I have what may be a stupid question. I have recently acquired the DIST-HAM redistribution list for Info-Hams from Arpanet. I set it up, and then upon seeing the mail volume, switched it to Mail-Via=Distribute. However, my Listserv is not part of the backbone. Was this wrong to do? I had thought the way the rules worked, non-backbone Listservs could send via distribute but would never receive distribute jobs. BTW, I have since canceled the mail via distribute option, and I do expect to join the backbone soon. But, for the nonce, what are my legal Mail-Via options? Regards, JSFisher
