Jeff... I don't know what the minimum size for LISTSERV should be, but I do know that for Eric to distribute the latest UPDATE15 SHIPMENT, he only needed 2Meg, yet both UGA and CMUCCVMA required 3Meg to re-distribute it. (What a friendly error message "UNABLE TO SATISFY DMSFREE REQUEST blah blah" Yecch!) If nothing else, we probably need to delimit a size of file which we will distribute. Someone could (I don't know the logistics, so I could be wrong) send LISTSERV a file for redistribution which is ungodly large intentionally to crash LISTSERV. --Marc
