LISTSERV give-and-take forum

Thanks for the suggestion.  I queried the list. The results came back that I
am subscribed with "Mail." And even though I don't receive my own posts or
acknowledgements, I've subscribed other non-work email addresses (like a
yahoo account), so that I can check when messages are posted.  Also, I've
asked other staff members (who are subscribed on the list) and they haven't
received anything from me either.  The messages appear in the web-based
archives, so I'm not sure why they aren't being distributed...

I did a "subscriber report" regarding the 2000 subscribers, and they are all
set as REGULAR under "Mail Style."  So, I'm still not sure what the problem
is...?

What other ways can I check for the problem?

Thanks,

Victoria

Send to the listserv:

   Query Listname-L

(Use the actual listname).  You will get back one of 2 possible responses.

1) It will tell you that you are not subscribed to the list.  So subscribe.

2) It will send back a list of your options on that list.
  a) If you have NOMAIL, you won't get anything from the list.
  b) If you don't have REPRO, you won't see your own posts.
  c) If you don't have ACK, you won't get an acknowledgement of your own
posts.

As far as 300 of 2000, you may have 1700 subscribers who are either on
NOMAIL or DIGEST or INDEX.
