Hi again all. Appreciate all of your replies and suggestions! I wrote to the Listserv maintainer at the site who tells me: "First of all, there were a couple of syntax errors in the header which I have corrected: * Send= Owners should be * Send= owner (no 's') * Review= Owners should be * Review = owner (no 's')" hmmmm... My understanding is that Owner and Owners are exactly the same thing. If it does matter, I am one of multiple owners and have the other 3 defined as quiet owners in the header. Anybody know for sure? I gleaned my info that owner and owners are functionally the same thing (for purposes of header keywords) by searching the lstown-l archives. Thanks! (I've enclosed my original query below....) Thanks again all. :-) maureen My original post: (Have addressed most of the security and other issues and thank you all for those suggestions!) >>>>Hi all. I've been asked to take over a Listserv mailing list that's been inactive for awhile, in conjunction with some volunteer stuff that i do. Have bulk added a couple of bunches of subscribers to the list and it's up around a hundred subscribers now. Sent an announcement out this morning -- about 2 hours ago. Nothing has happened even though Listserv (it's atsign mitvma dot edu) seems to be working fine and returns jobs quickly. I've looked the header over and can't find a problem so am submitting it to you kids to see if you can see a problem! (Have changed some owner names to foil spammy types.)
