This is a mailling list, such that anyone can actually send off emails…
It was set like that to allow new comers to the BBS can post message there and the message is to be delivered. I suppose I have to stop that. I have just changed the setting of the mailing list so that only subscribers can send the message.

Having said that, you getting mails to the address not listed in this email list is nothing to do with the above. As you know, it is extremely easy to forge the mail header that anyone can actually use anyone’s mail address to send a mail.

If you can send me the actual sample as an attachment, I can try to figure out what is going on.

Re:strings that hold the bars

There are a variety of options for marimba bar cord. Some prefer a softer cotton cord for less bar noise, some prefer a more durable nylon cord, and some use cord with a nylon or even wire core covered with a softer cotton sheath. The marimba manufacturers will sell bar cord at a high mark-up or you can purchase in bulk. One common version is parachute cord, available from military surplus stores. I recommend the kind that has seven internal strands, covered with a braided sheath. Also see www.cheaperthandirt.com — they have 100-, 300-, or 1000-foot spools in black or colors.
