Even more odd is that the LISTSERV-generated daily-reports have recently been addressed: To: To Distribution List <[log in to unmask]> Sending a 'REGISTER Melvin Klassen' corrected the problem, but finding the cause of the problem wasn't as easy, but I did, of course. Apparently, some novice list-owner issued: QUIET ADD listname [log in to unmask] To Distribution List for each(!) subscriber on the list. LISTSERV's "registry" got updated, and the daily-messages use that information when composing those messages.
