. As Henry has mentioned, the list archives have now moved to: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/chemweb/ Please accept our apologies for this problem. If you have an questions about this matter, please contact: postmaster@ic.ac.uk Jason Bain, Imperial College Network Services. -- Jason N.
