TEXT/PLAIN (39 lines)
I've had several subscribers to lists at
[log in to unmask] tell me that they do not receive
back the reports from listserv which listserv tells them it is
going to send them under separate cover. E..g, if they send:

get current sclists

listserv will send them (and they will receive) a note saying
that the file is being sent under separate cover. However, they
never receive the file. This is true for various commands that
act in that way (sending both an advisory acknowledgement that
the command is being processed, and then not receiving the
actual file).

Anyone else experiencing this "selective dissemination" (or
delivery) of listserv reports?

So far, the people who have reported this problem are with
"[log in to unmask]" addresses (no reports from people who have
[or had?] "[log in to unmask] --I'm not sure whether msn.com has now
changed all of their subscribers to email.msn.com, but we have
quite a few subscribers with each of those two forms.

These people do receive postings from lists to which they are
subscribed. So, the problem seems related to responses to
commands only, and then only to some of the reports which are
sent back to these people. They also tell me that the commands
"used to work", i.e., that they used to receive back the reports
(I think this may be related to MSN changing their email
addresses from "@msn.com" to "@email.msn.com", but that is pure
speculation.

An examination of the LISTSERV LOGyyyymmdd logfiles shows that
both the notifications and the reports were sent to the person.
Where are those files ending up? I don't get any
"postmaster" reports showing non-deliveries either.
