Off the wall thought: my antique (1.8d: working on 16 upgrade) Listserv
often runs out of memory and crashes. The pre-crash .jobh files will sit
there forever, but if you rename them as .job, they'll get processed in 10
minutes. Not that you want to send out two month old email, probably.

Something causes listserv to lose or continuously reset the 10 minute timeout. I do not think this is normal listserv behavior. I fully understand the 10 minute delay and do not have an issue with that. Its when ListServ loses track and never delivers the message.

If not legitimate then they are spam which will never be confirmed and will be discarded after a few days. In either case the msg will be in the ~\MAIN directory as a LISTNAME.OKxxxxx file awaiting the OK/confirmation, not sitting in the ~\SPOOL awaiting the temp hold
