If you need that > fastrack take it off the list. sorry being late with this reply, i have been out of town and nearly off the net. majorodmo cannot do the auto-pruning, by the time the messag gets to majordomo, it has already been sent to all recipients sendmail therefore must do the pruning. as far as i know, sendmail is not able to do this. so we would have to introduce another program/script whose job it would be to auto-prune the addresses. even so, it would fail to handle .forward files (on other hosts) and perhaps remote /etc/aliases as well (depending upon the mail transfer agent at the far end and its configuration) in short, lotta work, little gain as far as i can see ;( jmb
