Dear HPSG list administrator,

recently the HPSG mailing list has been experiencing problems with
the distribution. Apparently an invalid email address causes some
email server to bounce messages back to the list which then get
redistributed. Could this be fixed, please?

Thanks - Ulrich Germann

Dear All,

technical problems with the mailing list should be reported
to owner-hpsg-l at lists.stanford.edu, not dumped onto the
mailing list. See http://hpsg.stanford.edu/hpsg-l.html
