|ListOwners,
|
|I own a small list ([log in to unmask]) in which I limit subscription by
|having * Subscription= By Owner.  Unfortunately a prospective subscriber
|sometimes sends me his/her e-mail address (on paper) and it is wrong!
Usually

address is
|incorrect and I can contact the user and get the correct address.  However,
|recently I had a couple of addresses which were wrong (I know this
because when
|I e-mailed them directly I did get an error message returned) but Listserv
|flagged up no fault when they were subscribed. I have not set any "Errors-to"
|path so I presume that all errors should come back to myself.

|Any ideas ?

Yes: never trust a hand-written email address!  Not only can there be
transcription errors, but some folks simply don't know their correct
email address.

ERRORS-TO field?  Exactly WHERE is this field specified?  The BIOTUROR-L
list definition keyword?

ERROR-TO=

Some RFC822 field?

ERROR-TO:
