George,
I get your drift but NO its not possible because LISTSERV will send mails to
[log in to unmask] and the address will be automatically removed after a number
of bounces. "Subscribers are automatically deleted from the list when delivery
errors have been  reported for a  period of  4 days or  more, or when  100
delivery errors have  been received,  whichever occurs  first".

The alternative for LISTSERV not sending mails to gsarr@gambia-l and avoiding a
delivery error is NOMAIL and we are back to square one:-)


Thanks!
