When sending to a list, one can ask for 1 of the following options for acknowledgement by the peered LISTSERVs: ACK (= mail ack), NOACK(obvious) or MSGACK ( messages). I hate to get a RDR full of acks. or to be bombarded with msgs (or both..), but still want to know that LISTSERV got my mail and is about to begin the whole distribution procedure (by mail, as many times links are down and the mail sent to LISTSERV waits..). What I'd like to have is an option to get a mail ack. just from the first LISTSERV (the one to which I send the contribution), saying something like: "your mail to list xxxxxxx arrived at yyy and was processed for distribution". Anybody else thinks it's worthwhile ? /Zvika
