I know there are lots of you out there who want off this list and
are afraid to ask how. Well here it is.
Please save this message for future reference. Thank you.

unsubscribe firewalls

If you want to subscribe or unsubscribe something other than the
account the mail is coming from, such as a local redistribution list,
then append that address to the command; for example, to subscribe
"local-firewalls":
subscribe firewalls-performance-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
of course, I think the list has moved once or twice since then...
Thanks,
