That was it.  Thanks Douglas.  Interesting - I
wouldn't have thought the owner would be over-rules by
the subscriber rules - Sounds like the owner isn't God
on the listserv.

A follow-up issue.  I added several names (testing),
some real and some false and set the list to:-


Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(0)

This is supposed to be (according to the docs)
immediate delete of user unknown , mail box doesn't
exist etc. subscribers.

I received the bounces at postmaster of the users that
didn't exist, but when I check subscribers, they are
still listed.

Regards...
