  Sure, this can  be done... What I  had thought of is the  following: create a
list on  a central LISTSERV site,  owned by all the  'official' relay accounts,
with Review= Owner (I'd have to check review can be set to 'owner', but if it's
not, it's because  I have forgotten to  replace the internal test by  a call to
the new LSVALLOW routine :-) ), Send=  Owner, Notify= No. The relays would then
automatically issue a "QUIET ADD" to add the  guy to the list upon receipt of a
/SIGNUP command. The list password would be  unknown to the relayops so that no
relayop can change  the header, and Validate= Store only.  That would provide a
list of  all relay  users in the  world :-) The  central LISTSERV  userid could
have class 4 privs on all relays and a  command could be sent to it to lock out
the guy on ALL the relay sites :-) I plan to add a "$" command to the next ver-
sion of  LISTSERV to give  every site the  ability to implement  local commands
without having to modify LSVCMD every time  they get a new version: any command
starting with "$" would  be forwarded to LSV$CMD EXEC which  might or might not
accept it...
 
Any comments before I leave? :-)
