As a corollary to the orignal question, you should also ask where does OWNER-listname go? From my limited research, listname-REQUEST goes to the ERRORS-TO= value, and OWNER-listname goes to the OWNER= values (from the list definitions). Some LISTSERV host's mailer could re-direct either of those before it gets to LISTSERV for processing, so, results might vary e.g., LISTSERV@UBVM (right Jim?). Extra credit will be awarded for dintinguishing between the singular and plural of OWNER when the operands of a list's keyword. /Pete ([log in to unmask]) -- co-owner LDBASE-L, TQM-L, FINAID-L, et -L -- Peter M.
