What are forwarded errors?
Postings to the list which generate errors will be forwarded to the primary listowner by default. Examples of when you might get forwarded errors: – The computer system to which LISTSERV is trying to deliver a message is down. You will get some kind of notification that this has happened. You do not have to act on this. – The recipient account is no longer valid on the computer system (for example, the account has been deleted). If the account is on a system that uses LISTSERV, PMDF or MX as its software, this rejection notice will be in a form that the LISTSERV will understand. The local LISTSERV will then automatically delete the user account from your list. If the error notice is not from software that generates a form letter that our LISTSERV understands, you will have to delete the user from your list with the DEL command.
