Thanks to Stan and Pete and everyone who helps me all the time!

Now, I have another question - Pete, are you saying I *have* to change
those other files (MAILTPL, WELCOME, FAREWELL? I have been running my
own version of this list (same name) for several months, and what I am
getting from them is the archive of when *they* were running it (for
years). But I don't want to change my mail templates or configuration at
all -- can I not just dump the logs he sends into the right folder and
then have everything work when it restarts?

Thanks again!

Shannon
