The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Eric Sandquist" <address@concealed>]

Found the issue with a large accumulation of files at /home/sympa/spool/msg 
and /home/sympa/spool/msg/bad

These files were accumulated from nonexistant lists that spammers were 
attempting to hit.  We are using post fix with regular expressions to handle 
email routing verses a large number aliases.  Have not found a solution yet, 
but did clear out the files.

The Sympa.pl process is now running at low levels again.
