I'd try setting up another list, as Joe suggests,  if I had direct access, but every new list goes through an approval process and I probably couldn't do it, as I'm listowner by courtesy. I've run this list for 20 years, but a few years ago the university hosting it decided only faculty members there could own lists. We found someone to be the authorized owner, and I have access because I'm the only one we could find who was interested in maintaining the list.

That's the problem, really. Subscribers still on the list don't _have_ the problem; I don't have any way to find out who's been bounced in order to contact them. Most people who've been bounced would never know (until, perhaps, they tried to post; it's a Send=Private list). And it's not particularly active -- currently a couple of dozen posts a month -- and people wouldn't realize they were off.

The list was begun, sometime a bit earlier than 1991, as a mainly discussion list, but in recent years has become pretty much all announcements -- calls for papers, job adverts, publication and conference announcements. I'm beginning to think that LISTSERV may no longer be the appropriate software (and the university hosting it might not object to losing it; I suspect it's the only one running on their server that extends internationally, and I also suspect it's something of a PITA).
