First I'd like to say that I changed "Service= Europe" to "Service= EARN" and also allowed "NETNORTH" and "BITNET", although now NetNorth is == CAN. The problem with MAILMAXL is tricky. You will usually set a non-infinite maxl value because the work disk you assigned to LISTSERV has a finite size. Conse- quently, LISTSERV will not receive the file AT ALL since it assumes it would not fit on its disk. This means that it cannot know WHO sent the file. The rejection notice is therefore sent to the RSCS origin, ie the mailer. Actually this part of the code was picked up from LSVFSEND, and THERE it was correct. I guess that all that I can do is transfer the file to the postmaster without saying anything (perhaps just a non-mail message in case it was an IBM or PROFS note, where origin = true sender). The postmaster will then have to bitch the guy himself. Eric
