Correct. The only way for a user to receive a copy of his or her own messages that are sent to list B is for that user to be subscribed to list B and set to REPRO. A similar thing is true for ACK/NOACK; if the user is not subscribed to list B he or she will get an acknowledgement or not based solely on the "ACK=" setting for List B. -- Jacob Haller, Technical Support L-Soft international, Inc http://www.lsoft.com/
