I apologize if this is unrelated to LISTSERV. I can't figure out what it's related to -- except that my local guru has assured me that it's not related to anything here at Mississippi State. I am listowner of two LISTSERV lists at UGA, one very active, one very quiet. When I became listowner of the active one (WORDS-L) a couple of years ago, I moved it from Yale to UGA since UGA was just one short hop away from here. Suddenly my list mail from [log in to unmask] is going through Princeton. That in itself is not a major problem, but much of the mail is never getting to me at all. I know that because I've been checking our ftp daily logs of list mail and finding many list postings that never made it to me. Responses to LISTSERV commands are coming the normal route and getting here promptly, but mail from the list is taking a long detour and in some cases vanishing totally. Note the 'from' line in this response to a LISTSERV command: From @UGA.CC.UGA.EDU:[log in to unmask] Fri Mar 19 05:26:13 1993 From: BITNET list server at UGA (1.7f) <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Output of your job "maynor" To: Natalie Maynor <[log in to unmask]> And note the 'from' line in this list posting: From @PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU:[log in to unmask] Thu Mar 18 21:37:55 1993 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group <[log in to unmask]> Sender: English Language Discussion Group <[log in to unmask]> From: Natalie Maynor <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Testing... Comments: To: [log in to unmask] To: "Natalie Maynor" <[log in to unmask]> ******************************************************************* The whole net world has seemed kind of crazy ever since some addresses started showing up in the form @UGA.CC.UGA.EDU:[log in to unmask] That change a few weeks ago on most VM systems really threw a Unix listserv-type program that I'm using for one list into confusion. Fortunately, Eric's LISTSERV is much smarter. And it's probably my imagination that the VM change producing addresses in that new, strange-looking form released some kind of goblins into the nets. Anyway, I certainly wish I had some idea why the net goblins are eating much of my mail from WORDS-L and why it has to go through Princeton to travel from Georgia to Mississippi. Thanks for any insights anybody can offer. And apologies for my early-morning verbosity. --Natalie ([log in to unmask])
