Recently there were a flood of repeated postings to "net.space"
from the SPACE mailing list via the gateway on S1-C.  Somehow
the mailers on S1-A and S1-C were unhappy with each other so
that S1-A believed that S1-C rejected the letter when in fact
S1-C had accepted it.  S1-A kept retrying, producing multiple
copies of the same thing.

I'm temporarily turning off the SPACE -> net.space portion of the
SPACE gateway.  I hate debugging "sendmail" (where I suspect the
problem is), so it may be a few days before I can get it turned
back on again.

Postings to "net.space" are still being forwarded to the SPACE
mailing list.
