Subject: Itzik Note

The problem of the recurring note being sent to this mail exploder has been
identified.  It turns out the host sending this note, actcom.co.il, is
located somewhere in Israel.  Before our Ibmstandards host can notify actcom
that the note has been received, the actcom host's waiting period
times out.  So actcom keeps Itzik's note in its send queue to wait until
it comes back to reactivate its sendmail program, which is every half
hour.  Actcom resends the note, times out again before being notified by
Ibmstandards of receipt, tries again a half hour later, etc..
 
The postmaster at
the actcom.co.il host has been contacted and has promised to remove this
note from its send queue.  He also has agreed to increase his waiting period
for acknowledgements so any future notes sent by Itzik or colleagues do not
go through this same merry-go-round.  Hopefully this problem will be fixed
sometime tonite.
 
Thanks for Staying Strong during Hurricane Itzik,

    Sounds like an application problem to me.
