LISTSERV here was erratic from Wednesday (8/19) until 10am today. It turns out that NODUPD-D distributed the XMAILER NAMES and VERS8708 NODUPD files which were too large for LISTSERV to process. LISTSERV then transferred them to my rdr from where I inadvertently received and replaced them in their LISTSERV DISTRIBUTE format so that when UPDNODES tried to read VERS8708 it choked and when LISTSERV tried to do a NAMEFIND in LSVXMAIL EXEC it went into CP READ. Finally this morning after tracing through the LISTSERV execs I figured out what went wrong and increased the MAXFILEL to 6000 so LISTSERV would process the XMAILER NAMES file. (Eric, is this figure sufficient or too big?) I need to know if I should resend VERS8708 NODUPD and XMAILER NAMES to NODUPD-D for the rest of the list or did most of you already pick up these files from NETSERV? Please excuse the cross posting and multiple copies of this message but I wanted to make sure I notified the right people. Thanks, Jim...
