Both suggestions are informative and we appreciate the contributions.
However, in keeping with LISTSERV's security model, List Owners (persons
listed as Owner= in the List Header) do not have the privileges necessary to
install a List Exit.  This must be done by someone with Site Administrator
privileges on LISTSERV and also with direct R/W access to the server (to
install the exit script/program, modify the necessary files, stop/restart
LISTSERV, etc.).  A List Owner may request such help from the Site Admin,
but a List Owner cannot do all this by themselves.  Any further discussion
of List Exits and the issues surrounding their use should be moved to the
list  [log in to unmask]  for Site Admins.

Further answers to the original query on this list (LSTOWN-L) should address
methods that only require List Owner privileges.

The List Owner (of this list) goes back to read-only mode...  :-)
