Not really silent, just not fond of the idea. You can set everyone on the list to the deprecated (but still documented) FULL822 personal option and a separate SMTP envelope is generated for each address. This is deprecated, however, because it significantly slows things down, particularly if the outbound SMTP server is optimised for BSMTP. The problem is really not with LISTSERV, though. The IIS SMTP engine shouldn't be trying to throw errors back in the middle of a BSMTP transaction. From LISTSERV's perspective, a well-behaved SMTP server should accept the BSMTP transaction as a unit and send delivery errors back only after the entire transaction is finished. LISTSERV is not a full-featured SMTP server; its function is to hand off mail in bulk to a full-featured SMTP server for delivery, and it is not designed to handle errors generated "on the fly" in the middle of a BSMTP transaction. Some SMTP servers can be configured not to do this sort of thing (for instance, sendmail often is configured by default to do canonicalization of addresses on the fly, which doesn't play well with LISTSERV, but you can turn that off by adding FEATURE(`nocanonify') in sendmail.mc). However, I don't know if the IIS server can be reconfigured not to throw delivery errors during an SMTP conversation or not. I'm sure you'll find quite a bit of art on this subject in the archives of this list, though. Nathan
