In an attempt to reconfigure our LISTSERV node name this afternoon, I
caused a "message is coming from self" error (see below). Several
messages like this were then generated:
> An error occurred while processing file 2446270 from
> [log in to unmask]: "message is coming from self". Since this
> error is likely to be correctable, the original message has been
> transferred to [log in to unmask] to make it easier to
> resubmit the message once the problem has been corrected.
The body of the message contained the forwarded message in question, which
consisted of a LISTSERV job. So, I reset the node name back as it was,
which caused the error messages to stop. However, since it seemed like I
needed to take some action to process these messages, I began forwarding
the included jobs in each, one by one, back to our LISTSERV. However,
this generated another error message for each, which I don't understand:
> [log in to unmask] sent a DISTRIBUTE job that did not pass the security
> checks. Job 2446270 ("H-ALBION MAILDIST") transferred to
> [log in to unmask]
What are these "security checks" and what should I do about this?
Thanks,
Alan
