I have the local sysvars set to LIST_ADDRESS = 'LISTNAME NJE' for historical (hysterical?) reasons. I'd like to change this to use LIST-ID (if there is one) and FQDN but before I do that will that change this behavior in any way (ie. the difference in "case" of the owner-LIST address in the Welcome message(s) and the "case" of the owner-list address for normal list name and/or digests (hmm - is the digest casing different than individual items?). Since the local part of an Internet address must still be treated as case sensitive I suspect SoftSwitch is erring in not being able to auto- register them separately (probably because they only use upper case internally or something silly like that - after all - they are the ones who said it was technically impossible for them to have a "postmaster" address from the Internet because it didn't fit there INTERNAL naming convention. Not much of a gateway... (there, I feel better... ;-). But if SSW considers them equal why does it have to autoregister them anyway? Why not use the same entry? It seems SSW is being inconsistent here too... Anyway, it would be great if there could be some consistency with the address from LISTSERV and the list and even better if there is some parameter I can code to do that! ;-) marty (still in a fog in Fargo) ----------- Marty Hoag [log in to unmask] US Mail: NDSU ITS ND Higher Education Computer Network IACC Room 206 Phone: (701)-231-8639 Fax: (701)-231-8541 PO Box 5164 Bitnet: nu021172@NDSUVM1 (note 0=zero, 1=one) Fargo, ND 58105 URL: http://toons.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hoag/home.html
