The limit is MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY which defaults to 10. It can be set lower or higher, and it can be set to 0 for no limit, but note that if you set it either to 0 or a large value, your server can be used a spam reflector or for 'Joe Jobbing'. Note however that the subscribe command(s) are still processed even though the 10th one gets the above response and the remainder get no response. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
