Housekeeping the List

["Michael P. Kube-McDowell" K-Mac@xxxxxxxx]

While we're housekeeping the XyWrite mailing list, something else--at
least one of you folks out there is sending messages to the list with
a "Confirm Reading" flag set. This results in a lot of bandwidth
being wasted, as (a) every subscriber who reads that message
generates a confirmation notice back to the XyWrite server, and then
(b) the XyWrite server generates a bounce message to each of us
informing us that CONFIRMATION is a banned word for the first lines
of a post to the list.

Please check your mailer's settings and disable the Confirm Reading
flag, if set.

Best,

   K-Mac
