I'm sure if you are subscribed to any lists, you'll know why I was trying to serve this guy off.... when the first few messages popped into my reader, I issued the following command (messages from LISTSERV's console): 3 Nov 1994 12:06:43 From LSVMAINT@UGA: serve [log in to unmask] off 3 Nov 1994 12:06:43 To [log in to unmask]: Your access to LISTSERV has just been suspended by [log in to unmask] Commands (...) 3 Nov 1994 12:06:43 To LSVMAINT@UGA: [log in to unmask] has been permanently served out. Access can be (...) 3 Nov 1994 12:06:56 Sent information mail to [log in to unmask] So far so good, but a minute later I get another one: LISTSERV still seems to be distributing his mail: 3 Nov 1994 12:07:11 Processing file 6192 from MAILER@UGA 3 Nov 1994 12:07:12 Processing mail from [log in to unmask] for SCRIPT-L 3 Nov 1994 12:07:14 Distributing mail ("SCRIPT-L") from owner-script-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU... 3 Nov 1994 12:07:14 Mail delivered to [log in to unmask] 3 Nov 1994 12:07:14 Done - 1 outbound file (1 rcpt). 3 Nov 1994 12:07:14 Distributing mail ("SCRIPT-L") from owner-script-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU... 3 Nov 1994 12:07:14 Mail forwarded to LISTSERV@ALBNYVM1 for 2 recipients. ... rest of distribute deleted.... I tried to serve him off again, entering his address case-sensitively, but LISTSERV said he (uppercase) was already served off. Meanwhile, a few more UGA lists got hit. Am I misunderstanding what SERVE OFF does? Do I also have to add an id to the list filters to keep him from posting? ** Jean Snow UGA Systems/Postmaster [log in to unmask] ** ** University of Georgia, Athens, GA JEAN@UGA (Bitnet) **
