Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm sending the additions in without the bulk job syntax, just: add aapornet first last quiet set aapornet (options if needed for transfer) for email@host This does what I wanted -- sends out the add1 message. I'm sending these commands to listserv at about 150 per message--seems to handle this just fine. I only have 900 to do, so no big deal for a one- time operation. Shap Wolf
