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.
