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!
