I've been following the debate about AOL, and have noticed that recently
"some" of AOL's mailservers will return detailed error reports. However
LISTSERV (1.8b) seems unable to detect these and passes them through to
the list owners.
I have AUTO-DELETE set to FULL, so I shouldn't receive these messages,
should I ?
thanks for any info,
James
