Listserv already sends compendiums, confirmations, welcome messages, etc. from itself. Listserv *could* accept e-mail and generate a distribution with the list posting address as sender if LSoft would choose to do so. Listserv *could* be the author, but LSoft chooses not to provide that function (for what may be good reasons, but I don't know what they might be). IMHO, saying RFC822 prohibits Listserv from sending mail "from the list" is so much "hooey". cheers, wayne (Yes, I know I'm not going to change the LSoft collective "mind"!)
