There have been numerous problems with mail and news delivery since Friday, beginning with issue 248. I am aware of all of them, including duplicate copies in the mail and some people not getting copies at all. Because the 'deliver' program here at eecs is apparently out of order, (at least not working where telecom is concerned) mail is being handled from a backup site -- a place where we had to re-write a bunch of addresses on the list, etc ... and still the bounced mail is rolling in at a fast pace. I am remailing the copies by hand when I can figure out what was wrong. The comp.dcom.telecom side of things was working okay ... but apparently some problem occurred with the maps over the weekend, and a few places in my nntpxmit could not get correctly resolved by the server. Then, issue 256 got out from here only partially edited due to another software flaw ... So -- live with it. What you see is what you are getting. Things will get back to normal whenever. There is no need to write me about duplicates or non-delivery problems until at least a few more issues have gone out ... if the problems continue at that point. PAT
