Is the elist program getting ornery? :) Nope it is a valid rejection as far as I can see and here is what you ACTUALLY sent : SUBJ MOD-UPD TAG FILE_MOVERS TITL File Echo Distribution LANG English DESC The File_Movers echo provides a place DESC where file distribution coordinators DESC and HUBs can discuss distribution DESC concerns, problems and solutions. ORIG 1:261/38 MOD Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, jmklou@gmail.com PASS ---- hidden ---- DIST Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4-BACKBONE REST /Real ORIG 1:261/38 So, No GROUP keyword ! (I have not checked for any other errors but will assume that as none is reported that is the only one). Now looking at the listings in BACKBONE.RPT, which I hope you have the current copy of (from the monthly archive file ELST2401.ZIP from file area ECHOLIST, I see : -- TAGname: FILE_MOVERS Group: FIDO {Backbone} TITLe: File Echo Distribution Lang: ENGLISH DESCription: The File_Movers echo provides a place where file distribution coordinators and HUBs can discuss distribution concerns, problems and solutions. Updated on: 2023/02/21 -- Note the date it was updated. This shows that the echo expired a long time ago and has been moved over to the BACKBONE so you would not have been able to update it as far as I remember as you are no longer the moderator as elistmaint has taken it over as happens with all expired echo's. The same will apply to any other echo that have expired for which a moderator has not updated and the system auto assumes that they have dropped it for what ever reason and it is preserved into the backbone unless deleted because of zero traffic over 12 months and for that I must admit I have been lax in not going over them to compare with my system records of any postings. It is somewhat time consuming and the space consumed in the data files is small for such echos but there is no doubt a lot of dead wood (no traffic).
