Thanks. I've implemented your script patch (LISTNAME needed to be in
quotes otherwise the server spat the dummy). The next scheduled post to
the list will be in about 10 hours so I'll have a result to look at then.
Reading Steve's reply just now makes me look suspiciously at the Perl
X-Mailer: MIME::Lite that is sending the email to the list. My
understanding is the list owner has scheduled a Perl script to export
from a database and post the resulting export.
Anyways, I'll see what the result gets written by scripts/post in the
morning.
Cheers,
Mark
