It has been my experience that some folks REPLY FROM: a different address than where they are subscribed TO: E.g., when one user e-mailed me at [log in to unmask] compared to where they replied to: from mail received by pmw1, it was different (was this a badly configured VAX Cluster?). The CONFIRM problem is similar to the SEND= EDITOR, where EDITOR= userid,(list) and the sender is supposed to be part of (list). Adding a second (and sometimes third) address and setting them NOMAIL/NOFILE, as well as possibly NORENEW might help. /Pete
