How about writing to MAXIMUS with just the word DROP in the 
subject line ?

T'other day, I checked my REP file before posting it - and found 2 
messages to go where only 1 was expected.

The second one was addessed to MAXIMUS with DROP as the subject, 
and had no body text at all.

I have no idea where this message came from; I didnt write it, and 
the machine is held secure from others at home;  a robot/intruder 
would have had to negotiate a DOS command or two plus three DOS 
proggies to have created it.

Maybe I triggered off some automatic de-conferencing feature of 
MultiMail - but I can't find reference to it, if so.

A right mystery.

Any suggestions ?

:-))
