Ben , Thanks for that analysis of the config commands It looks like you have found a few reasons why the messages are not going to the moderator. I will change the settings and do some testing. Thanks for that. We only recently upgraded the license to Classic Unlimited, but are still running the old version. I have inherited the job and have yet to learn all of the ins & outs of this system. Meanwhile, I have to try and administer the system and keep the existing 15 or so lists running. We will be moving the system to a new server shortly, which will be a good opportunity to apply an upgrade to the new system, keeping the old one as a fallback if it goes pear-shaped !! thanks for the help again.
