We have a new list here, MEDNEWS, whose subscription number is growing rapidly since its inception last Friday. It is a weekly newsletter type of mail of approximately 1500-2000 lines. The DIST2 subject couldn't have happened at a more appropriate time. The first distribution went out over the weekend without using DIST :-( and LISTSERV immediately complained about it being over the mail max of 1000, so I raised the limit to 2000. Is output from a DIST2 considered to be a file or mail by LISTSERV? Will other LISTSERVs complain when it receives a DIST2 job that is over the maximum specified for their LISTSERV. I may have to peer this list with someone in the near future and would appreciate hearing directly from possible participants. Bob
