- If you can make SMTPSERV not to talk to LISTSERV, do it and it will solve the problem. - If you can't, add SMTPSERV@nodeid to the IGNORE variable in LOCAL SYSVARS, and LISTSERV will auto-discard anything that SMTPSERV might tell it. I was afraid that it was a 2-ways mailbox, which you couldn't afford to IGNORE. Eric
