There’s a bug (I think it’s a bug anyway) that was introduced in Listserv 16 where the list name and the directory name for the archives need to be exactly the same or this error will occur.  I don’t know if that’s your issue here or not.

The odd thing is the directory structures are there and you can see the file name in the directory.

For some reason on some random lists.  I keep getting this error message below.  My question is there a switch or something that we can put in so that it doesn't hold the messages from being distributed?  Will it still tell us about the error on the file?



This error:



>>> Error X'00000011' opening file C:\LISTSERV\LISTS\DL-WP-EMEA-SALES-EXTENDED\DL-WP-EMEA-SALES-EXTENDED.LOG1405 <<<

 -> Severity: Warning

 -> Facility: Generic error codes

 -> Abstract: File/major entity not found

 -> I/O mode: Record write



indicates that the C:\LISTSERV\LISTS\DL-WP-EMEA-SALES-EXTENDED\ directory doesn’t exist, although the mailing list is configured to use that directory to store its archives.  Since recording a copy of the message in the archives is an integral part of the posting process, that process fails and LISTSERV generates the error.



Creating the directory, or changing the mailing list’s ‘Notebook=‘ setting to point to a location that does exist, should allow you to successfully free the mailing list.



There isn’t a way to configure LISTSERV to ignore these errors.
