I have a list with 100,000 users and when the list master sends a mail the server is busy processing bounces, subscribe and unsubscribe requests and so on but it will never die. If we tried it on a webcat box then there is no way. We use WebCat to subscribe users to the mailing list. Simple matter of sending an e-mail to the list server. -- Micheal O Shea Email:micheal@com4u.ch com4u.ch http://www.com4u.ch Breitistrasse 7B PGP key available upon request.
