It really doesn't matter how many pieces it's broken into, it will
still kill your LISTSERV. I believe this is the prime reason the
"netwide delete" feature has been removed from future version of
LISTSERV. The amount of processing required is too large for the
benefits realized. So, rather than asking them to break the file
into smaller pieces, ask them not to send them at all. :) The
preferred solution is to modify their mail delivery software to use
a file format LISTSERV will recognize and "automatically" remove
expired accounts from mailing lists after one bounce. Currently,
LMAIL, MX and PMDF support this feature. People interested in
extending other packages should find the file returned by the
following LISTSERV job useful. Just cut/paste the job into a mail
message and send it to [log in to unmask] I hate to post sample LDBASE
jobs with Peter lurking on the list to correct me(!), but this example
does appear to work. :)
