Eric, I hope you intend to make this limit installation-controllable. At the very least, I'd like a MaximumFilesPerDay SYSVARS variable. But it would be even better if there was an exit (LSV$MFPD?) to let the installation decide on a case-by-case basis. Some of us use LISTSERV for local/campus/ regional fileservers, and would need this kind of control over the limit. Ross
