If the following doesn't belong here, please point me to the right list, with a direct, private message; no need to clutter up the network more than my note is doing already. :-) Fictive scenario: Our BITEARN NODES entry does *not* contain the "internet" tag. My address is <[log in to unmask]>, and I e-mail using that address. I subscribe to a discussion list using TELL, which means our 8@8 address <user@bitnode> is used. Since the discussion list says "Send=Private", e-mail I send it is refused (<[log in to unmask]> is not a subscriber). I understand that the difference is non-trivial. So I send in my subscription via e-mail, using the domain address. OK, I realize I'm going to get TWO copies of each item, so I TELL listserv to SET my subscription to NOMAIL, which should kill the items sent to <user@bitnode>. No problems so far, right? I can send interactive messages *and* e-mail to that discussion list. Now our Node Admin sends in a NODENTRY update with the "internet" tag, and we skip in time to the point that all nodes know about that tag, which includes all the LISTSERV nodes. My questions: Since <user@bitnode> and <[log in to unmask]> are now equivalent (am I right?): - Do I get e-mail from that list at all? - If so, at which address? - Does LISTSERV (or some other facility) go crazy figuring out whether I want mail (setting for domain address) or not (8@8 address)? - Do I need to do something, and if so, what? - Will LISTSERV inform me of any now redundant stuff? My own tentative answer is to kill the <user@bitnode> subscription at that point in time. Regards & thanks in advance. Scott/
