Local Keyword

Local= node1,node2,...

This keyword is not available in LISTSERV Lite.

This keyword defines the nodes that are to be considered as "local nodes" for service area checking. The LISTSERV machine is automatically considered as a "local node" and does not have to appear in the list. Subscribers from any of the local nodes will receive separate pieces of mail with a single recipient in the "To" field – in other words, they will never receive a grouped piece of mail as non-local recipients would if there are more than one recipient in their node. "Node" is a generic term that means "anything after the '@' sign in the network address". For instance, "SEARN" and "SEARN.SUNET.SE" are both valid node names.

By default, this keyword takes its value from the LOCAL variable in the LISTSERV site configuration file.
