It normally points to >the user who submitted the job (or rather, the user sets it to whatever >he wants and if it doesn't match his address, the job is returned to >him). Could you send me an example of these delivery notices? I forwarded to error message back to the user in the "From:" field and unfortunately didn't LOG the blasted thing. I only thought to post the question to this list after talking to our VMS systems programmer. I'll try to get a copy back from the user I sent it to and I'll definitely save the next one I get... I actually saw a "Sender:" field that was set to Listserv@JHUVM in the body of the mail rejection. I don't know for sure how the thing got started, but I assumed it was a DIST job since there was no mailing list in the header and the "file" being distributed was a NETDATA copy of a SCRIPT file. Not exactly standard mailing list fare. > Eric Sorry for the lack of concrete info, it's been a hectic day. -jj
