> I am not interested in the transients, only those being monitored. You can direct the errors to whatever address you please with the Error-to= keyword (we have a special account for the errors). But the error messages have to go somewhere, and someone *should* deal with them. Just because the errors aren't handled by the auto system doesn't mean they are transient, it means they are in a form which doesn't match the standard which LISTSERV expects and can deal with automatically. If you've got fatal errors, not reported in the daily monitoring, and you don't do anything about them they will most likely continue, and you will get more, and more, and... That's one of the jobs of the listowner, handling the error messages which cannot be dealt with automatically, it's what listowners are for: the scut work which requires a thinking program (a human).
