I have discovered what I believe is a bug in DISTRIBUTE, at least at the 1.5j level. 1. I create a DIST MAIL job, and mail it to LISTSERV at TAMVM1. (For completeness sake, there is one node between TAMVM1 and RICE, and it does not run LISTSERV. TAMVM1 is at the 1.5j level, RICE at the 1.5k level.) The job contains a To list which sends the mail file to some users at GWUVM. 2. LISTSERV at TAMVM1 receives the file, and sends me messages saying it has distributed the mail to the UHUPVM1 users, and is sending my LISTSERV the file for redistribution. (We are between TAMVM1 and GWUVM, so this makes sense.) The UHUPVM1 users receive their copies. 3. LISTSERV at RICE forwards me the file sent from TAMVM1, saying that "Another LISTSERV sent a mailfile to the LISTSERV reader." Now if I take the original DIST MAIL job and SENDFILE it to LISTSERV at TAMVM1, the distribution works. Any ideas? I've enclosed the relevant files below.
