[78-L] Repeat e-mails

[David Lennick]

Unfortunately he's probably lost a lot of business, even though it wasn't his 
fault. His address is now permanently rejected by my system because it was the 
only way I could stop the flow of messages (1 via 78-C and 59 direct). He'll 
probably have to get a new address. Although I've never ordered anything from 
him and have no interest in what he sells (nor do I look at any European 
auction lists since I prefer not to spend gazillions of dollars on shipping) 
and never asked for his auction lists.
