Hiya,

Ben, you're exactly right. We are using DISTRIBUTE and DBMS driven mailings
and the Bounce message does go into NOLIST-xyz.CHANGELOG. The issue is it
only records the time, date and email address and we need to know why. Can
ListServ tell me that? I was looking at the Probe function and thought that
might help ...

Thanks for your time.
