'Course, you've gotta build the >distribute job manually (or automate it yourself)... LISTSERV won't do it >for you (as far as I know). I don't know VMS job control. Could someone tell me what this means in terms of the content of the e-mail message that I would need to send to listserv? Do I need any special permission to do this, other than being editor of the list in question? Also, is there a mechanism that ensures that only the editor or list-owner can do this? Also, could someone confirm that distribution of mail to edited lists happens if and only if "From:" or "Resent-From:" contains the e-mail address of one of the list owners or one of the editors?
