This is the wrong way to solve your problem. The best way is of course to fix JNET to send interactive messages from @IUP, but I guess that's not an option, so the next best way is to define your @IUPxxx accounts as alternate contacts (ie NAD's) for whatever it is you want to perform deletions for. Up to 100 NAD's per node are supported, so this should not be a problem. The primary NAD is listed in :contact, the 99 others are listed in :acontactN. with the corresponding :acontforN. containing the words 'System Contact' (ask the BITNIC if you need more info). Eric
