Not to argue with you Nathan, but this is the section I was thinking
about (I recalled this from the example the manual used):

9.8.2. Rotating FAQ via the PROBE1 template and "Renewal= xx-
Daily"

That was the section/command I was thinking about, I just wasn't
sure what it was called.....but I knew it was in the manual
somewhere, so I just had to find it. ;)

So, now that you know what on earth I am talking about/refering
to....there is still one problem with this 'example', if I am thinking
rightly. (please let me know if I am right, or correct me if I am
wrong in my thinking).  The problem lays in that listserv only
probes those that aren't active.  Right?  Now, in the appendix, the
Renewal= has an example with an 'absolute date'.  Could you
concievable set this to being "01/01,02/01,03/01....11/01,12/01"
and have it send out a probe to everyone on the list on the first of
the month?  That is how I read the manual, can you let me know if
that is indeed how it would work?

Thanx.
