My understanding is that he is *not* receiving the daily reports, and he
is continuing to receive bounces that should be handled by LISTSERV.

Also, I thought that Full-Auto -- which I have never tried, myself --
did not forward ANY bounces to the "errors-to" address. (Now, before
anyone jumps to that keyboard, I'm talking about LISTSERV *forwarding*
errors -- thus, I cannot be referring to bounces that are routed to the
wrong address by misconfigured or poorly-designed MTAs.) Thus, the fact
that LISTSERV is still sending bounces *despite* the Full-Auto setting
is indicative of a problem, no?
