If you're on a VMS system chances are you use VMSmail to reply to the message. If you use VMSmail you only have access to one field, FROM:. The system manager can put the "From:" field, the "Reply-To:" field or the address for delivery errors in that. If he puts the "Reply-To:" field things work properly when you reply but delivery errors are sent to the list if you do SET FORWARD XYZ::LITTLEQUOTA. If he puts the delivery error address these will properly go to owner-listname but so will the replies. Some lists improperly set the delivery error return address to the list rather than owner-listname and appear to work. There is a similar problem with some PC mail systems with gateways that think the delivery error address is the reply address. Eric
