The X-No-Archive: can be added by the Sender directly. Side Note: I think if Listserv is removing such headers before resending to the list, this is a serious bug with Listserv. > In order to further illuminate the problem, I have included one of the > message's headers below.

It may be due to delivery queuing by MTAs, either on your end or mail-archive.com end. Since some MTAs may be configured to queue for a few days, it may be possible the messages will show up in the next day or two. How does Listserv deal with failed deliveries? > Since the message has not appeared in the Mail Archives at > http://www.mail-archive.com/wedi-transactions@lists.wedi.org/, I would > assume either 1) Mail Archive never received a copy itself (not > implausible considering it took 32 hours to get to me!), or 2) Mail > Archive did not archive such a late-arriving message because it was > confused. 1) is possible and 2) is highly improbable. I'm not aware of any date ordering limitations in the mail-archive service. --ewh _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
