Message-ID: <8706291222.AA05320@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: Mon, 29-Jun-87 08:23:05 EDT Article-I.D.: ucbvax.8706291222.AA05320 Posted: Mon Jun 29 08:23:05 1987 Date-Received: Tue, 30-Jun-87 03:34:32 EDT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Distribution: world Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 8 I hesitate to disagree with someone who has contributed so much helpful information to INFO-VAX, but I do feel that Kevin Carosso's response to the question of error messages from mail repeaters is not fully justifiable. In particular, if I send to (say) INFO-VAX@SRI-KL.ARPA, then I only want to know whether or not my mail has arrived there. If INFO-VAX turns out to be a re-distribution list, then it is INFO-VAX (or perhaps INFO-VAX-????) that needs to be informed about problems further down the line, not me. ** Phil.
