Thanks to Stan and Pete and everyone who helps me all the time! Now, I have another question - Pete, are you saying I *have* to change those other files (MAILTPL, WELCOME, FAREWELL? I have been running my own version of this list (same name) for several months, and what I am getting from them is the archive of when *they* were running it (for years). But I don't want to change my mail templates or configuration at all -- can I not just dump the logs he sends into the right folder and then have everything work when it restarts? Thanks again!
