It is likely that Lori IS the List Owner of WWWW-L but has never seen
this message before.  Amy's answer is correct in that the list is 'on
Hold' because the disk space quota for archives has been reached.
 
The solution is for the List Owner (probably Lori) to contact
[log in to unmask] to arrange an increase in disk quota size (at a small
additional cost).  The alternative is for the List Owner to delete some
of the older archive files to free up space.
 
The way to check on your disk space allotment is to send a command to the
List Command Address:  [log in to unmask]
 
one line msg:   SHOW QUOTA
 
You don't need to identify which list you are wanting, but you must use
your List Owner email address.  (I assume LISTSERV(tm) 'looks up' your
address, finds the listname associated with it.)   In a few minutes
you'll get back something like this:
 
> show quota
Directory            Quota  Usage
---------            -----  -----
E:\FTP\LISTS\DPRV-L     4M   518k  (12.6%)
