Feather,
 
  Your problems  don't come from the  missing /*NOTIFY card in  the /*XMIT job,
but  from the  fact that  your system  has sent  the file  over the  network in
"plain" (ie non-Netdata)  format without any NJE tag  indicating the identifier
of the  file (I  mean, dataset  name such as  FEATHER.MAIL). Since  LISTSERV is
able to  distribute both  mail (with re-formatted  headers) and  non-mail files
(which are  of course  sent out  'as is'), it  must have  a way  to distinguish
between true  mail and non-mail  files. This  distinction is made  according to
the file dsname: .NOTE and .MAIL files  are treated as mail, other file ids are
treated like regular  files. Your file came as .OUTPUT  without any Netdata tag
indicating the true  dsname and was therefore processed as  a file, which means
that it  was redistributed 'as  is' to the  list. Similarly, jobs  submitted to
LISTSERV in non-mail  format can not contain RFC822 tags,  while of course jobs
submitted in mail format  should contain them. Isn't there a  way you can cause
JES to set different NJE headers for  your file like the UCLA MAILER does? This
would solve the problem.
