Subject: RE: LISTSERV Problems and Errors





Over the last few week we have encountered the following problems with

LISTSERV 1.8d.   



Note: We are running LSMTP and WINLSCP v1.1b built on Feb23 1999 

23:56:53.   While writing this, we noticed that there appears to be a more 

current build of LSMTP from LSOFT. 



1) Subscribers can not change from Digest to Regular subscriptions with

wa.exe?SUBED1=list.  Either logged into LISTSERV or not, subscribers 

change the radio button from Digest to Regular and the following command 

is sent to LISTSERV: "SUBSCRIBE listname firstname lastname"



After confirming command, subscribers then get a message that they are 

"already subscribed to the list" but no mention if their settings were updated.

Subsequently, list owner can see that the setting for subscription is still Digest.



Subscribers CAN change from Digest to Regular subscriptions with Set

commands via email.



Subscribers CAN change from Regular to Digest subscriptions with

wa.exe?SUBED1=list or using Set commands via email.



Administration (wa.exe?ACTMGR1=List) can successfully change subscription

from Digest to Regular or Regular to DIgest.



2) Intermittent Error message:



"Serious error occurred - traceback follows ---->>  Error X"00D00103"

opening file C:LISTSERV/MAIN/LISTNAME.LIST (insert LISTNAME in that spot...)

<<<Severity: Error- Facility: Win32 error codes - > Abstract: Unspecified

error (32) - Refer to the Win32 online help - > W32 info: The process cannot

access the file because it is being used by another process. >I/O mode:

Record read ??? Error X'00D00103" loading DISTRIBUTE recipients <<<->

Severity; Error-> Facility: Win32 error codes -> Abstract: Unspecified error

(32). Refer to the Win32 online help-> W32 info: The process cannot access

the file because it is being used by another process."



On May 6th downloaded and installed latest build of LISTSERV. After

restarting LISTSERV determined:



    Problem #1 - Still could not change from Digest to Regular

    Problem #2 - Could not reproduce



3) LISTSERV Postmaster began receiving messages from LISTSERV

containing the following message, "...a DISTRIBUTE job that was rejected for

the following reason: "Job did not pass security checks". Job 0000..."



4) Posts to two lists going to archives but not sent to subscribers.

Neither regular real-time posts or Digest was sent.  NOTE: Both of the

affected lists are using the MAIL-MERGE feature.  Not sure if other lists

had problem.  Took action as soon as problem detected. 



Replaced .exe files in LISTSERV's MAIN folder with files from BACKUP folder

then restarted LISTSERV. Now:



    Problem #1 - Subscribers can not change from Digest to Regular with wa.exe?SUBED1=list                   

    Problem #2 - Error X"00D00103" back

    Problem #3 - Error messages not received

    Problem #4 - Posts being sent to subscribers
