Matter of fact, when I checked > the majordomo who response, you were near the end of the list. the list does not have 'an' end. it gets split by bulk_mailer into a set of lists, each sub-list contains 20 (command line configureable) different hosts. the number of users is not limited. the host names are sorted before the sublists are created. the mail is then queued/sent to each sub-list 'at the same time.' so the worst case is to at the end of a sub-list of at most 20 hosts. jmb Jonathan M.
