    In V3.0, there's a new flag you can set in the profile called RCV$SUB
    which will stop you getting SUBSCRIBERS: mail.
    
    In previous versions, only people who have their MAIDES profile field
    set to ALL-IN-1 and who aren't autoforwarded get SUBSCRIBERS: mail, so
    you could use that I suppose.

    	so does this mean that in V2.4, if my MAILDES is ALL-IN-1 and 
    	my mail IS autoforwarded, i will NOT receive subscriber mail?

    Ann,
    
    yes and No.
    
    You won't get the mail at the address that you've set autoforward to
    instead it will get delivered to the account that has autoforward set.
    
    I'm not sure if that's what the base note asked for or what GAP meant
    in his reply but that's what it does - and i'm pretty sure that those
    v3.0 profile flags don't change this behaviour in the way some people
    assume they do.

300.5More clarification.IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Mar 24 1992 09:0017
    Sorry, I was getting confused with TM meeting notices which aren't
    AF'd.
    
    In V3.0 the checks for delivering mail addressed to SUBSCRIBERS: are as
    follows:
    
    	Loop through PROFILE
    	  IF destination = ALL-IN-1 or ALLIN1 (sic)?
    	  AND RCV$SUB = 'Y'?
    	  AND Profile node field = '' OR = this node? THEN
    		Deliver the mail;
          END IF;
        END LOOP;
    
    As I recall the only change for V3.0 was to add the RCV$SUB check.

    It wouldn't be hard to write a script to loop through the profile and
    add all the users to a system distribution list (bearing in mind that a
    distribution list is just a text file - one line per address). You
    could then copy the resulting file over the file of an existing SDL.
    (The filename of an SDL is stored in the first address field - so 
    <GET PROFIL.ADDR1['distlist'] will find out the filename.)
    
    You could then edit the resulting list (using the MDL option on the
    Admin. menu).
    
    I have a feeling that someone put a suitable script in either this
    notes-file or its predecessor.
    
    Dave.
