If you mean the actual list definitions, those (at least on Unix) live in ~listserv/home/your-list.list (where ~listserv is the Listserv userid's home directory, and your-list is the listname. If you mean the e-mail headers for an outbound message, this gets a BIT more interesting. Sendmail usually stores a message in 2 parts, usually referred to as a 'df' and 'qf' file. The 'df' file contains the message body, while the 'qf' file has all the RFC822 headers, plus the RFC821 SMTP recipient list and other control information (such as the message priority, the time the message was enqueued, and so on). If I've not answered the question, please feel free to re-ask with more details... -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
