You can't. This is a known disadvantage of using sub-lists. The mailing goes out through LISTNAME-A. Even though some recipients happen to be pulled in from sub-list LISTNAME-B, the message text is already fully formed and the fact that these rcpts are actually subscribers to LISTNAME-B is not known to LISTSERV so it can't properly set the necessary variables for bottom banners. i.e. all recipients will be asked to unsub from LISTNAME-A. This is true even with mail-merge substitutions. When subscribers to LISTNAME-B attempt to unsub from LISTNAME-A they will get an error. You can change the text of this error msg so that subscribers to LISTNAME-B get specific instructions in how to unsub from LISTNAME-B. The idea of sending same msg to 2 separate lists (so each list will have its own separate and correct bottom banners) will probably work, but remember one of LISTSERV's internal definitions of 'spam' is sending an identical message to multiple lists. I know you can get away with 2, but any number 3 or greater runs the risk of tripping the internal LISTSERV spam filter and getting the sender quarantined. You may also think of not using Sub-lists= LISTNAME-B but actually making LISTNAME-B@... a subscriber of LISTNAME-A. This also can work if you are extremely careful to avoid mail loops. But if you aren't careful, you will get a message in a loop and send every subscriber to both lists 100 copies of some message before you can stop the server. That will instantly make everyone extremely angry. ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTOWN-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=LSTOWN-L&A=1
