1)  What is the most efficient method of assigning a long string
    to the 'Send=' keyword in a list header?
    I have been using multiple 'Send=' statements.
    I attempted to define a variable in the LOCAL SYSVARS file, such as:
            STAFF= '(DEPT-1),(DEPT-2)',
           ....
           '(DEPT-25),(DEPT-26),user1@node,user2@node'
 
    Then, in the list header of each DEPT-xx list 'Send= STAFF'
    was used.  Unfortunately, LISTSERV rejected this assignment in the
    LOCAL SYSVARS file.
 
2)  If the CACHE file has 1 entry per keyword, am I correct in
    estimating that the maximun length of the 'Send=' keyword
    parameter would be constrained by the 256 LRECL of the CACHE file,
    or can the CACHE file contain multiple keyword entries?
 
 
Thanks for your responses.
