Use of DISTRIBUTE in 1.8d is at the discretion of the Listserv Maintainer, as Nathan states. Maybe I'm wrong but using it seems like "too much work" when the problem is just "junk" stored in "listname.autodel" because mail bounced back in an incorrect format for listserv to extract the correct information for the Daily Report. Wouldn't setting "Auto-delete= NO" cause Listserv to delete that file AND at the same time, when mail is next sent to the list the bounce would go to the List Owner to solve manually? I don't know, it just seems easier for a List Owner to do that instead of sending a DISTRIBUTE job quickly (by quickly I mean that they already know how to do it and that they have permission to do it). I never had reason to test it, so I'm guessing that if you set auto-delete to no that Listserv immediately deletes the listname.autodel file on the PUT. --Trish --------------- Trish Forrest ITS - Queen's University
