That's fine. But I have my subscription to [log in to unmask]
set to NOACK, yet whenever I make a post, I get an ACK from the
[log in to unmask]  So I wrote to 'LISTSERV@SUNET' and said "SET LSTOWN-L
NOACK" and the reply was that I was not subscribed to the list.

It seems to me that if PEACH can tell SUNET that I am subscribed to the
LSTOWN-L list, it should also be able to tell it what my preferences for
acknowledgement are. As it is, it seems totally impossible to stop from
getting an ACK message from SUNET.
