There is both a command line interface as well as a web interface. It's been a while since I was the Listserv postmaster, so I don't remember what the command syntax is, but I do remember it being there. Btw: there is another email list for postmasters that would be more appropriate for this than the Owner's list. > I know where the files > are that store this information, but it appears to be a binary > format and I'm afraid to just edit the files for fear of the > consequences.

Most definitely don't just send them to /dev/null - bounces should be handled and not ignored. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes [log in to unmask] ICQ: 3581645 Computer Systems Manager Department of Geography ph: 979-458-1539 Texas A&M University fax: 979-862-4487
