Not exactly. The ACOR node is hosted on the HOME machine, along with about 30 other virtual hosting nodes. The mail is sent to the listname-REQUEST@host address. Since this is an address intended to reach the List-Owner(s) it cannot be blocked or filtered. The mail did transit HOME but not in any improper way. Mail to the listname-REQUEST@host address must be handled by LISTSERV and forwarded to the list owner(s). The only defense the List Owner has is a certain degree of tolerance, a readiness with the DELETE key and a good set of personal mail filters. >Is there any problem with LISTSERV? None. It is working completely correctly in this case.
