Hi: Section 17.3.2 of the Site Mgr's Manual (0005-MD-01) says about the ALL-REQUEST alias: "If you need to communicate with all of the list owners on your server, simply write to the special ALL-REQUEST alias. ALL-REQUEST is expanded by LISTSERV to include all list owners of all the lists on your server." At first I understood this to mean ALL list owners, both active and quiet. But in practice I discovered that only active owners are reached by this alias. Perhaps I should have expected this, but I would ask L-Soft to just add "non-quiet" in that paragraph to make it clear, as elsewhere in the manual. On that note, I would be interested in hearing other ways (databases, scripts, etc.) that have helped people keep in touch with their list owner "community." - Kathy Montgomery
