LISTSERV has withdrawn posting privileges from that address for 48 hours, apparently because the anti-spam feature was triggered.



As a "work-around," how about creating a new list with subscribers being the non-quiet owners of those particular lists or even subscribers being listname-REQUEST@listhost, with SEND= that "spammer" (the person who is permitted to send).

Not having tried this myself, it is only a WAG.

The "net" result may still be the original problem.

In which case the subscribers might need to be joined individually to the work-around list.
