The "underlying-problem" is that the list of valid BITNET nodes changes monthly, in order to reflect additions/deletions. So, as of the update for 'VERS9608' (August 1996), several subscribers to the HEGEL list have IDs which point to former(!) BITNET sites, e.g., 'CWRU' has disconnected. One of the "privileges" of list-ownership is the ability to remove "invalid" IDs from the mailing-list. This privilege needs to be exercised. >I realize this is not a listserv list, but it seems to me that these >messages might be symptoms of some underlying problem that could >affect the internet community. Or maybe it just means they ought >to switch to LISTSERV :-). If "auto-delete" was enabled, LISTSERV would have deleted the now-invalid IDs. >Date: Sat, 31 Aug 1996 18:39:10 -0400 >Errors-To: [log in to unmask] >Reply-To: [log in to unmask] >Originator: [log in to unmask] >Sender: [log in to unmask] >To: Multiple recipients of list <[log in to unmask]> >X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas >X-Comment: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel Discussion Group > >An error was detected while processing the enclosed message.
