When I converted the code to PASCAL, I saw that the local NJE node was always added to the "Local=" keyword. I thought this was not logical, if you override the definition of "localness" for a list you probably expect your definition to be entirely respected. Furthermore the domain-style address was not local - only the NJE one. This was not consistent, so I took it away. But the root of your problem is different: the definition only contains a domain-style *wildcard*. While LISTSERV does know that any file for VTVM2.VT.EDU can be sent to the BITNET node VTVM2, it has never performed mappings in the other direction. This definition works for commands coming from VTVM2.VT.EDU but fails for commands sent via TELL from VTVM2. It should work if you add VTVM1 and VTVM2 to the definition. Eric
