  Yes.... you sound frustrated.... I would be as well, but perhaps
not as polite as you are. :-)

  Well, since you are asking for advice on this list... to tell you the
truth, I can't tell you if what you are experiencing is a result of
your system or the use of Listproc.  I can only tell you that 'you get
what you pay for' when your Internet provider uses a mailing list
program that, IMPO, is not up to snuff.  You might want to suggest that
if they want to offer mailing list services, that they contact
sales@lsoft.com.... I don't work for lsoft, but this list is devoted
to support of their product.... a quality product IMHO... and as a
maintainer of this product, it doesn't get any better. :-)
