	Eric's problem arose from sendmail attempting to deliver the article,
as well as notifying him of the problem. If the first C-news site that rejected
the article dropped it on the floor, this problem wouldn't exist. I think an
attempt to notify the sender is a good idea. It may not always get through,but
at least it tried.

	Matthew, 
  Mail me if you want patch info for the mmail program.
