How is the tally kept for determining when a list has hit its daily threshold and is placed on automatic hold? I don't mean, how does one sets the threshold in the list header, that's easy. How does LISTSERV keep track of how many postings have been distributed that day? Is it a totally independent counter, which can't be reset? Or does it go by how many items are in the notebook log, and the counter can be reset by editing the log for the day (a weekly log)? Or does it go by the number of items in the listname.digest, so the counter can be reset by editing the digest? How does LISTSERV keep track of the number of items posted per day so it knows when the treshold has been exceeded so it can place the list on automatic hold? Douglas
