harumpf. I have discovered that if someone mails a signoff command to listserv, (about the list tel), they are not automatically deleted from the list. The request is forwarded to the listowner. Is this something new, or have i just missed it? (if you issue the command in a TELL LISTSERV message, you are automatically unsubscribed). is there a way to have users automatically deleted regardless of transmission method? here is the header for tel: * The Turkish Electronic Mail List * * Review= Public Subscription= Open Send= Private * Notify= Yes Reply-to= List,Ignore Files= Yes * Validate= All commands Mail-via= Dist2 * Confidential= No Conceal= No * Ack= Yes * Errors-To= Owners * Default-options= Repro * Daily-Threshold= 40 thanks, jr
