Re: Your removal from the FOREST list



if you just got a message that you have been removed from
the FOREST list don't worry, you're still on the list.

As Jarmo Saarikko asked me why he got error reports about a
repeated message that wasn't distributed although it was distributed.
I studied the Received: headers and found out that the list had been
accidentally subscribed to itself which on almost any other than
the LISTSERV (tm) would have caused a fast loop filling out your mailboxes
resulted in just these missleading error messages. So the message
you got was sent to the list itself informing it that it has been removed
from itself which seems to be a thing listserv doesn't catch ;-)
IF you want to know more about listserv please send message with
the words HELP and INFO ? to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.FUNET.FI. You can even
have several personal subscription options including different confirmation

Hope this helps.
