Ben is the one that said LISTSERV is simple-minded so those
were his words repeated and not my own.  LISTSERV has done
a fabulous job for me except for a few minor nits.

I only asked this list because none of those sources provided
any answers.

... and that's exactly what I'm trying to let it do.  I want
LISTSERV to let my MTA do its job.  I figured the knob was in
LISTSERV to allow that.  Now that I have a hint at what I need
to make my MTA do what LISTSERV wants I have a better idea of
what to look for.
