Well, for one thing if you did it to ME with several hundred users I would consider it an attack (opening hundreds of streams to me to send the same message over and over is abusive) and I would be having a short talk with your ISP about yanking your connection > Or did you all get the impression that I was wanting that mandatory? > I'm sorry if I expressed myself so poorly, but wouldn't common sense > prevent such an understanding? We are simply trying to explain to you why this "feature" is not generally implemented, and why it almost certainly will not be implemented in Macjordomo. You can compile and run mailman under OS X if you like. It sends a monthly reminder message with the email address of the subscription. This is far less abusive than sending every message individually to every user. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
