From the manual, under mailtpl (section, 9.4.2): - POSTACK1 (optional): when present, this message is sent in reply to any message posted to the list. This is very useful for creating "infobots", or just for returning a standard acknowledgement to contributors. The &SUBJECT variable contains the subject of the original message, and naturally the usual substitutions (&LISTNAME, &DATE, &TIME) are available. Can the POSTACK1 message be turned off for selective IDs, through the use of set listname NOACK? ---- Michael Jones ([log in to unmask]) Orlando, FL USA One of the Celiac & Cel-Kids Listowners
