I just noticed a few days ago that we have been returning large amounts
of mail destined for site "emory".  Our mailer tries to deliver uucp
mail for 7 days and if unsuccessful it tries to return the mail to the
sender.  If it has a valid return address, everything works fine;
otherwise, the mail disappears without a trace.  Emory has been down
for two weeks due to physical plant modifications.  The site admin
there didn't let us know of this downtime, and so I didn't know to
disable the "returner" program for their site.  Any mail sent along the
path ...!gatech!emory!... over the past 20 days should be considered as
failed and attempted again.
