No it doesn't help, because your version of LISTSERV is by definition
outdated as compared to mine and there's nothing I can do with your
EXECs. Anyway, I don't want to make that change:
- TRANS RDR spid TO someone normally works if you have class D. It always
works if you don't have class D.
- TRANS LISTSERV RDR spid TO someone works if you have class D. It never,
repeated NEVER, works if you do NOT have class D.
Some people are running LISTSERV without class D, because either they
don't create lists and only use the file server functions (see
FILESERV@IRLEARN), or they have made mods to RSCS and CP to avoid having
to do this (BROWNVM has such a set of mods I believe, UKACRL certainly
does). I don't want to break the class G servers just because IBM decided
to break the TRANSFER command, which will probably break a lot of IBM
software, and especially as IBM later decided to mend the broken command,
which completely solves the problem.
