A local userid did a SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE and received some odd mail back from
the various listservs.
 
LISTSERV@OREGON1 said list SPSSX-L was locked by LISTSERV@MARIST
LISTSERV@UGA     said list SPSSX-L was locked by LISTSERV@OHSTVMA
LISTSERV@OHSTVMA said list SPSSX-L was locked by LISTSERV@MARIST
LISTSERV@MARIST  said list SPSSX-L was locked by HARRY@MARIST
 
There might have been more, I stopped PEEKing after 30 or so files.
 
Are all the messages because SPSSX-L is peered and nobody knows which server
actually has the user's subscription?  Then how did somebody know the user
was subscribed at all?  When the list is unlocked, will the user be removed
automatically by LISTSERV or does the list owner have to do a manual delete?
 
The global signoff is a great idea, but it needs some fine tuning.
