It seems that the LISTSERV distribute algorithm is picking the UGA site as the closest backbone distribute point for many of your postings, or gateway to other backbone LISTSERVs, esp. for Internet addresses. (I did a DISTRIBUTE MAIL DEBUG=YES against PIPORG-L). I just fetched the backlog of SMTP q'd mail from UGA. The snapshot indicated 1569 undelivered messages, plus another 240 pending Name Service resolution. Maybe HAROLD@uga could chime in? /Pete ([log in to unmask]) -- Peter M.
