We have lists for each of our departments and each list contains all the faculty for that department as a subscriber. On occasion a faculty member has sent and will need to send an email posting to multiple lists but is being locked out for 48 hours because LISTSERV has determined the posting to be a SPAM, when in fact it's not. The individual sending the posting is not a subscriber to any of the lists on which the postings are made. I've checked the Site Manager and List Owner docs and somewhat hesitant to set LOOPCHECK = NOSPAM for each list to keep LISTSERV from flagging the posting as a SPAM. These are closed, confidential lists and our SEND = option is set to SERVICE which in turn is set to our campus domain. If I set the option, as I understand it, then if someone were to truly post a spam, the posting would be allowed. Would it be "better" to set LOOPCHECK = SPAM_DELAY(0), and does this option disable LISTSERV from checking for a spam. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. William A.
