Dunno what happened there, or with Neils.  I received 200 bounced netmails
this morning from Marwick's (R54C) system, containing all LOC_SYSOP
messages.  I don't know whether my system burped or Neils BUT...

my log shows:

I don't think there would have been 51k of traffic in 24hours in this echo...

All of the messages were addressed to the various people at address 3:712/305

I have trapped all outbound to that address in case it burps again.
