A couple of notes on the temporary test list on JHUVM. First, I've changed the name top TEMP-L since *lots* of people have global lists names TEST-L already. The new name, TEMP-L, is unique, so any backbone LISTSERV will be able to find it without you having to specifically indicate that it's on JHUVM. And as per Pete Weiss' suggestion, I've changed the TEST-L list header to include the keywords, * Subscription= Open,Confirm * Topics= COGS,SPROCKETS,TOPIC1,TOPIC2,TOPIC3 so that you all can test the "topic" support. For instance, if you subscribe and send the command, set test-l topics COGS,TOPIC2 you'll only receive TEST-L mail submitted with a Subject: that starts with, COGS: or TOPIC2: or is a reply to such a mail message. There is a special topic called OTHER that you can add to the list if you want to receive mail that isn't tagged as one of the listed topics. There's another special topic, ALL, that does just what you think it would. :) -jj PS - I didn't move the subscriptions from TEST-L to TEMP-L, if you had already SUB'd to TEST-L, you'll have to add yourself to the new list.
