Well I will have to investigate further and see if that is the
problem. You said "some time ago," and it is recent with me, which
means it could be something else, or not. Have you written, or is
there a script to go through all lists and change attribute, and/or
would it work to send them post acknowledgement? With 300 lists and
over 12,000 users I can't really do it by hand.
