Well, here *is* a "fresh horror from AOL," and it has little or
nothing to do with its users' cluefulness.

Saturday my list just got three bounces from AOL for the *same* message
to the *same* user (as shown by Message-ID and Received headers going
into AOL via emin27.mail.aol.com).  The bounces came from:
        MRIN21.MAIL.AOL.COM
        MRIN19.MAIL.AOL.COM
        MRIN20.MAIL.AOL.COM
It's for a user I'd been getting bounces for full mailbox for a couple
of days (but only one per message, and from AOL.COM), so I know he's
not triply-subscribed via forwards from somewhere.

I had already set him to INDEX (this is a LISTSERV list) to reduce
bounce volume; this was from an "old" post preceding that action of mine.
If I start hearing from MRINxx for large ranges of xx, things could
end up even worse than they were though!

Cheers,
Stan
