(Follow-up, if needed, via lstown-l, not lstsrv-l). I believe that the list headers SENDER= and REPLY-TO= will assist you. Furthermore, I have found that the following keywords might also be of value in a "group" ownership configuration: * SEND= PRIVATE * OWNER= primary_owner_rfc822_address,(listname) * NOTEBOOK= (as appropriate) NB-- the parens around (listname) are required The "beauty" of such an arrangement is that one owner/subscriber can alter the distribution options (or even subscribe/unsubscribe) of another, ESPECIALLY when one owner is not available e.g., vacations, other business, etc. (Of course this assumes "trust" among the owners, but that should not be a stretch within the context of the purpose of that list.) The archives provide the history, or allow one to "catch-up" to current events or previous answers.
