Any one can do an INDEX (since your NOTEBOOK is PUBLIC) and I
was able to do so.  Only a list-owner can retrieve the actual
subscriber list since you have REVIEW restricted (though the
list definition headers ARE returned in response).
 
>But he could get response with INFO command.

>he cannot get response.
 
If this person is a BITNET user, I guess that is a possibility.
To prove that conjecture, have the user append F=MAIL e.g.,
 
REV FIRSTNEWS F=MAIL
INDEX FIRSTNEWS F=MAIL
 
>Have you ever experienced ?
 
E-mail delivery can be screwed up in more ways than you
can imagine, especially over holidays like those occurring
in the USA right now.
 
>P.S.
>He is first guy who cannot get response.
>His pop server setting is wrong ?
 
Could be that or anyone of a number of other things.
 
I suggest that you reconsider your list defintion
 
>* Subscription= Open
 
* SUBSCRIPTION= OPEN,CONFIRM
 
This will help avoid bogus (spoofed) subscriptions as
is (attempted) occurring this week on thousands of lists.
