I just got a curious message back from the L-CAD list-server tonight...
"The distribution of your message dated Thu, 21 Jan 1999 01:35:37 -0600
with subject "Re: number for unknown part" has been postponed because
the L-CAD list is held. No action is required from you; your message
will be reprocessed automatically once the list owner releases the list."
This must be the volume governor you were mentioning...?

Hmm, yup -- looks like it's still running at Doug's alma mater -- the
rejection message says it's from the "L-Soft server at the University
of Houston (1.8d)."
Grepping back through some RTL archives from last September, it looks like
this is also what happened last fall when there was an outage that a lot of
people noticed. I wonder how come the list hasn't been moved? Bill Katz
offered several times to move the list to his majordomo server on
mrfws1.innovation.com.
