i'm very sorry to bother you again, but the above problem of reviewing
a list which contains x.400 addresses (including blanks, which are re-
presented by x'ff') is getting more and more urgent.
listowners have already started to complain heavily and i don't know how
i can help them.
questions are now :
   - is the receiving MTA in trouble ?
   - is FAL/SMTP in error ?
   - is this a listserv problem ?
   - is there a way to circumvent the problem ?
 
HELP !!!
