I have a problem in need of a solution:
There is a LISTSERV discussion list with two peers: CHILE-L@PURCCVM
and [log in to unmask] Attached to node UCHCECVM are the locally-known
hosts UCHCEC3 and UCHCEC4. Users from these two local nodes are
subscribed to CHILE-L@UCHCECVM; none are subscribed to
[log in to unmask] However, LISTSERV@PURCCVM tries to send acks/stats to
users at UCHCEC3/4 which, of course, are bounced since UCHCEC3/4 are
unknown to the world.
I have tried to adjust every list keyword parm that I can and have set
ACK=NO for userid CHILE-L@UCHCECVM in the PURCCVM list, but this junk
is still being sent and bounced. What must I do to prevent acks/stats
from being sent to users on these nodes? NONOTIFY is not the answer
because (1) *@UCHCEC3 (all users at site UCHCEC3) is not accepted by
the NOTIFY processor; and (2) if I would list each user@site
individually, the problem would re-occur each time a new subscriber
came on board. The last resort is, of course, to kill the peer at
PURCCVM; but I would hope for a better solution.
Following are (1) list header from PURCCVM, (2) list header from
UCHCECVM, and (3) sample bounced mail.
