Greetings. Sorry to be away on the EARN conference, so things got
delayed a bit. Here is a 'batch' reply for the recent questions:

The adddition to the LISTSERV FILELIST, or any <fn> FILELIST must be done
by you. First obtain a copy of the FILELIST you wish to add files to,
add a line that is similar to one of the file descriptions, modify the
filename filetype, access codes (optional), and finally the description
that is at the end of the line. Then store this file back. It is easiest
to use LSVPUT EXEC to do the file storage. You can obtain this program
via INFO PUT command. Oh, don't bother with the filesize, date, format -
LISTSERV takes care of these itself.

I suspect that you have not used the (CR option of LSVPUT when storing
your LISTB LIST file.. LISTSERV needs this info for some reason to
realize that you are creating a new list. Also, store the list from the
LISTSERV's postmaster account..

Did the looped messages have a 'Subject:' heading? if so, what did the
subject read? (Because LISTSERV suppose to detect such loops by looking
at the subject heading)
