Essentially correct, but you want to swap directory names because you want the requests and pending and digest.mbox and all to stay with the list, and there's only one listname specific thing that needs to be changed. rename the directories - e.g. mv lists/listy lists/temp_no_conflict_name mv lists/listx lists/Listy mv lists/temp_no_conflict_name lists/listx Then go to the web admin for ListX and change it's real_name to ListY and so on for all lists. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
