Actually, what it *really* means is usually some OTHER node popped out a DISTRIBUTE job that referenced server 56 (or whatever), and the originating node is the one who needs to update. If you're curious where 'server 56' used to be, look in PEERS NAMES on the LISTSERV 191 - Eric leaves 'comment' entries in when a Listserv is removed... To verify you found the offending Listserv, send it a 'release' command and see what date its PEERS NAMES is. Then send a 'backbone' listserv a 'release' command. If the dates dont match, somebody is backleveled and should be encouraged to update. Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Polytechnic Institute
