We already handle this sort of problem manually by adding the subscriber's several mailboxes and setting all but one to nomail. The problem isn't much of a headache for lists of fewer than 600 or so subscribers; perhaps it is more of an issue for subscribers greater than a few thousand. The feature would have value ONLY if it were automagic--darn clever if you have a way to do that. I suspect that the number of instances where it would open posting to DIFFERENT, unsubscribed people would be more trouble than it's worth. More and more procedures are available for domains such as universities to provide everyone with a [log in to unmask] address that works from whatever workstation, LAN or internal host one happens to log onto. Only the shortage of person hours delays implementing it for the uconn.edu domain. Hence, this looks to be a problem that might be better addressed by users' hosts (thank goodness we don't have to worry about which of many AOL computers happens to be sending any particular subscribers musings). Eventually, we'll end up telling subscribers whose address seems to change willy-nilly that it is problem to fix on their end if they want to keep using the Internet list system. /s Murph Sewall (860) 486-2489 voice Marketing Department (860) 456-7725 fax http://mktg.sba.uconn.edu/MKT/Faculty/Sewall.html
