[...] If you want >>confirmation on subscriptions only, you can use "Subscription= Open, >>Confirm", which works independently of "Validate=". If you have "Validate= Yes", confirmation is required unless the operating system guarantees authenticity, which is not the case with e-mail. If you want confirmation on subscriptions but not on anything else, you want "Subscription= Open,Confirm" and "Validate= No". Eric
