Issue this command from an Owner address: QUERY listname WITH NOMAIL FOR *@* Extract email addresses from the results but be prepared they will be quite verbose. If you prefer something that's easier to parse with a script or program, try this instead: QUERY ***GUI*** listname WITH NOMAIL FOR *@* (Details for the above command here <http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/htmlhelp/advanced%20topics/TCPGUI.html#23 34236>.) Next, edit the DELETE1 template to include the message you want to convey to all subscribers being removed. Lastly, issue this command from an Owner address: OK BEGIN DEL listname user1@node DEL listname user-2@node DEL listname 3-user@node [continue for all addresses] OK END Bracketing the command with OK BEGIN/OK END means you'll only get a single OK confirmation message sent to you instead of one for each subscriber. -- Regards, Michael Shannon Senior Consultant, Asia Pacific Region [log in to unmask] L-Soft international, Inc. http://www.lsoft.com Chazzozz!!
