Hi everyone. I hope everybody's OK by now and that the incidents of yesterday won't have too many consequences. Phil, is it OK? I hope that your employer won't cause trouble because of what happened. I think that my theory of a loop caused by a mailbox quota exceeded is right. I don't intend to blame anyone, this could happen, period. But now we have to protect ourselves against the problem: Two suggestions: 1* Discard messages from Mail Administrator etc. 2* Filter messages with size > say 50k. I checked all the legitimate mails received on the list for the past 4 months and except two at around 100k, they are all below 30k. Messages over the size limit should be subject to manual acceptance. Now I hope we'll be able to work on the project again. I have been working on it these days and have some questions. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
