Fellow CP/Mers - By error, one of our readers posted to the whole list a
message of over 145 thousand characters.  This message has caused rather
extraordinary results: reject messages are pouring in from all over.  One
particularly strange result is that, for some reason, the message seems to be
relentlessly looping between AMSAA and XEROX.  I have written to the XEROX
Postmaster about it, and I have also set up an intercept mailbox for all
incoming info-cpm mail.  If that bugger comes around again, I'll zap it!
Sorry for the inconvenience.  Please endure.  I'll get it killed.
