Please point out to the owner that: "the list of people that Listserv originally sent it to", "the list of recipients that *received* the note without it bouncing", "the list of recipients that *read* the note once it was delivered", "the list of people who actually *SAW* the note *AFTER* forwarding, resending, and all the rest of that stuff" are all very different. Make *very* sure the list owner understands *which* of these values the owner is *really* concerned about, and what Listserv can and can't do about it., Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
