In fact I keep notebooks (Actually SEPARATE files) for many lists that I do NOT have peers for. They are set up so that NO ONE can subscribe, and are simply subordinate subscribers of the respective real list. All the resources of having a list are required, but no hassles from junk mail. * name_of_list (log files only) * * ack= no * confidential= no * errors-to= postmaster * files= no * formcheck= yes * notebook= yes,n,separate,public * notify= no * owner= phil@uiucvmd * pw= ######## * reply-to= none * review= postmaster * send= public * service= *uiuc.edu,uiuc*,ncsa* * stats= none * subscription= closed * validate= all commands * x-tags= no
