You may want to consider creating a superlist and defining all of the alumni lists as sub-lists of that list. When there is a need to send a message to all subscribers on all alumni lists, send the message to the super-list. This will completely eliminate the spamtrap issue. If there are individuals subscribed to two or more lists, the use of a super-list will also eliminate the multiple copies which those individuals now receive. We make extensive use of super-lists and sub-lists, particularly for course-related lists. See http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/owner/owner.html#2.13.11 for a discussion of super-lists and sub-lists. -- Paul Russell (ND & BSU dad) Senior System Administrator University of Notre Dame
