I am the relatively new listowner of a small (fewer than 50 subscribers)
list. Recently, I began to get a type of delivery error that I had not
noticed during the first two months of the list's existence. I have not
changed the header (but the person who controls the server might have). In
any case, the header lists me as the owner. The delivery error message does
not prevent the offending message from being automatically redistributed to
the list. I am curious as to what the source of the error might be. The
error message follows:

>The enclosed mail file has been identified as a >delivery error for list
DIST_ED because it was sent to >the reserved 'owner-dist_ed' mailbox.

I also occasionally receive another type of delivery error saying that a
message (always a reply quoting another message) has already been
distributed to the list. Yet once again, listserv distributes the sender"s
message while forwarding to me the delivery error at the same time. Since
the error message is useless, is there a way to congigure listserv to avoid
this?

TIA
