	Steve,

	If you set up a vacation message for auto-reply, you would
	generate back-traffic for each incoming mail message.

	If your company shut down over the holidays, perhaps your
	sysops set up a global message of this type, without your
	knowledge.

	An unattended server that fills up will also generate this
	kind of traffic, not uncommon over a holiday (or a sysop's
	vacation).

	Anyone faced with this should plan on un-subscribing and
	re-subscribing later.  The filled server case is, um, a little
	harder - anyone who masters that one has achieved the holy
	grail of software, "If this will cause an error, then ...",
	also known as the DWIM macro (Do What I Meant).

	Good luck, hope you're back online soon.
