Thanks for the idea, but that won't work in my situation, I might as well
just send a message to each person and there are about 24,000 that I am doing.

I am trying to get a probe to work on a set of rather large lists.  I have
about 100 lists that I run probes on, and I am using the exact same headers
on these particular lists, but for some reason they won't go out.  My
problem is that listserv only checks the headers once daily to send the
probes, and most of the time it is around 6am.  I am looking for a way to
modify that time, so that I can test other header settings and get feedback
to see if my changes worked, instead of having to wait for the next day.
