However, (just to make sure no nit goes unpicked) I still don't understand why the server doesn't like the value "Bi-Yearly" as a time interval, even though this apparently contradicts the "official" description of the Renewal mechanism (taken from this list's archives): > The format of the "Renewal=" keyword is the following: > > Renewal= None | item1<,item2<,...>>,Delay(n) > > Each 'item' can take any of the following forms: > >- An 'interval' specification, of the form: > > <factor->period > > Where 'period' can be either 'Monthly', 'Yearly' or 'Weekly' and the > optional factor is a number by which the period will be multiplied. The > special factor 'Bi-' indicates that the period is to be halved. Thus, > '6-Monthly' and 'Bi-Yearly' both indicate an interval of 6 months. Note that > the dash is mandatory. Thanks for your help & support. Juan P.S. I'm now trying 6-Monthly on another local list to see if this is palatable
