AS postmaster for LISTSERV@OHSTVMA I could only delete the user from one list since the list was at OHSTVMA. However I could not delete the userid off of the list at the other 2 sites since I am not the NAD. Why should I go seek the assistance of the NAD for OHSTVMA to delete a userid on a list with LISTSERV at 2 other sites? At times be more I tend to be more observant of the number of spool files belonging to our users, while our NAD is more concern with RSCS files. Additionally, the deletion of userids from our VM system is handled entirely by another office within this computer center. How can they can go about deleting userids from various lists? Duane
