I am speculating here, but perhaps your mailing list software is too smart for your liking, and extracted your name from the From field. Does it show up as being From just your name, or with the By way of prepended? When you redirect in PowerMail it appears to format the From: field thus: From: Original sender name [EMAIL PROTECTED], (by way of Recipeient name [EMAIL PROTECTED]) From my perspective this seems a little odd, since it is like there are two From-names (separated by the comma). I haven't looked at the RFC however to see how that ought to be interpreted. One would expect a listserv to parse out the first part of it as would a human, but you never know. Another thing to keep in mind is that PowerMail redelivers using the SMTP RCPT TO mechanism while preserving the original To: header in the message. Your listserv might be receiving the message and behaving differently since it does not see the message addressed to it, but again, that's only a guess.

Database Error?
I have run into some problem with my database I think. I tried to rebuild it, as per the suggestion I received on the site, and the rebuild seemed to be successful. Then, when powermail tried to launch I got an error that said Class=DB What=2 When =3 and Err=4. I then found a file that was created in the PowerMail 4 Files directory called CTSTATUS.FCS In that it said.. Fri Dec 5 17:12:52 2003 - User# 01 13 duplicate key(s) and/or bad serial number(s) rejected... Fri Dec 5 17:12:52 2003 - User# 01 Message Database!MsgIdx.dat Fri Dec 5 17:12:52 2003 - User# 01 temp0006 Fri Dec 5 17:12:52 2003 - User# 01 1 duplicate key(s) and/or bad serial number(s) rejected... Fri Dec 5 17:12:52 2003 - User# 01 Message Database!TrayIdx.dat Fri Dec 5 17:12:52 2003 - User# 01 temp0007 I do not know what any of this means. I just want to get access again to my database of mail. Its my work information. Can anyone help? Is there a support number or email address for CTMDEV? Thank you Christian
Redirect problem
I just redirected a message to a discussion list of which I am an owner. The original sender had mistakenly sent the message to the address for subscriber requests, not the list distribution address, which is why I redirected it. I of course expected that when the message was received from the list the From window would contain the _original sender's_ name/email address, not mine, and that in the From column of the In Tray list I would see _his_ name followed by (by way of Riva Freifeld). I expected this because his original message showed his name/email address as the sender. Unfortunately the redirected message showed up on the list as having been sent by me, both in the From: window and in the From column of the In Tray list. What is weird is that the _outgoing_ redirected message, (the one I _sent_), shows up in my Sent Mail list From column correctly -- namely _his_ name followed by (by way of Riva Freifeld.) I have previously redirected messages in Powermail without this problem. The only explanation I can think of is the fact that his original message came to me as a list owner not as an individual, and therefore went through some intermediary, and therefore for some reason could not be redirected as having been sent by him. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Riva Freifeld IMAC G3, System 9.2.2, Powermail 4.2.1 P. S. Is the Powermail development group located in Geneva?
