  You  have a  good point:  the origin  of the  file is  in the  "FROM" dataset
(as indicated  by the FROM=DD=From), and  this dataset is not  displayed on the
LISTSERV console.  I will modify  the code to display  the origin of  the file.
 
  Well, the  files come from  LISTSERV@somenode, right,  but you get  a message
telling you from  whom it came. The sender can  request this notification being
sent via mail (INFORM=MAIL).
 
  You have no way to be sure the files  come from me. Even if I was sending the
files directly to you  with SENDFILE you would have no way to  check it out. If
you don't  believe me I'll send  you a file  from yourself ;-) This  problem is
due to the structure  of the RSCS network, it's a big  problem, there is really
no solution, but the  point is I'm not sure DISTRIBUTE makes  it A LOT worse...
 
  I'm in the process  of switching CP3 to CP4 so my node  may be unavailable in
the following hours. Just for your info.
