Somehow, this line gives me the  feeling you are maintaining this list as
a free text file on LISTSERV 191,  using XEDIT. This may work, but is not
supported. Many things may fail due to that.

No idea. If the cache data is older than the time stamp of the LIST file,
it is rebuilt. SENDFILE plays with  time stamps under the assumption that
everyone bothers  to set his GMT  offset properly, which is  almost never
the case,  so if this is  the way you maintain  the list it could  be the
reason.

This should happen the way it is set up now.
