I don't know, but if you have strange addresses, this could be affecting the recipient list for the message in some way as you suggest below. >When I go to the Membership Management page for the list, there are >several invalid email addresses on the list (see attached) - could this >have something to do with it? I tried to unsubscribe the invalid >addresses, but am unable to do so. Anyway to manually remove these (since >they contain characters that I can not enter from shell)? See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.013.htp>. It suggests several methods, some of which do not require entering addresses in the shell. E.g., % bin/list_members -i listname | bin/remove_members -f - listname -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
