Also, I thought that Full-Auto -- which I have never tried, myself -- did not forward ANY bounces to the "errors-to" address. (Now, before anyone jumps to that keyboard, I'm talking about LISTSERV *forwarding* errors -- thus, I cannot be referring to bounces that are routed to the wrong address by misconfigured or poorly-designed MTAs.) Thus, the fact that LISTSERV is still sending bounces *despite* the Full-Auto setting is indicative of a problem, no? __________________________________________________________________________ Vince Sabio Boy & His Sabre: <http://www.insane.net/TSC/Vince/> [log in to unmask] HumourNet: <http://www.humournet.com/HumourNet/> Stop Internet Spam! <http://www.cauce.org/> Segmentation Fault: Operating System Not Booted
