The SIGNOFF (and DELETE/DELHERE) command have been changed to operate with the 'UPCASE' option by default. That is, LISTSERV will, by default, ignore case when trying to remove someone from a list. If several entries match the target userid, all of them will be removed. A 'MIXedcase' option has been provided to fore case to be respected during the search. Additionally, whenever a SIGNOFF command fails because the user could not be found on the list, the following mailform will be sent to the list owners cc: the originator, unless the MIXEDCASE option was specified or this was a 'SIGNOFF *' request: *----------------------------------------------------------------------------* Dear list owner, Local VM Wizard <WIZARD@FRECP11> has attempted to sign off the TEST-L distribution list (Test List) with the 'UPCASE' option, but could not be found in the list of recipients. It is possible that a "synonym" address exists in the list (eg one with a less explicit domain phrase, or with an explicit '%' routing through a particular gateway). Please check the list manually for an address that could possibly map to [log in to unmask] Virtually, The LISTSERV management *----------------------------------------------------------------------------* This should prevent users from sending mail to the list when they have not been able to signoff by sending mail to LISTSERV. It will of course not prevent them from sending mail to the list when they have not tried sending it to LISTSERV, but that's another matter entirely. Eric
