Sorry about all this wasted bandwidth. I have contacted the Postmaster
several times, and instructed him to delete all entried associated to my
name from all queues, but have received no answer. Please bear with me,
as this was caused not by own fault, but a system shutdown that went
wrong (apparently). Sorry.

I'll let you know when all is well.
