What about for Unix ListServ? ANy chance there? We have a few important lists here. Just this morning, all of out outside connections were lost because of a downed router which connected us to the InterNet. There were two lists which should have broadcast a message stating this, but because of the slow sendmail processing (because of no DSN lookup), the lists were delayed by 2 hours. I understand that this is mostly a sendmail issue, but if we could set a priority on lists, then those could always be processed first. I think that jobs submitted with lcmd get a higher priority because they are named differently. Can the same thing be done with the alias file? Maybe as a flag to lsv_amin? A possibility for 1.8c, perhaps? :-) Eric Thomas ([log in to unmask]) wrote: : You can write your own program to order files in the reader and have : LISTSERV execute it every XX minutes from the WAKEPARM FILE (you must NOT : do this from another userid with class D privileges!)
