I don't doubt that some overzealous system administrator changed some setting on
a mail server or firewall that leads to this behavior. Unfortunately, since
LISTSERV is the only source of the problem, they are unwilling to accept that
the problem is elsewhere in the chain.

However, I notice something funny in the LISTSERV log files that makes me wonder
if this is not a LISTSERV issue after all. Note in the LISTSERV.LOG the
difference between the entries for [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]: the
former has a newline and ">" in the log file.

Also note in LSMTP.LOG there is only one "sent" entry for MYISP.COM and two for
YAHOO.COM.

The "TEST LIST" file is not received by [log in to unmask]
