Can't help on the first ... Lsoft will find a business reason to ... I'm hoping! :-) On the latter, we, and I suspect lots of folks, do this. Mine send e-mail jobs to repopulate the lists; maybe someday I'll change them to write directly to LISTSERV via TCP. A number of selections can't be done with LDAP data, but can be done with SQL queries of the HR systems ... which output employee IDs. Drop those IDs into a program that looks up e-mail from employee ID in LDAP to similarly repopulate a list (this is in development). I'd *much* rather that LISTSERV was flexible enough so my list owners could drop their list of employee IDs into the LISTSERV "Bulk" web page, my exit would be called to generate e-mail addresses, and the list updated via LSoft existing function. The idea being that what is dropped is simply data for the exit. cheers, wayne
