I understand from answers to a previous post that many rejected list postings will apparently not be understood properly by LISTSERV and should be expected to end up in the list owner's ( or ERRORS-TO) mailbox. Still, I'm getting such a high volume of errors back for some list owners that I can't believe I haven't messed up something in the configuration for my LMAIL 1.2c or LISTSERV 1.8c. So, I'm trying one last time with what may be a better sample. The rejected note below appears to have been rejected due to a host being unreachable. This was detected by my site's SMTP (VM/TCPIP 2.3). So, with the list set to "Auto-Delete=Yes,Full-Auto" I would have expected this rejection to not be seen by the list owner. But they forwarded it to me asking what could be done about it. If anyone has any suggestions I will be grateful. If this is just the way it is, then I'm sorry to have bothered you with this again.
