Grrrr. If you would look at the message instead of flaming UDel you would notice that the message just relayed through UDel. The real problem is somewhere off in braindamaged bitnet mailer land (UNCACDC.BITNET). UNCACDC is not part of UDel. Perhaps you should direct your efforts towards postmaster@UNCACDC.BITNET or info-minix-request@udel.edu instead of at the world. It might be more productive.
