Perhaps this is the problem.... I have done bulk deletes in 1.8c, but it seems (for me at least) you have to use the list password, not your personal password. for example, I can do this.... //job pw=TheListPassword delete listname1 [log in to unmask] delete listname1 [log in to unmask] delete listname1 [log in to unmask] //eoj Individual confirmations are not required. But.... if I do exactly the same job, but instead use my personal password, I have to confirm each one. I have reset and re-added my personal password to make sure I used the correct one, but same behaviour. If anyone can explain this, I would be interested to hear... cheers, Michael.
