Sorry, I did not catch on that he was funnelling all those email addresses down to one. That makes it hard for him to figure out how to unsubscribe (if the list REVIEW functions is disabled), but how many people are going to do THAT (the forwarding)? I would guess that that would be a rather low-priority criterion for selecting list server software. How many list subscribers will forward a bunch of email addresses down to one, and then forget which ones are subscribed to which lists? In his case, can't he look in the SIMS logs and see to which email account the list emails are being sent originally? --Lyle ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
