No, a single message is sent from California to France, but there are 100 recipients in the SMTP 'RCPT TO: <....>' section. Having a subscription list in France would be useful in that the recipient list would not need to be transmitted for each message, but unless majordomo grows some smarts for this, I don't see it happening. Actually, it probably would not be too hard to majordomo to simply forward subscribe/unsubscribe messages to a peer determined by the TLD of the sender. Danny
