I'm sorry... I've never used the mailing list functions, so I'm not a lot of help and am probably asking stupid questions....
How is the mailing list "Stored"? Flat file, cdb, MySQL? How does qmailadmin delete it? IE, can you take code from qmailadmin and reuse it? Or, maybe even call it from command line? (I know qmailadmin is gui, but I've hardly every used it...)

I did find a way to create a mailing list from the command line but of course without deleting it first that does no good. I just manually deleted the mailing list using qmailadmin, re-created it, then let my script re-populate it. Also, I've move the list-create script to cron.daily instead of cron.hourly. No use taking up CPU cycles! Thanks all! Scott On 4/15/11 3:22 PM, Michael J.
