What i have done is made some REXX programs (for CMS) like PDL PAD MDL ...
(P = PAKISTAN M=MUSLIMS lists)
what i have to provide is just the user id and it does it all, sort of a batch
file.  Also I have the nomail exec for users that has exceeded quota and stuff
like that, this also keeps a record of who I have set nomail.
If you are on the CMS system i will send it to you.
