S> Can anyone see any logical holes with this? It's a good scheme. I just use an AB group scheme myself. I have a single filter that adds the individual to the Exempt group as it sends the OOO with the advanced setting condition that the address is not already in the Exempt group. By seeding the group with the address of the lists I belong to, it all just works. -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.03 Beta/28 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 '
