Do you mean, "When a post is posted TO THE SUPERLIST by a sub-list subscriber, all (both super and sub) get the post, ..."? If so, that means this person is either ALSO a subscriber to the superlist, or that the superlist has "send= public" (otherwise, how could his postings get posted to that superlist?). If not, then there's more to your lists' configuration than you're telling/aware of?? E.g., these "sub-list subscribers" are owners/editors of the superlist. > but the poster never gets a copy of the message, which we > want to happen. So repro doesn't work for the sub-list.... No. Assuming your description is strictly correct (which frankly I don't understand why), then if the person is ONLY a sub-list subscriber AND somehow gets to post to the SUPERlist (as you stated), then he wouldn't expect to receive a REPRO from that SUPERlist since he's not subscribed to it. REPRO applies to list subscribers, not to "public" posters. One might think that he still should have received the posting from the sublist (simply as one of the SUBlist subscribers --not because he authored the SUPERlist posting). So, it would seem that LISTSERV is pruning the list of recipients in an odd way (Remember Pete Weiss' observation regarding LISTSERV's behavior). (Or, your description above is wrong about who is posting where and not receiving whatever?) Peter R > So, how is the superlist know not to send a copy of the > message to the sub-list poster?????
