Do I have to >somehow leave the gateway there for jim@american to remove or anything? Yes, that would do it. I would suggest sending a message to the list telling everyone that the list is ending and then doing: quiet delete hwy61-l *@* When we have closed lists, we have not removed them completely. We set up a form letter in the mailtpl file to tell people who try to subscribe that the list has been closed. Here are some lines from the header of a closed list: >* >* KIDS-ACT Former KIDLINK list, now closed >* >* Review= Private Subscription= By Owner Send= Editor >* List-ID= KIDS-ACT >* Confidential= Yes "Confidential= Yes" removes the list from the global list of lists. The KIDS-ACT MAILTPL file includes this: >>>> ADDREQ1 &LISTNAME: &WHOM requested to join >.TO &WHOM >&WEEKDAY, &DATE &TIME > >Dear &MBX(&WHOM), > >We have received your request for subscription to the &LISTNAME list. >This list is now closed. Providing this kind of information will keep people from wasting a lot of effort trying to find out whether the list has moved, changed names, or whatever. >Thanks again everyone, and take care.
