This problem is really starting to piss me off.

I'm getting a number of requests from AOL, and their mailer queues stuff up
and sends them to me in a big batch.  The number of ABORT's I get seems
to be exponential of the number of requests that come in simultaneously
(two is bad, three is awful, four totally overwhelms me).

The kicker is that the entry is added to the list file.  However, I still
keep getting abort messages, even after they've been added.

My only recourse is to stop sendmail and delete all the various instances
in the queue.  This is undesirable.

Jeff
