I *strongly* advise using the "Listserv JOB" method over the one-by-one
"FOR userid" method!  The Job is much easier on network/local resources...
 
Cut out the job below and fill in your users' addresses.  Send to your
local backbone Listserv address for processing.  I do student userids
at the end of each semester this way and it works quite well.
