You should NEVER do a 'FOR userid SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE' for more than a handful of users. Each request causes a one-liner to be forwarded to 260+ servers (via DISTRIBUTE), and the processing overhead can be tremendous if you do that for massive amounts of userids (say, 1000 or more). For large amounts of users you should build a netwide DELETE job with the list of accounts to unsubscribe and submit it to LISTSERV (wildcards are now supported, which may or may not be useful to you). Please refer to the 1.6e release notes in the LSTSRV-M archives for guidelines on netwide DELETE jobs. Eric
