I sent a message to my list, but I didn't receive it. Did it go out?

  • By default, most UGA lists are set up to send a copy of your posting to you when it goes out. You can check this setting by sending the command
    query name-of-your-list
    to listserv@listserv.uga.edu

    LISTSERV will send you a message showing your mail settings for the list: look for the REPRO option. If this is set to NOREPRO, turn the 'repro' option on by sending the command
    set name-of-your-list repro
    to listserv@listserv.uga.edu

    You can also check this option for a subscriber by sending the command
    query name-of-your-list for user@node
    to listserv@listserv.uga.edu

  • Problems may exist with the Listserv server, or in the path between your system and Listserv. Send a help or info command to listserv@listserv.uga.edu to check. If you receive a reply, look elsewhere for the problem.

  • Is your list held? LISTSERV will send you a message about this. If so, you must free the list before messages will be posted. See My list is 'held'. What can I do?).
