The co-owner of ARCO is 'DRZ@PSUVM', so that could be 'D.R.Z.'. Sending an 'INDEX ARCO' command to 'LISTSERV@SJUVM' lists the "automatic" files: * Misc Files * rec last - change * filename filetype GET PUT -fm lrecl nrecs date time Remarks * -------- -------- --- --- --- ----- ----- -------- -------- --------------- ARCO WELCOME ALL OWN V 60 94 95/10/24 12:45:24 Welcome ARCO FAREWELL ALL OWN V 60 14 95/10/24 12:46:19 Farewell So, when a subscriber sends a 'SIGNOFF ARCO' command, LISTSERV sends the file 'ARCO FAREWALL' to that person. The text you quote is contained in that file. >Another member wrotes: >>To: [log in to unmask] >>Subject: Re: Your request to sign off the ARCO list >>UNSUB .... >It seems a reply to someone who requested the member of the list to signoff >(NOT I !) Some person sent E-mail to 'LISTSERV' with the 'SIGNOFF ARCO' command in the "body" of the E-mail. LISTSERV could not(!!!) find that person's ID on the subscriber-list, and sent E-mail to that person, using the text 'Your request to sign off the ARCO list' in the "Subject:" line in the E-mail it generated. When that person replied to the message, the E-mail was sent to the 'ARCO-request' ID, and LISTSERV reroutes that E-mail to each person listed as an "owner" of the ARCO mailing-list. So, you got a copy. Try to find an approximate-match for the ID, and remove the ID from the list.
