A few days ago, the monthly update of the BITNET tables was distributed.
One of the changes was to "register" the fact that the subscriber's node
(NCSUADM) is using a "mailer" package.  Thus, LISTSERV now sends all E-mail
for users at NCSUADM to 'MAILER@NCSUADM', rather than "directly" to the user.
Correlation!  Implied Causality?  Perhaps!  :-)

This is a separate, but quite-possibly related, problem.

It may have been more edifying to see exactly what GGS received!

The "list-owner" for the WORDS-L must update the list-definition,
e.g., change a line to read:  "REPLY-TO= [log in to unmask],Respect"
for this to happen.
