Dear LSTOWN-L readers, Today I sent two postings to the DEWEYERROR list, which I moderate. The result has been a cycle of responses, each response consisting of two messages from LISTSERV reading: (First message from LISTSERV) An error occurred while logging mail to the archives of the DEWEYERROR list. An incomplete copy of the message might be present in the archive file. The list is being held to prevent further occurrences of this error. Please take corrective action and issue a "FREE DEWEYERROR" command when you want the message to be reprocessed. (Second message from LISTSERV) The distribution of your message dated Wed, 25 May 2005 13:18:27 -0400 with subject "FW: Dark light / Ken Macleod" has been postponed because the DEWEYERROR list is held. No action is required from you; your message will be reprocessed automatically once the list owner releases the list. So, I checked the archives. The first posting was present and complete, but not the "Dark light" one referred to in the second message from LISTSERV. I sent a FREE DEWEYERROR message and got the following: > FREE DEWEYERROR The DEWEYERROR list has been freed, 2 files have been released. Summary of resource utilization ... So, I expected that both postings would now appear on the list. Not so! The same thing happened again; and when I checked, the first posting was then present in the archives twice. I freed the list again, only to have the cycle start again, this time with the posting in the archives three times. As of now, the list is still held while I investigate. I checked with a DEWEYERROR subscriber, who has told me that he's not received any copies of either posting. Any advice how I can get out of this "endless loop" situation?
