You say you "forward" the message to the list. Does this mean it appears to come from you? If not, check the Privacy Options->Sender Filters page to see if the address the message appears to come from (or a pattern that matches it) is mentioned anywhere. It's hard to even guess without seeing an actual message, and even then it may not be possible to tell from that alone. You will need to enlist the cooperation of the host to do the following: Look in the MTA logs and see whether or not the message is being received and delivered to Mailman. Assuming it is, look in Mailman's vette and error logs for clues. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
