Sorry I guess I didn't make myself clear, we e-mail out a weekly newsletter
to thousands of people via a ASP script, it uses our mail server to send
them out. But since our users are data based, via a ASP script they can had
or remove themselves from the mailing list. Then we have a ASP page that
can e-mail out all our customers that reside in the database. That way we
don't have to worry about an uploading a user.lst to the IMAIL server. Just
using a simple SQL statement we pull the users out of the database, and then
send out our weekly mailer.

First of all.. what??
It's getting the message to folks. For that I need to MAIL them.
A lot of these folks don't even know they are going to get the mail...no its
not SPAM..
So I have to send them a message anyway..
and email is the way of choice... 'cause I am NOT making 20k phone calls :")

Why even use IMAIL on something that big. Why don't you just write a
dynamic page (using ASP, PHP, CGI, ColdFusion) to do it directly from your
database file. We do that all the time for our customers.

I think that's it.. Just upload a text file named USERS.LST?
How do I tell the list server to use that file specifically?
note: I do not have "physical" access to the box. I have to send files by
email to the box admin.
Thanks again

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but I'm sure someone will enjoy
reading it!
