It is just as easy to reset mail for the students yourself than to chase individuals to put them back on the list. My solution for our School of Management lists is to set confirmation for April 22 (for instance) and force all those who wish to continue to receive mail to reconfirm their subscriptions. This seems to work just fine. ________________________________________________________________ Lary Jones % School of Management Project Support Computing Services % (List Mgmt) [log in to unmask] Binghamton University % (General) [log in to unmask] Binghamton, NY 13902-6000 % (607) 777-2879
