That was fixed by removing the NOKILLSENT verb (obviously.)

Here's what the relevant portion of the .CTL file looks like (after 
correction):

See anything there that's not right?  The only person that gets any kind of 
notification is me when it receives the updates for 396/ and 387/ that are 
generated locally by NLMake DOS (but those are simply dumped into the MakeNL 
RECEIVE directory by NLMake.  None of the other Nodes that submit updates by 
NetMail receive anything at all; not even errors.  I'm at a loss...

Best regards,
Marc
