[news.admin] news.announce.conferences moderator's mailbox broken?

jonathan@cs.keele.ac.uk (Jonathan Knight) (01/12/90)

Some time ago I sent a call for participation notice to the moderator
of the news.announce.conferences.  Today I received this error

This seems a little odd, I would assume that a moderator would have
quite a large amount of mail and would arrange to have a very large mailbox.

Can anyone confirm that the mail arrived at the right place?  Is the
moderator on holiday or otherwise unavailable?  Is the site's mailer
working normally?  How do I get my posting approved?

     It sounds like is mailbox is actually full.  Everybody on
CompuServe gets a set amount of storage for mail, and if this get full,
then the recipient can't get any more mail.  I haven't used EasyPlex
(CIS' email system) enough to remember how much space is allocated.

     The only thing I can suggest is that you try sending your mail
again.

Your message was received at either news-announce-conferences@mcmi or
denny@mcmi (which is the right place), was approved, and was posted as
"<1990Jan12.010019.18971@mcmi.uucp>" on "Fri, 12 Jan 90 01:00:19 GMT".
 
Messages in nac are also distributed via mailing lists.  The error you
received, was from the Bitnet list (nac@vm1.nodak.edu) - one of the
subscribers on that list is a compuserve address, and his/her/it's
mailbox was full when your message arrived.

Sorry 'bout the problem.
