   Is it possible that "Dave at home" is using a web browser
based mail client??  If so, LISTSERV cannot distinguish with
responses via a web browser/web interface and a web browser mail
client, so the "OK" confirmation will be required.  This can be
disabled via WEB_BROWSER_CONFIRM=0 in go.user exported to go.sys
or in site.cfg.  Check out section 5.2 of the Site Maintainers
manual for 1.8c.
