Already done. I've reached the proper admin at Netscape, and the
repeat messages should have already stopped.

Sorry, that would be me.

An error with our mail server caused a great deal of mail to be
bounced to me.  The majority of this mail is messages sent from
customers to our newsgroups where it is processed.  I have been 
attempting to repost this mail to our server, but obviously I 
have inadvertently resent a number of messages to external 
mailing lists as well.  

I am about 1/3 through the backlog now.  I will attempt to filter the 
remaining messages for destinations that are outside of the company.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Sarah
