Talking to the people at the troublesome domains, the ones that go blooey, get fixed, screw up again, get fixed,... has never seemed to work for me. Yeah, just set 'em digest (better than delete or nomail) and they can change back when the problem clears. A lot of our subscribers have gotten used to this, don't even ask any more. They know their system screwed up and reset their subs when the problem clears. Douglas Douglas Winship Hays County, Texas [log in to unmask] Secondary AUTOCAT Listowner MEDLAB-L
