If you aren't willing to keep your 'Welcome to the Foo List' messages, then you may want to consider how you set those 'one-time' subscribe addresses up. There are two options. One is to use the unknown account and collect every message to your domain. This comes up about every six months on the list and you can scan the archives for all the reasons not to and all the 'but I have a special reason why I must' discussions. The other is to set up a router entry for all your one time addresses. <*-JMC-list>=michael and follow a rule about the way you use the accounts: [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the Foo list [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the SIMS list [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the MacJordomo list You could set a rule for each list address, and that would give you some assurance that you could find them in the router: <Steve-SIMS-LIST>=Steve If you're doing the former, consider the latter. It won't get you any info in the headers that isn't there, but it will give you an expected alias. -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
