Mr Camara,
  Are you sure you don't want to use a 'form' that will make you climb a
tree and act like a nut? C'mon, it's more fun! Ok, maybe you're scared of
heights. Well, I'm not. It's falling from heights that I'm afraid of. Note
the emphasis is on 'falling', heheh!

Anyway, I thank you very much for providing me the answer I was looking
for. I was afraid that the address will be automatically removed after a
number of bounces because it is very common. But all that tells me is that
it's  POSSIBLE despite it's limitations. I think those technicalities can
be worked on if I can get my hands on LISTSERV's blueprint. It's more work
for List managers but you can look at it as job security, huh? I will get
back to you in private and hopefully go over some of these technicalities,
if you haven't given up already. Thanks for the geek talk. Aluta continua..

Cheers!

George,
I get your drift but NO its not possible because LISTSERV will send mails to
[log in to unmask] and the address will be automatically removed after a number
of bounces. "Subscribers are automatically deleted from the list when delivery
errors have been  reported for a  period of  4 days or  more, or when  100
delivery errors have  been received,  whichever occurs  first".

The alternative for LISTSERV not sending mails to gsarr@gambia-l and avoiding a
delivery error is NOMAIL and we are back to square one:-)

You can send your messages on this topic to the list managers if you want us to
continue the discussion about technicalities.
Otherwise Thanks!

Momodou Camara
