Whoa.  This is sure to add to the total bytes brodie@moocow got,
especially if other sites had this happen.  Does anyone have any idea
why Kurt got 45 requests when we only got one?  Kurt, did they all
have unique message-ids, or was it the same id?  If the latter, and
your machine actually replied to each sendsys, how did that happen?
