Sorry about all those messages congratulating you for your skill at
sending e-mail.  My autoresponder seems to have been subscribed at 2:00 
this morning, I fixed it as soon as I came in about 11:00.


Well this answers a few questions for me I think. My mail was shutdown
sometime yesterday and I just got it back up today. I had to sort through
all the messages that had come in during that time and perform some
surgery to get procmail to even begin to filter them. I hope no one did
something on purpose to cause all this. I'm hot enough as it is.


Finally, it's not clear whether my responder got subscribed deliberately 
or due to a failed tweak to someone else's anti-spam filters.  The first 
two messages are copied below (neither had any body, they were just 
headers), see if you can figure it out.  I can't.

I apologize to all for the dupped messages from me. I still am not sure
what really happened or how I wound up in the middle of it. If there is
any further info that may clear this up, please send it to me so that if I
did something I will be able to make sure that I don't do it again.
