A fix shipment is being distributed to prevent a second occurrence of the SAS-L loop. In addition to the fix for that problem, this shipment will introduce a number of changes as a result of development code added shortly after 1.7f was released: - The free storage "warning" thresholds for non-backbone servers have been increased to reflect the fact that all servers are now liable to receive DISTRIBUTE jobs for their own local users. - The FOR command was converted to PASCAL to fix a number of problems associated with "Subscription= Open,Confirm" lists and as a result LSVFOR EXEC is now obsolete. To provide consistent behaviour, the "victim" will now be mailed the command output even if the FOR command was sent via TELL. - SHORTBSMTP is now the default header type for BITNET subscribers as well. Users whose mailer (still) cannot handle this type of addresses must issue a 'SET listname SHORTHDR' command. - The historical "To: count" loop detector is no longer active by default (that is, "Loopcheck= NoToCount" is now the default). To reactivate it, code "Loopcheck= ToCount<,MaxTo(nnn)>". Note that this function predates "Daily-Threshold=" and merely ensured that loops never ran indefinitely; it did not actually prevent delivery errors from being posted to the list. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you must add: NDMAIL = 1 to LOCAL SYSVARS if you run LMail or XMAILER R2.10. Even though LISTSERV will set this variable when it realizes it is dealing with LMail, it should be in the configuration file to avoid problems if MAILER is not logged on when LISTSERV is started. To date 18 servers are sending PUNCH format files to a ND-capable mailer and that is a pity. Eric
