I've run into that a few times. If Bass is getting the list as individual messages these confirmations might be going to the list server or to everyone that posts a message. I suggest changing him to digest and writing to him to explain. A good test is to write directly to L A Bass without requesting receipts, and see if you get one anyway. I use the following boilerplate for such test messages: This is a test to see if your account is the source of some transmission errors being reported to the Microsoft Internet Technology mailing lists. If this message reaches you I apologize for the intrusion. There's no need to reply. Steve Pruitt
