I have a user who would like to AFD to a FILELIST so that he will know every time that a file is added to the filelist. Unfortunately, the filelist is associated with a mailing list which receives mail almost every day. Thus, the user ends up getting the filelist almost every day. Ick. ;-) From digging through the code a little, I noticed that LSVSFILE is called every time mail is sent to the list. Thus, the <listname> FILELIST definition line in LISTSERV FILELIST is updated every time. If this were not done when only mail is sent (i.e., if it were only updated when a "real" file is stored), then the poor end user's AFD would work properly. Eric, is this feasible, or would it merely cause more problems that I'm not thinking of late at night? ;-) Lois
