Hello, I am trying to subscribe a batch of 30 people to lists via a single email message. The message contains an ADD command for each subscriber-list combination. E.g.: ADD listname1 email_address1 fname1 lname1 ADD listname2 email_address2 fname2 lname2 etc The email is being sent from an account that has admin priveleges on the listserv server. This account is not the same as the list owner/maintainer. Note that I did not supply a password and did not get a msg indicating that I needed to. I'm having some problems: 1. I get a return message for each ADD asking me (admin) to confirm that I want to add that person. This is a problem because the whole point of batching the subscriptions is that it is automated and doesn't require admin intervention to accomplish. Note that I tried included //x JOB REPLY- TO=NONE before the ADD commands (with and without). Also note that I can't make the commands QUIET (I dont think) because I need a welcome message to be sent to the subscribers. I would also like to require a confirmation email from the subscribers. 2. Even after confirming that I want to ADD the subscriber (by clicking on the weblink) and receiving a message indicating that I have successfully added that person, the subscriber whose email was listed in the ADD command never receives a welcome to the list message. Finally, the lists have these settings: Validate = Yes, Confirm Subscription = Open, Confirm Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. EB
