I realize that I have a unique problem because of the size of my lists
(Maptest has 15,000 subscribers; Map2 has 24,000 subscribers; and
Roadmap has 22,000 subscribers), but I have had to set the REVIEW= on
my lists to OWNER. Many mailers can not handle 20,000 line letters, and
a lot of the reviews were bouncing back to my Listmaster.
 
BTW, I am still looking for suggestions on how I can edit the
"list is closed" message to include instructions on how people can
get the Roadmap lessons using the GET FILENAME PACKAGE F=MAIL command.
Currently the message just tells people to contact the listowner for
more information.
 
James Ford made the suggestion of changing the subscription to
BY_OWNER, editing the :cc letter to say that the list is closed
and giving instructions on how to use the GET FILENAME PACKAGE
command, setting up a dummy account to be the listowner, and
then setting up a "pur rdr all" in VM schedule on this dummy
account.
 
This will work, but isn't there an easier way to edit the "closed"
letter without going through this whole song and dance?
