Subscribers aren't known across peers. ACKs are an option which the USER can set (although there is a default for the list). Therefore the LISTSERV which first sends out the mail (usually the one the user is subscribed at) passes information about the option to it's peers. Thus you have to set Ack= No at UCHCECVM. LISTSERV@PURCCVM simply honours what it gets sent from it's peer. This is true for PEERED lists. Confusion arises from the fact that many lists have other LISTSERVs subscribed as "local redistributors". In these cases the original list looks like a regular subscriber to the re-dist'ng LISTSERV and the settings at the re-dist'ng LISTSERV take effect. Christian
