Hello, Momadou, then I am guessing this would explain why it took so long for the server to reset my request from nomail to mail? Because I sent the request Sunday night and amjust now getting the mails from Gambia-l and another list I am on run by this server, as well as the confirmation messages that are sent out by the server. Thanks for sending this message because I was starting to think I had done something wrong.
