        I did find a way to automate a 'login' to each account and send the
SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE command for users of VMS Mail.
 
        VMS allows an account with CMKRNL privilege to SUMBIT a batch job
on behalf of another user with the /USER command qualifier.  The batch job
mails a file containing the signoff command and the listserver handles it
from there.
 
        Anyone wanting more details can e-mail me directly.
