Whats worse is that I was on a mailinglist using the penet address and the
mailinglist still tries to mail me the messages. The point that the penet
address is shutdown prevents me from recieving the messages, and instead the
penet address sends me those closing down messages as a replacement for each
real message send by the mailinglist. Not to meantion that the mailinglist I
subscribed to had quite a deal of traffic so I recieve *ALOT* of those
closing down messages everyday. If you couldn't follow what I just said,
forget it it's not that important and I did a pathetic job of explaining it.
