I understand, thanks for the additional clarification :-)
(Lot easier to illustrate a point when a number of people say the
same/similar thing)

Aaaah, but that's the crux of the situation. I have read the documentation.
I have searched the FAQs. I have asked the list and I keep getting the same
answer: there is no obvious reason a {TO:listname,CC:thirdparty} post should
result in the "message has implicit destination" error.

However I am expected to provide one.

I have an example of {TO:list1;BCC:list2} resulting in the administrative
error so I know it works as it should. But I also have an example where I
get that error without the different inputs and yet can't reproduce the
error myself.

If I'm being a bit anal it's because I need to be quite sure of myself if
I'm going to suggest the problem exists between keyboard and chair ...

Yup, tested and it works. Except I have a message from a list-member that
matches that setup and still resulted in the error indicated. Odd? I think
so. Does the error lie with the system, no, I'm pretty sure it doesn't going
by the useful input I've had. Thanks again :-)
