Although you have to depend on people keeping the welcome messages they get when they subscribe (assuming you did not suppress them), I always put the following at the top of the $SIGNUP template for my lists: IMPORTANT: You subscribed as &MBX(&WHOM). If your email address changes you will not be able to change your settings or sign off. This can happen if your mail provider changes their system or if you change email programs. If this happens, write to &LISTNAME-request@&MYHOST to communicate with the list owner(s). As Roger noted you can't put this information into a list posting by way of the BOTTOM_BANNER. This would defeat LISTSERV's ability to batch many addressees together in large BSMTP envelopes and would absolutely murder your throughput on large lists. Nathan
