I have it set up to use the PROBE1 for a rotating 2 FAQ's every 15 days using: Renewal= Yes,15-Daily,Probe and created the PROBE1 accordingly using the manual as sample. At the moment I also use the passive probing by setting: Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Delay(4),Max(100),Probe(90) Will it work this way (rotating FAQ's every 15 days plus passive probing every 90 days) or do the rotating two FAQ's act as probes 15-daily as well and can I remove the passive probe part from the auto-delete line to avoid unnecessary server load that way? I do want to use the auto-delete line with full-auto and the delay and max as above. The list is used as member discussionlist for chronic ill people with memory and concentration problems, therefor I have to send out the FAQ's for TOPIC use and description and keep probing (passive or with the FAQ's?) as less as a burden as possible for them. BTW - everybody thanks for explaining the ddname question. TIA, Joop Reijenga.
