Rich, Like you, I can't index the list, I get nothing. I subbed just to be sure, that worked ok, rev works ok and database seraching works fine through 96/03/05 , yesterday. I noted you have a treshold=40 and that the postings seem to come rapid fire at particular times, presumably whenever the list is FREEed. Do you have a big backlog of unidstributed mail, because the list is usually on HOLD ? If so, that might be your problem. I checked some other lists there at MIZZOU1 and their notebook set-up seemed the same, and index worked ok, but they weren't on HOLD. Just a possibility.
