As I recall, the American list-2-news-2-list gateway was built upon NETNEWS software for VM. AFAICT there is nothing magical about the American site, _other_ than the human beings who dedicated themselves to this service. There are many LOCAL NETNEWS gateways e.g., a campus NETNEWS system will subscribe/gate to a LISTSERV(R) list and only distribute to that campus. You can check if this is happening on YOUR lists by issuing the command Q listname FOR NETNEWS@* and looking for non-*AMERICAN.EDU hosts in the output. -- mailto:[log in to unmask] Tel: +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg; University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA Powered by: LISTSERV, Eudora, Netscape, mIRC, FreeAgent blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda eat my spam and like it blah blah
