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.
