This doesn't answer your question, but until you figure out what's going on, there's a command to add a group of subscribers at once. It is: QUIET ADD listname DD=X IMPORT PW=your_password //X DD * user1@address1 user2@address2 ... userN@addressN /* Since it's a single command only one confirmation is required no matter how many people you add. Incidentally, it's probably helpful in diagnosing your problem if you send a copy of your mailing list's configuration here. -jwgh
