My guess is that site-x subscribers on lists hosted at Bitnet site-x will have no problems, others non-existent Bitnet site-y subscribers WILL, unless there is a private NJE network not advertized to the public world-wide Bitnet. How those problems are related to the list-owner (ERRORS= and AUTO-DELETE=) might be list and MAILER dependent (as usual). Futhermore, none of this needed to be a problem had the sites involved used the BitNIC (mail) procedure UPDATE.
