To prevent LISTSERV from using the LISTSERV backbone to distribute messages from your list, add the following statement to your list configuration: Mail-Via= Direct This will force LISTSERV to use SMTP for all messages. If your list is very large and/or very busy, you should discuss this change with your LISTSERV administrator before you make it, to ensure that it will not adversely affect other lists or services at your site. For additional information about the Mail-Via= statement, see http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8e/owner/owner.html#kMailVia For additional information about the LISTSERV backbone, see http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8e/sitemgr/sitemgr.html#_Toc128544659 -- Paul Russell, Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame [log in to unmask]
