Subject: [alt-beam] Re: mail problem
Yes, I think everyone on the list has received this message. The
message is from beam@yesbox.net not emptying out his e-mail address.
This is how it happens:
1. Your e-mail goes to the list
2. The list puts YOUR ADDRESS in the reply-to field, and sends it to
everyone on the list
3. yesbox.net(and everyone on the list) receive the mail
4. yesbox tries to put the e-mail into BEAM's address, but it is full
5. yesbox replies to sender, and you get an error
So, basically, everyone who sent an e-mail in the past couple of days
has received an error message from yesbox. Until this really becomes a
problem, I suggest you do nothing. One alternative is to block out the
postmaster, but I wouldn't recommend that.
