Russ, what a subscribers ooofbot system does has *nothing* to do with LISTSERV, regardless of version. It has *only* to do with how the particular oofbot is written, something the user generally cannot change. Some ooofbots properly send messages to the listowner, as instructed in the LISTSERV email header. Others can't read email headers so they send messages to either the list or the person who posted the item. Nothing you can do by of configuring your list will change that; you have *no* control over it. All you can do is to ask subscribers to *please* set their subscriptions NOMAIL or unsubscribe before envoking the things. Then, either set them NOMAIL or delete them, whichever is your policy, when they don't comply. Pete's content filter won't do anything to stop the damned things when they are sent to the poster. I repeat, there is nothing you can do to control the way the ooofbots respond. Douglas
