Subject: HELP - Undeliverable mail sent to original sender instead of listowner
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 15:13:06 EST
Organization: Mx-List<==>Vmsnet.Mail.Mx Gateway
X-Gateway-Source-Info: Mailing List


HELP!!!  Several of you were nice enough to respond to my plea for help
recently, so I will offer another problem I am having with my List.

What follows are several examples of undeliverable mail messages received
by a subscriber to my list.  It seems that within the last month, subscribers
have started to receive error messages from the mail they submit to my list.
Thus, someone sends a message to the listserver, the mail is distributed
successfully, then those sites that are not accessible at the time produce
undeliverable mail messages that used to be routed to me alone the listowner.
NOW ERROR MESSAGES ARE BEING ROUTED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SENDER OF THE
MESSAGE!!  As you can imagine, this is creating some major frustrations on the
list and for its listowner.

I have explored this problem with my computer support staff and they have no
answers at the moment.  They assure me that they have not changed anything
recently, thus, there is no clues to why this problem has only recently
emerged.  Thus, I need help fast before the list is destroyed from this
problem.

I have included examples from several sites in a hope that the answer will
help me account for this problem.  Thanks in advance.
