I happened to pull a list archive today that included mail items I haven't received yet. While I'm willing to believe the mail items in question are in transit to me, I'm not sure how to verify this. Is there a LISTSERV command that would propogate a SHOW command from one server through the LISTSERVs between here and there so I can see if some LISTSERV is particularly backed up? I presume this would be MSG based, not spool file based, because if it were spool file based, by the time a backlogged server got to my request, the files I was looking for would already be processed? :-) I could handle SHOW requests, but I'm not sure how to figure out which servers to tickle. Thanks, Nick ps - for those who care, [log in to unmask] :-) * Intelligence demands reasons, not rules.
