< It is not uncommon when posting a mail message to a newsgroup to
< receive an error message from a "mailer daemon."  Don't panic!!  The
< devil is not in the employ of BIOSCI!  It is a rare day when every
< single computer and e-mail address in the world is functional.  Mail
< systems are programmed to alert you if mail does not go through to a
< particular address which could be on any of our BIOSCI lists.  Rest
< assured that your message was received by the *vast majority* of
< readers.  You may either just delete these "bouncers" or send them on
< to your local BIOSCI distribution node (in most cases we will probably
< be aware of them already).  It is not uncommon to receive one or two
< bouncers for any e-mail posting that you make.  Note once again that
< if everyone used news software and if we didn't have to bridge so many
