I just double checked and it works fine on all my sites... Do you have any lists with "=" in the name?
If that is the case, then you would need to modify the first line and add in an additional cut:
SIZ=grep -i "post to $i" $POST |grep success |cut -f2- -d, | \ cut -f2 -d= |cut -f1 -d,
k=0; for j in $SIZ; do k=$(( j + k )); done
echo " Total bytes" = $k >> $TMPFILE
This additional cut will remove the listname from the line before using the "=" to isolate the size of the message
If that doesn't do it for you, then drop a copy of your post log and the name of the list with the problems and I'll see what needs to be modified.
Hope this is helpful - Jon Carnes

I've attached the post logs, although there's not much in it because I rotated them a while ago. If its better I can un pack one, and send it along. The bug still happens though, even with the limited set.
Thanks.

Sorry, Al
Your sample worked just fine - no errors. I checked it against all your list names. Check your script for typos.
You can also run each part of the script and see what results you get:
grep -i "post to lls" post # this will show you all the attempted posts to list lls
grep -i "post to lls" post |grep success # this will show you all successful posts to the list lls
grep -i "post to lls" post |grep success |cut -f2 -d= # this will remove all info on the left side of the message size # the output will like like this: 1549, message-id 1388, message-id 2461, message-id 3733, message-id 1949, message-id 2310, message-id 3337, message-id 1622, message-id 1370, message-id
grep -i "post to lls" post |grep success |cut -f2 -d= |cut -f1 -d, # this drops the info to the right of the message size # the message size is now isolated on each line: 1549 1388 2461 3733 1949 2310 3337 1622 1370
It worked just fine here. Good luck again

When I send the Who command to the list and get the response from the server, each email address has 8 spaces in front of it. I would like to express at least one request to remove those spaces in the code that generates the list as I have to manually do so when I am moving addresses between lists. It's not a big deal, obviously, but it would be helpful.
