If so, I can manage this. Rick, because the listserv maintainer gets the message means that he or she may be made aware of the problem and fix it. The key words are "may be made aware"....that is, just because a mail msg is also sent to the listserv maintainer doesn't mean that he or she reads mail to that address regularly. Some listserv admins are also postmasters and read the mail to the postmast userid infrequently....or they may read it every day...we don't know. I maintain our listserv, and I am postmaster, but I choose to have errors come to my personal userid for listserv, and I read mail to postmast infrequently. Because we on this list don't know about your site or who your listserv maintainer is and how frequently they read mail....it is hard to tell you exactly what to do. But if you want to be sure things are corrected, and if it troubles you that mail may not be saved, contact your listserv maintainer ASAP. If you are not sure who that is, you can send a command 'release' to your listserv, and it will return the name and e-mail addr of your listserv maintainer.....look that person up in your site telephone directory and call them. You can also do nothing at all. Up to you. --Trish
