Am I miss-reading the headers? + [log in to unmask] is sending this *TO* the list and thus it gets + propagated, even to the private and owner lists that are subscribed. So the question is why LISTSERV sends the note to the original list-adress ?? What are the headers of the *original* message ? If that one contains the list-addres as originator all hell breaks loose. (uhh, broke loose ?) But then again, the original message will have the list-address in the Sender field. If LISTSERV prefers Sender: above From: to send 'sent to moderator' notes to I would guess that Valdis' solution will be best. GrX
