The post was another duplicate already posted >(and not needing moderator approval) May 6. All I can say is me too! I don't have any answers, but we also had 3 posts resent to our list, though they were each March posts. Also on March 9, one subscriber received a notice that she had exceeded the 5-post limit on March 5. In addition to the odd 4-day "delay" in Listserv's response, is that she only sent in 3 posts on that day, and even the one that was "rejected" by Listserv on March 9 had gone through on March 5. And, looking back at the headers, this also involved a roadrunner server. Then, there was one subscriber who managed to post 6 messages on March 6 even though the 5-post limit was in effect using the Daily Threshold= command. I, too, would be interested to hearing why these oddities have occurred. Molly [log in to unmask]
