One of my favorite features for list owners in LISTSERV is the roughly
year-old feature of errors having the list name prefixed to Subject
lines so you can identify which list is the problem immediately:
> Subject: QUAKER-L: error report from EPCC
A large class of error messages I get go to owner-listname, though,
and seemingly skips the processing that identifies the list. I end up
with a subject that might apply to either of my lists *or* to my
personal mail. I haven't studied the messages to see if they all
originate from vmd.cso.uiuc.edu (where my LISTSERV is), but that might
be a safe assumption. Is this as expected, or is there a configuration
problem or other unusual condition?
I've included a representative message below that has the lack of list
identification that I referred to, with "Z" before each header to allow
them to get thru the LISTSERV check.
Thanks,
Steve, co-owner, Quaker-L and Quaker-P
