Summary: The mess in comp.mail.elm is THEIR fault!
Xref: mnetor news.groups:1521 news.admin:991 comp.mail.elm:215

The current havoc being wreaked in the Usenet group "comp.mail.elm" is
actually the fault of two sites: dual and uclachem.  It appears that
they both still have the newsgroup listed as moderated, even though it
changed status quite a while ago.  As a consequence, all the postings
that show up for the group are being MAILED to comp-mail-elm@hplabs
which is automatically posting them, the posting of which is then
being rejected and mailed to ... well ... it'll go on for a long time
like this.

At our end we've changed "comp-mail-elm@hplabs" to point to /dev/null
to cut our half off, but dual and uclachem both need to clean up their
active files to reflect the *UN*moderated status of the group!

	Please!!!
				Soon!!!
