My concern is limited to the list-owner's perspective, where we've been given a sizelim keyword, and hopefully we can use it without bothering our postmaster (by having sizelim errors sent to him). So in the typical case where a list-owner sets sizelim to some value less than MAILMAXL, could a future version of Listserv take those messages which are less than MAILMAXL but greater than SIZELIM and send them to the Errors-to address instead of to the postmaster? (As it stands now, in order to not offend my postmaster I have eliminated SIZELIM from my list header. Thus, in practise SIZELIM is unavailable to me even though technically it's an available option.) -- Roger Burns [log in to unmask]
