If we have Notify=Yes, we can see when they sign off and put them back Your idea would work only to the point of adding back people who sign off the list after they sign off, but it certainly won't stop anyone from signing off the list. The only way I can see to prevent individuals from signing off a Listserv list at all is to make sure the list is always locked so that any submit requests will not be processed by Listserv. And for the person who expressed dismay that a list would exist where people could not sign off. There are lots of reasons why such a situation may come about. On the two Listservs which I run, we have hundreds of lists on which certain people must be subscribed either as part of their job responsibilities or for course requirements.
