There are several "gotchas" in dealing with email and LISTSERV. You can't have a list called POSTMASTER nor probably POSTMAST or MAINT. You can't have certain SUBJECT: lines that look like error reports. You can't send mail to too many lists all at once. And you (probably) can't have lists with names that start with OWNER- or end with -REQUEST. These are reserved for list-administration processing. The first "maps" to the list defintion keyword ERRORS=, and the second maps to all of the non-QUIET OWNERS= addresses. Sending mail to listname-OWNER is in effect sending to the "bounce" address. I wonder why no admin of that list responded? That also is a problem that should be addressed IMHO. /Pete Weiss @ Penn State
