Actually, no. The relevant definition is not in Apple's dictionary (I'm astonished that that one was!); it's an extension of "borken":

	borken: adj.  (also borked) Common deliberate typo for ‘broken’.

	<http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/borken.html>

There are a number of computer/Internet slang terms that come from once accidental but now deliberate typos; my personal favorite is "cow orker".

Does anyone know why I am getting these messages? And who is zimbra?

The list remails your messages to the users. This user at anl.gov is borked. He probably signed up for too many email lists and stopped checking his mail or got fired or something. Zimbra is their mail server box.


An admin (or the listserve may do it automatically soon) will need to remove him if the errors keep occurring.


I looked-up "borked" in the Wikipedia ...
Bork may refer to:
• Robert Bork, an American legal scholar and former Supreme Court nominee
• Bork (comics), a fictional superhero in the DC Comics universe
• Ellen Bork, daughter of Robert Bork and deputy director of Project for the New American Century
• George Bork, an American football player in the 1960s
• Piotr Shabelsky-Bork, was [an] assassin of Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov
• The Swedish Chef, a Muppet who appeared in The Muppet Show, was known for his exuberant interjection of "Börk, börk, börk!"


I think the last is most applicable here. Thanks.
