Quoting from there: You will get the [message sent to the superlist] if you have an active (not NOMAIL) subscription to at least one sub-list. The idea is that the super-message must be equivalent to posting to all the sub-lists, without the duplicates. Since all it takes to get a message posted to all the sub-lists is a single non-NOMAIL subscription, this is how the super-list works. My solution to this problem is to use REVIEW FOO-L to prepare a list of recipients and than let LISTSERV do a DISTRIBUTE job of my message to this list. /b
