  20. I'm trying to use the [auth_ilst] positional parameter to restrict
  21. posting to a list.
  22.  
  23. From the alias file:

  35. VMSmail forwarding addresses:
  36.         comcom-x -> in%comcom-x
  37.         comcom-forward -> in%comcom-x
  38.  
  39. Mail that is sent from an address not in the named file is not delivered
  40. to the list, as expected.  However, it's not bounced to the originator
  41. either.  It just sits in the queue and gets retried laster.  The log file
  42. shows:
  43.  
  44. > $   mail/protocol=pmdf_mailshr
  45. > %PMDF-E-HOST, Illegal host/domain in address "COMCOM-X"
  46. > -PMDF-I-TEXT, you are not allowed to use this list: COMCOM-X@DECUS.Org
  47.  
  48. I don't remember what version of PMDF was first supposed to support this
  49. feature.  Should this work under 4.1-11?
  50.  
  51. If the PMDF version is not the problem, what do you suggest I look at to
  52. figure out the problem?
