(Just passing by) I think from your headers and given my limited understanding, you are on a machine that runs MX (a VMS mail package) and UCX. Try and get your System admin to move to MX4.0 with patches and run it out of your machine (YCVAX) rather than a VM machine ;-) (Sooner than later *real* LISTSERV will emerge on VMS (Eric please do post it to MX beta list folks first ;-)) and you'll be happy. Terry has done more than you can comprehend of VMS folks in the TRI-STATE area (also NYU guys in some way) -- USE it. If you want I'll try and make your list on MXSer* easier in the transition till the *real* stuff comes out. Anil
