To follow up .... I'm the list owner for whom Dayn Schulert is searching for a solution to this problem. I've been out of action for some days with a virus and have only just seen the exchange of messages. The current MAILTPL was edited by me when I started the list more than a decade ago. Confirmations were set to be by e-mail only. The MAILTPL was left unchanged except for minor tweaks until late last year when I added in the code for the web link confirmation following a recommendation from LISTSERV support (this is the same code that Ben Parker has supplied). The problem has surfaced only very recently and we don't know when it began, but it might have existed from the introduction of the links (though I did test the code at the time). Or it could have been triggered by the recent upgrade to 16.0. Dayn and I would be grateful for further advice and assistance from this group and LISTSERV support. Meanwhile, I've put the CHANGE1 template back to only allowing confirmations by e-mail. -- Michael Quinion Editor, World Wide Words Web: http://www.worldwidewords.org ############################ To unsubscribe from the LSTOWN-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=LSTOWN-L&A=1
