This isn't  a serious problem, just an "I am puzzled why..." item.
As we know, starting from a good few levels back, LISTSERV has a feature
whereby items sent to a list, rather than LISTSERV, which appear to be
commands (sub/unsub/set etc.) are rejected as missent commands.  I have
here one which puzzles me:
        ----------------------------
From: "L-Soft list server (1.8e)" <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: Rejected posting to [log in to unmask]

Your  message is  being returned  to you  unprocessed because  it looks  like a
LISTSERV command, rather than material intended for distribution to the members
of the AUTOCAT list. Please note that  LISTSERV commands must ALWAYS be
sent to  [blah, blah, blah]

From: xxxxxx xxxxxx <[log in to unmask]>
To: [log in to unmask]
Subject: Survey: Online catalogs

Please send replies directly to [log in to unmask] .  A summary
will be posted to the list.
    [rest of posting deleted]
   -------------------------------------------

Now, I do not recall that any email commands start with "please."  Why this
"missent command" auto reject?  Is it because the second word is "send,"
an interactive VM/VMS term?

If that is what it is, I could understand were "send" the first word, but
it isn't.  Why does LISTSERV think this legit posting is a missent command?
