I will contact you backchannel with more details, but if it is a mail routing problem, it is being very selective, since it doesn't do this with messages from the listowner, and is happening only after it reaches the listserv. I have already inspected messages sent from subscribers, and found nothing wrong with their headers. Quite simply, if I subscribe one of my non-owner addresses to the list, and send a message from that address, the problem appears if I address the message to the alias specified in LIST-ID parm. The problem does not appear if I send the message to the actual (full) list name. It really is that straightforward. George Buckner Owner, Psyche-*, ASSC-*
