There has been mention recently on LSTSRV-L of the 'DIST2' operand of the 'MAIL-VIA' setting for lists as making Peered lists obsolete. I've since looked for more info on DIST2, but can't find it in the Listserv documen- tation. I noticed that quite a few of the lists to which I subscribe use it, so it seems to be preferred, and I'm using it in a few lists I've recently set up locally. Can someone point me to an explanation of DIST2? (It just occurred to me that DIST2 may be a MTA option, but I can't find a description of the MAIL-VIA tag.)
