To make matters worse, I just noticed my autoreply sent about
3 copies of this to TECHWR-L instead of the sender.

Greetings.
Recently you wrote to me at genie-postmaster or postmaster -at- genie about a
status 5 acknowledgement that showed up in your mailbox at least once.
The message "Message delivered to all recipients with NO exceptions" was
sent out in error, and unfortunately was delivered to several mailing
lists as well, resulting in several apparently loops.
The fix to the problem is scheduled for final implementation today,
December 12, 1994. We apologize for the inconvenience you may have
endured as a result of the error.
