If this is available I've either missed it or forgotten it, in which case just point me in the right direction. If one does a listwide set ( QUIET SET listname whatever FOR *@* ) one gets back a report listing all the addresses affected. If one happens to do two sets, in quick succession, maybe both in the same message, one gets all of it twice. If the list is in the thousands range this can really play havoc with one's mailbox and generate unpleasant notes from administrators about clearing out the backlog. Question is, is there an option to include in the command which will prevent the full report and LISTSERV sends only a brief "mission accomplished" message? Have I missed something, somewhere? If there is not currently such an option I think it would be a nice, useful addition. Douglas Douglas Winship Hays County, Texas [log in to unmask] Secondary AUTOCAT Listowner MEDLAB-L
