Setting a boucing subscriber with just NOMAIL is more problems than it's worth (to me): they usually don't know how to Q listname or SET listname MAIL to restore and end up generating mail to the list saying "what happended to list xxx?" Instead either an UNSUB or a SET listname NOMAIL NOPOST (current version of LISTSERV) will inhibit ineffective messages sent by this user to the list, with a bounce back to them. /Pete Weiss, Penn State
