The code dealing with detection of moderated postings uses the mailpaths file to decide where to send such stuff. If you don't maintain such an alias file, you have to see to it that you mail things to a host that does. I believe that the periodic posting from Spaf on the creation of the mailpaths file lists the hosts to which he routinely distributes the master moderated aliases file. --Karl
