The very newest builds also stop processing commands once they hit a "--" line; they continue to echo the lines back in the response, but don't process them. On the other hand, LISTSERV's pretty graceful about processing the lines anyway ... you get up to ten error messages and then it stops, but it still does your work for you. The only concern is if you .signature has a valid command in it. > 2. RE: my listserv evaluation copy I noticed that I only receive a reply > from listserv when another subsequent request is made. That would be your mail system, not LISTSERV. Are you sending/receiving mail at the same host at which lsv is running? Is Sendmail set up to queue by default? (These are just to get you started -- if you want to follow up you should do it either with me privately or on comp.mail.sendmail, 'cause it's not really a LISTSERV issue :-) ) Norm -- SUPERMODEL TYRA BANKS: "I love the confidence that makeup gives me."
