FWIW, why should I not try to be creative ? 1) SCAN lists BITNET and send 1 message or 1 msg by host with BCC ? 2) SCAN All LIST dump it and create a temporary OUR-BITNET-L ? Could be cute if you can import list-id as topic or append the list name to user name ... I guess it all depends on numbers... Just a wild guess so please don't shoot ... I got rid of the last BITNET address this week while doing a quick scan for look-alike double-subs ... -- Eric Paul-Hus, BLUES-L
