Your return address on the above message was "bobdobbs@oak.circa.ufl.edu". It sounds like either the system administrators at your site changed the mailer configuration, or you are trying to use a different machine to sign off the list than you used to sign on. Judging by the names in the two messages, it looks like your machine became better connected to the internet in the time between your sign on and your attempted sign off. I have removed your name from the handhelds mailing list. -- Dan Boehlke Internet: dan@gac.edu Campus Network Manager BITNET: dan@gacvax1.bitnet Gustavus Adolphus College St. Peter, MN 56082 USA Phone: (507)933-7596

Well I subscribed to the mailserv for handhelds, but I didn't want all this stuff, so I unsubscribed and it is STILL sending... I have Unsubscribed twice and the thing keeps sending me the stuff, so does anyone know a solution ? Aghh I'm getting flooded!

You probably send your unsubcribe command straight to the same place you usually post. That will not work it just sends thousands of copies of your desire to leave to various annoyed people on the list. There should be a similarly named address where such commands are sent. For example I'm signed on through handhelds@gac.edu and I think commands like UNSUB go to handhelds-request@gac.edu or something like that.
