I guess one actually could log into a list's account, but it would be pretty useless.. So, listserv checks its dummy VMs readers once in a while, I believe the default is every 3 mins (via "CP Q R listid" I would assume.) Anyway, if any file is found there, it is transferred to LISTSERV, then processed.. Is this what you were asking? -turgut
