thanks valdis, so i created a header file in my current directory and did a mail listserv@host < TEST-L.list where TEST-L.list is --------------------------------- PUT TEST-L LIST PW=test * * JUNK * owner= myid@host * now, there is just a job sitting in the LSVSPOOL dir that, if i jobview, shows the email with the header file included. when will this run? what am i missing? thanks. --scott > -----Original Message----- > From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 2:39 PM > To: Scott Allen > Cc: LISTSERV give-and-take forum > Subject: Re: Creating lists > > > On Tue, 29 Aug 2000 14:08:00 EDT, Scott Allen > <[log in to unmask]> said: > > Lists may not be deleted with the PUT command.
