Then he'll see the problem =) This assume that he knows who put him on the list! About a year ago I started being deluged with info-unix (the email form of comp.unix.questions). I still have no idea who put me on the list. However by carefully scrutinizing the 'Received:' headers, I was able to make an intelligent guess as to the host from which my copy was being redistributed. I wrote to the postmaster at that site. Never got a reply, but the deluge stopped. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
