I may be missing something here, but as far as I can see LISTSERV is doing a remarkable job of filtering out vacation messages and sending them only to the owner. (Isn't it LISTSERV that's doing this?) They don't seem to be appearing on the list. I suspect they may be going to the original sender, which I consider is an inconvenience, but I can't tell who's on vacation and doing this unless _I_ post something (and I have a semi-automatic message I send which suggests that if they _must_ set up out-of-office messages, they also set their lists to nomail). -- Russ __|~_ Russell A.
