Sorry for not answering this message earlier, but you know what happened to it and how many copies we had to discard... Anyway, here is the answer: >If a list is peered across two 1.6e servers running on hosts that are on >the internet, can they be connected across the internet? No, for two reasons: 1. Inter-LISTSERV commands related to list maintenance (forwarded ADD, etc) are always sent via RSCS. 2. The code will not recognize a peer if it does not show up with the address which is in the list.
