Subject: Posible listserv bug or can someone explain the reasoning?
 
Hi Everyone,
 
I can place a file in the FILELIST of a list and set it so that
only PRV (private) or list members can access the file.
 
  AIM      FAQ        PRV OWN .       .     0 ........ ........ AIM FAQ
 
That works fine. Listserv prevents everyone not on my list from
using GET or AFD to see the contents of this file. Members of my list
can get the file or subscribe to it using AFD.
 
However; if a person uses AFD to subscribe to the file and later
I delete their subscription or they unsubscribe from my list then
their AFD subscription to that file remains in effect and I have no
rights to unsubscribe them from the file. They cannot use GET to get a
copy but they will automatically get a copy if I ever replace the file
with a new copy.
 
Does that make any sense? Is that a bug?
If not, then could someone please explain to me why the person who
is no longer a member of my list should still be able to receive
updates to a file which has PRV set?
