Distribution Status Messages

[N.MacLeod@xxxxxxxxx (N. MacLeod)]

Long-term listserver users will already have recognized the "Distribution
Status" messages being sent to PaleoNet by the ARCO Plano computer as
something listservers (especially very large ones like PaleoNet) all fall
victim to from time to time. I've contacted several ARCO (Plano)
subscribers about the problem and they are working on getting it resolved
through ARCO. However, let's be patient. The wheels of corporate business
networks often turn slowly for informal associations like PaleoNet. The
upcoming move of the PaleoNet listserver to Berkeley (which is in the final
stages of its organization) will give PaleoNet access to much improved
message filtering tools. Accordingly, I'm hoping that this sort of thing
won't be much of a problem in the future.
