I think I've used the list from this address recently. My mailbox
wasn't full or even close. However, knowing Lockheed, they
might have refused mail for a period until they figured out
how to control the spread of the virus (it's an Exchange server,
enough said). But this didn't happen until late last week so
this could be the source of the problem. However, I was
receiving mail up to last Friday. I got ths usual reminder
on 8/1/03 from mailman, but nothing since. Weird.

Thanks!

Jeff
