While all new subscribers were asked to confirm their subscriptions it turned out some people were being asked to confirm a request to set NOMAIL while others were not. If I remember correctly it turned out that those who were using web-based mailers were the ones being asked to confirm while those not using web-based mailers were not. You might check to see if your subscribers who are being asked to confirm are using various Microsoft or Netscape mailers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Judith Hopkins, Listowner of Autocat [log in to unmask] My home page: http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~ulcjh AUTOCAT home page: http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/cts/autocat/
