Plus, if I understand the question correctly, the nomail folks won't matter....since they won't be bothered by the fact that listserv will be down a while. Personally, if it was less than 6-12 hours that you would be down, I wouldn't notify them anyway. There are so many places and ways that listmail can be blocked that long at one end or the other, they'll probably not even notice. dan
