My interpretation of the error message is that one of the addressees in your mailing list was "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". If this is the case then your ISP did succeed in recognizing the mailing list and reading it. If there were a syntax error in the "To" header the servre at your ISP would not have been able to recognize and read the mailing list. It would seem that the failing address was really "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", not the name of your mailing list preceded by the "@" symbol. The error message says that the failing address was the name of your mailing list preceded by the "@" symbol. It appears that the email service at "neta-si.us" has a problem in handling the mailing list feature and it has a problem in the way it generates its error messages. Question: Did everyone on your mailing list except for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" receive your message? If this is the case, then the "@list" feature is working but this addressee's email service has a problem with the way it generates its error messages. I am going to use the "@list" feature to send a test email message to myself and also to a hopefully invalid email address that I will invent for a hopefully non-existent addressee at the "neta-si.us" email service. I will report back to you on the error messages I receive. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser: http://browser.arachne.cz/
