[Michel...] I'm currently looking at other software to run the
ilwis-list, mainly to prevent problems like the ones mentioned above. The
list is now configured to have its address as the reply-to address, this was
done in the only possible way which causes undeliverable messages to be
bounced to the list again (and again and again)
This cannot be changed. We are aware of the lack of 'features' in
the mailserversoftware we bought and are investigating other options.
The (un)subscribe message which appear on the list should have been
directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not to the list. This is something the user
has to do right, nothing I can do about that. (However: better listserver
software might filter these messages from the list itself and forward it to
the appropriate mailbox)
We are aware of the problems and working on a solution. I'll keep
the list informed about the progress.

Michel Erdmann
