Apparently, this is the local NETNEWS gateway into PACE's VM/CMS operating system. Some one at Pace probably asked their NETNEWS Admin to gate it into the local environment. If you don't want the various NETNEWS servers (and their customers) to have a gateway, then you should update your list keyword definition e.g., * FILTER= also,netnews@* then issue the owner command QUIET DEL * NETNEWS@* It is possible that other non-NETNEWS-based gateways exist too. Thus, you'll need to REView your list. Needless to say, you would want all future subscriptions to be forwarded to you for your inspection * NOTIFY= YES Furthermore, you should update/create a WELCOME file enumerating any use or copyright restrictions. Nevertheless, seeing that this is e-mail, don't be surprised when someone forwards a private comment to someone you'd rather not see it. -- co-owner: INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L URL:mailto:[log in to unmask] "I've been cybertagged :-("
