Answer:

Another subscriber's email account sent an automatic "he's
not here" email message back to BenefitsLink after the
first Newsletter was received by that account.  That
automatic message was picked up by BenefitsLink's machine,
which thought it was another issue of the Newsletter being
mailed by yours truly.  Then the subscriber's email account
sent another automatic "he's not here" email message back
to BenefitsLink after the "second" Newsletter was received
by that account ... then BenefitsLink's machine (etc.)

Have you ever seen one of those mirror-in-a-mirror scenes
at a barber shop <grin>?

Happily, this didn't go on all day.

I have taken steps to minimize the risk of this problem
happening again. I apologize.
