Yesterday we had a hardware failure in our Exchange system that stopped mail delivery for a very short time.  Unfortunately, several of our internal Listserv lists were trying to send mail at the time.  The affected email addresses were correctly put under monitoring by Listserv.

FYI, the error generated by Liserv is of the following form:

The following 6 subscribers are currently being monitored:

Err First Last Address
--- ----- ----- -------
1 11/04 11/04 [log in to unmask]
Last error: Unavailable; DSN status was 5.1.1

The list owners are now asking if the mail that failed to be delivered will be resent by Listserv.  I've been looking at Listserv Site Manager and Developer manuals, but am not finding this issue addressed (yet).  My thought is that Listserv makes one attempt to hand the mail off to the mail system and is then done with it, that no continuing attempts will be made to send from Listserv to the affected mail addresses.  In other words, the Listserv will not re attempt to send that particular message to the offending mail addresses.  Am I correct in this inference?

Thanks,

John
