heh. The original report to me was enormous and I managed to overlook a "too many hops" notice. I've seen these at my site before, they've been going on for years, but they're still rare. Maybe 4-6/year. I checked all the "offending" addresses and they came back as deliverable. So I believe these are transient effects due to occasional spikes in the machine load (the machine's load is low with occasional spikes -- but the spikes occur several times/day last time I checked). seem reasonable? thanks, BTW. j. > > If you post bounce messages or logs to this list, you can change > user names, but please leave domain names intact. > > > > -- Noel Jones -- Jay Scott 512-835-3553 g...@arlut.utexas.edu Head of Sun Support, Sr. System Administrator Applied Research Labs, Computer Science Div.
