This feature breaks site administrators' automated processes which send messages to -request addresses. Examples from our site: * Notices to owners of newly-created lists. * Notices to owners of lists which are scheduled for removal. * Notices to owners of lists which have been identified as misconfigured or in violation of some site policy. Example: On a daily basis we scan all list headers for lists configured with unconfirmed open subscription. If a list is found to have this configuration, the script sends a message to the -request address. This new "feature" throws a major monkey wrench into the works when it comes to automating site administration tasks. We need a way to bypass this feature, or LISTSERV 14.3 will be DOA here. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame
