It seems that with version 1.8b an absent keyword is replaced by the mentioned default value. I just received a copy of Daily Error monitoring report stating the 4 days, 100 errors limits. Sent by LISTSERV to the errors-to=. As I am dumb at times, I did not figure out I could add my address to the other and see what gives... An empirical but probably effective way to understand the manual (if I missed the default value of unlisted keywords, can someone give the reference in the manual...) We are 5 to date who read (or browsed, I can't vouch for others) and it escaped me 'til now... If Peter at Brown did somthing it is probably only editing either the Validate= or delete an Auto-delete=no (or manual) line in the header since the previous owner often had trrouble putting the list back cause of long lne being wrapped (he is more into music than computers)...
