The way I dealt with this was to set my list on hold, get the header, change the settings for Send= editor,hold Then I sent the header back, freed the list, and had an opportunity to reject every message that had a houston.rr. in it. It took a while, but saved everyone from the swell of old messages. -Paul -----Original Message----- From: LISTSERV list owners' forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Dennis Budd Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 12:29 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Duplicate Posting problem On Tue, 13 Mar 2001, Michael S.

And these messages will include all the pending duplicates. I think the question was actually how to clear them before releasing the list. To the best of my knowledge there isn't any way, at least not for a listowner. Dennis > >See http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/owner/appenda.html. > >-- >Michael S.
