If you take this route (and I would really recommend using bulk add instead), you would probably want to temporarily disable Validate= Yes and then reenable it when you were done. Another note: The following is valid syntax. QUIET ADD listname email@address * if you don't know the user's first and last names or do not want to be bothered typing them in. (Of course using a dummy name, as was done above, will also work.) -- Jacob Haller, Technical Support L-Soft international, Inc http://www.lsoft.com/
